    I’m beginning to think about Karl Urban how I think of Gary Oldman. He acts so well he blends in. You see the character over the actor.

      He really does seem to be the next generation (heh) of that type of actor. So many times I end up watching something and saying "Holy shit is that Karl Urban?" after ages of just vibing.

    Karl Urban is the best of the Kelvin-verse cast. He felt like De Kelley/McCoy without doing an imitation or parody. Even in little things like facial expressions and line delivery, he nailed it.

      Completely agree. I love Zachary Quinto as Spock but Karl definitely stands head and shoulders above the rest.

      Fuck it I'm going to rewatch the movies later. I'm having a pretty horrific week and could use a distraction before doing something stupid.

        Zachary Quinto's Spock has the big issue of being written by someone that never watched a single episode of Star Trek. Somehow he manages to come up more off than Spock in

        SNW Those Old Scientists and they were lampshading how unspock like he was acting.

          Okay. I still love him as Spock though. It's an alternate universe with a different take. I never said that he was exactly the same, just that I love him.
