Hmm. And, hmm again

Simon Pegg as Star Trek's Scotty? Simon Pegg... as Montgomery Scott. Pegg... Simon... Scotty...

Hmm.

Don't get me wrong: I love Simon Pegg. He is a very funny man and a strong enough actor to pull off serious roles as well as comedic ones. But Scotty? "You cannae' change the laws o' physics" Scotty? I can't quite see it somehow.

On the other hand, the presence of Pegg has finally made me slightly interested to see JJ Abrams' "rebooting" of the tired old Trek franchise. Possibly.

But never mind Star Trek: the real question on everybody's lips is "Who will be the next Doctor Who?" (not that David Tennant appears to be going anywhere in the foreseeable future even if he is taking a "gap year" to do some Shakespeare; but you know what the world of fandom is like).

[Hmm, this turned into a bit of a geek thread, didn't it?]
