Khan: Montalbahn was Mexican, granted, but he pulled off a great character of Asian/Indian decent. Not a knock, but my eyes tell me there's a difference here between a darker-skinned actor and a pasty fellow (however, great) actor from the U.K. "Whitewash" was a term that was thrown around by multiple media outlets, and I have to agree. Seriously...what if Uhura was played by, say, Emma Roberts or Michelle Rodriguez. Seriously...you wouldn't buy into that. Yeah, Takei is Japanese, Cho is Korean. But at least he's still Asian, and Takei gave his blessing.

I could kiss Karl Urban, and I don't swing that way. Dude is a fan, too. After the first movie, he became my new favorite actor.

They all have done it justice.

Cumberbatch hit the role on the head. He's great. He just doesn't look the part. Just saying. About as fucked up as Kristy Alley not playing Saavik in 3 and 4 (still not over that).

Not mad about the flipped Kirk-Spock roles, just corney because of the exact lines flipped and scenario being a carbon copy. It was a cheap pop to draw a rise of OG fans, and in my opinion, totally a backfire.

Maybe I'm just a whore from the old school, but I'm fine with that. I'd rather go out as a gatekeeper of all that was...
