A Comparison of Treks Old and New
Empire Online has a few new Star Trek movie pics to go along with its cover story, including the above comparison of original recipe Kirk n’ Spock and the new, crispy flavor. As you can see, the old duo looked like human beings, and thanks to William’s Shatner’s amazing ability to radiate heterosexuality, he could stand right against Leonard Nimoy and not look…inappropriate. Meanwhile, Chris Pine and Sylar appear to be wax dummies of gay porn stars. Unsettling! Head over to Empire to see a few more pics, including the bridge screen, which I would have shown you myself if it were at all exciting.
