Oct 15 2008Meet the Mannequins of 'Star Trek'
This Friday's Entertainment Weekly cover has a special surprise, nerds: it's New Spock and New Kirk! Despite being airbrushed into an oblivion of smooth flesh and some hair, I have to say, Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine look the parts. Sure, Quinto also looks the part of DJ from Roseanne, and Pine looks so pretty I'm about to propose to this dude, but still, not bad, Star Trek. Not bad.
(Thanks, Matt.)

Hmmm, I wonder if this will go to number one in the movie charts on release, you know, to be...... FRIGGITY FIRST..........in the chart.

zachary quinto's eyebrows are always out of this world, you ever seen him as sylar on heroes? those are the brows of which dreams are made.

This will make George Lucas' Star Wars prequels look like masterpieces. JJ Abrams will over produce and under-deliver with this.

hey, I like the star wars prequels.. the effects look better x)
but I love muppets, don't get me wrong

Okay, what I want to know is: are there similar pictures of Simon Pegg and John Cho? And if so, are their nipples touching as well? I'd buy THAT for a dollar.

Is it just me, or does this look like Star Trek: The High School Years?
9. The F'n Jem'Hadar - October 15, 2008 10:00 PM
So is this going to be Star Trek: the Wrath of Prom? they seriously look like high schoolers.

Look. At the size. Of Chris Pine's. Head. He's like a pink-skinned Frankenstein's monster. Quinto looks good though. Seriously - keep looking at Pine's head. It'll drive you nuts.

Do we really need another Star Trek movie? Can't some sci-fi nerd come up with something better?
13. Bobeyo - October 16, 2008 8:23 AM
High-school teenage mannequin Star Trek characters. Spock should look older and wiser, and Kirk should look less like every other prettyboy in the universe.
But whatever. It's not like I really care anyway.

Death to Abrams!!! This is not Star Trek. This is just another JJ Abrams wank job. After a failed series and a flop of a film, the franchise cannot survive this egomaniac. What a shame. I hope that bastard gets eaten by a walrus. Better yet, hang him from a meat hook, flay the skin from his body, and slowly but relentlessly pick at his major muscles with a crochet hook. That's better than he deserves, but the best I can come up with on short notice. Any ideas on how to keep the worthless fuck alive and conscious throughout?

You guys are fuckin stupid lol....all of you....stupid ass idiots! Of course they look young...it takes place right after the academy and when they first meet...so yeah...they are gonna be YOUNG. Dumb slags you are! Look at the guys and girls coming out of the Naval Academy now...and Westpoint...THEY ARE YOUNG!! Only in their very early 20's! So this makes perfect sense for Spock and Kirk to be young. You dumb mother fuckers have no idea what you are talkin about.
16. Erik - October 16, 2008 11:15 AM
How the hell are they going to bridge this into him leading the Enterprise? I just can't buy that a kid that young would be in charge of a multi billion-dollar spacecraft.

@15
I'll tell you who's a "stupid ass idiot-" Abrams for thinking he can go backwards in the chronology without violating canon. Images released to date have already confirmed that he's screwed up major elements AND that he doesn't seem to care about it at all.
As to we "dumb mother fuckers" having no idea what we're talking about - try me.

WTF? It looks like the cover of a gay porno.
19. Robert April - October 16, 2008 12:50 PM
"the surprising secrets of next summers blockbuster" - did they move the release date AGAIN? (I don't consider May to be summer).
and if the secret is "their gay", I have news....its not a secret. Why do you think they time-traveled to San Francisco?

They're the new Ambiguously Gay Duo, boldly going into eachother's orifices.

I'm torn, here. On the downside, it looks like it will be targeted to The Hills crowd. On the upside, I might actually read this issue of EW before I throw it into the recycling bin. Because EW SUCKS.
