• I know who won: It's the one that Spock attacked when he was emotionally compromised.

• After all, Denny Crane has never lost.

• They repeatedly, REPEATEDLY said that it was an alternate universe. i.e. the prime universe STILL EXISTS. The point of Vulcan's destruction was to show that this was a new timeline and therefore new story possibilities exist. But GOD FUCKING FORBID they tread new ground and explore new "what-ifs", you'll earn the "eternal enmity" of some angry fan who cannot understand the simple concept of an alternate reality. Holy fuck some people are never willing to open their own minds. Also you could just have said that "doesn't suck dick", as from someone who is currently in medical school that just sounds like an incredibly stupid misuse of the words.

• If you don't count making one of the founding civilizations of the United Federation of Planets a bunch of homeless vagabonds,then yeah maybe it was not so bad. But if they don't make some major fixes to reverse that then I am afraid Mr. Abrams has earned the eternal enmity of this Star Trek fan. Good grief as bad as Enterprise was they didn't do anything that awful and in multiple interviews J.J Abrams stated that he isn't really a Star Trek fan so he is about as qualified to do a good job telling a Star Trek story as Michael Bay is at making a Transformers movie that doesn't fellate alimentary canal terminus.

• ... and this movie had Old Spock from the original timeline/TOS, the Kobayashi Maru, the planet Delta Vega, the Romulans, one of the coolest and most authentic renderings of the planet Vulcan in cinema, and (god forbid) an original storyline which actually managed to use villains *from the prime universe*. Not to mention a retelling of Christopher Pike's story as well, which is PURELY TOS material. Yeah totally not referencing the original series or the movies at all. Totally not Star Trek. At all. It's one thing if you just didn't like the movie compared to TOS or whatever but this persistent claim that it's somehow "not actually Star Trek" is such utter fanboy horseshit that it makes people who actually know what they're talking about cringe.

• I regret to inform that is not actually the case. TNG went out of their way not to alienate TOS fans,they recycled some of the TOS storylines in the first couple of seasons,even tossed in stuff from the aborted series that became Star Trek :The Motionless Picture.

• Because he's in love.

• Kirk does not believe in the no-win scenario.

• And possibly solve the problems with Arkham Assylum.

• What if it's the dark kirkening and richie gets killed?

• Another plot with past and future versions of the same character? Really, Rob? Really?

• Yeah I bet every annoying fanboy said the same thing when TNG came out. And when DS9 came out. And when Voyag--okay maybe that's fair, but you get the point. Just because it doesn't fit your personal fantasy does not make it any less Star Trek.

• Scotty! Beam them up now! It's the only way to merge them back into one being!

• The important question is, did Shatner win?

• 300 Quatloos on the the Fat One!

• You can take all the epic grandstanding and dramatic build-up from DBZ and 10 other shows like it, condense it into a single spectacular, and it would still not be remotely awesome as this!!! Hell, you dont have to be Obi-Wan Kenobi to feel the disobedience in the force, from their Amok Time-themed showdown!

• Shouldn't the universe have been obliterated when these two locked hands? Kind of like matter meeting anti-matter?

• The victor is obvious. After all, Kirk and Kirk may be an even battle but Kirk who is also Denny Crane? VICTORY!

• Thinking the same thing.  It just started up in my head all on its own...

• Captain Kirk is arm-wrestling the mountain. Why is he arm-wrestling the mountain?

• pishaw, where is the picture of picard arm wrestling Cisko?  That's where the best starfleet commander action is at.

• But I want to see which Kirk emerges victorious.

• Daa da daa da daa da DAH da da DAAH daa

• I like to call it S.T.I.N.O. (Star Trek in Name Only)...

• Is there a vegetarian option? ;)

• Awesome pic! No more can or need be said.

• How dare you! It's obvious that KIRK is going to win.

• This is almost as great as Starbucks at Starbucks.

• better - somebody needs to pshop them surrounded by three wolves and the moon wait, even better, they need to frame it and add it to Potimus's rectum!!

• Someone needs to photoshop that. Edit: While you're at it, put them in their appropriate uniforms!

• Apply a helical inclined plane to that din.

• It's obvious they've knocked over the Heisenberg compensator in their struggles.

•  As it should be,the Authentic Star Trek wins not that Star Wars in a Star Trek coating crap.

• It's the legendary battle of ham versus beefcake!

• Don't let either one tear his shirt!

• KIRK WINS!

• Why are they not doing this on top of a volcano, in the midddle of a thunderstorm, in the path of an asteroid strike? That's the only background that could do this image justice.

• Maybe it's the angle, but it looks like Shatner's winning.

• This helps to make up for the travesty that was "Quantum Quest" http://www.toplessrobot.com/2010/09/quantum_quest_is_important_terrible.php

• I came here to post that very thing

• It's not possible to view this picture and not hear the battle theme from Amok Time in your brain.  Try it.  You can't, can you?

• They are NOT arm wrestling.  They're merely exchanging long protein strings.  If you can think of a simpler way, I'd like to hear it.

• You cannot look at this picture and not hear the battle music from Amok Time.  It's just not physically possible.

• they can provided: we don't observe them therefore their wavefunctions re: position expand and overlap or their shared occupation of space is confined to under a period of plank time therefore is unobservable. either way we just should not be able to see it. there are some things to awesome for this universe to allow. 

• THE KIRKENING! I KNOW EVERYTHING! I FUCK EVERYONE! I KICK EVERY ASS!

• It's a promo shot for a Star Trek documentary. http://www.epixhd.com/the-captains/

• impossible - nothing beats the shatnerquake cover

• Shouldn't there be some sort of testosterone explosion?  I thought two separate sources of Kirk's manliness could not occupy the same place at the same time...

• What we are witnessing is the rare mating dance of the Kirk. This can last for days and leave hundreds dead in its wake.

• This is the best picture ever...actually beats the shatnerquake cover:)

• We heard you like Kirk, so we made Kirk armwrestle Kirk so you could watch Kirk kick his own ass. ...Xzibit is better at this than me.

• Jim Kirk is dead....but Tiberius Kirk is supposedly alive.  JJ Abrams, please take this idea and run with it.

• there...can be only one!
