Even the academics are weighing in on the casting of Chris Pine as Captain Kirk. Lawrence Krauss is professor of physics and astronomy at Case Western Reserve University, and also wrote the books The Physics of Star Trek, and Beyond Star Trek. Does this guy have any spare time? If you missed the class, Julie E. Washington of The Cleveland Plain Dealer took notes for you:
"Will fans — who are understandably wary after the fast demise of television's "Star Trek: Enterprise" and the mothballing of the movie franchise — learn to love Pine, Quinto and Urban with the same fervor as Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley?"
Capt. James T. Kirk
Original actor: William Shatner, currently portraying attorney Denny Crane in "Boston Legal."
New actor: Chris Pine.
Where we've seen him: Music manager Jake in "Just My Luck," neo-Nazi assassin in "Smokin' Aces."
Krauss says: "He looks like a fine young man. The key thing is, can he overact?"
