Kirk is Back
Four decades after NBC axed the original series, the unstoppable Star Trek franchise was back again last night -- with a feature premiere in Australia and a surprise preview in Austin.
And with a new Captain Kirk. 28-year-old Chris Pine takes the helm as Young Kirk, succeeding the super-legendary William Shatner. The film (titled simply Star Trek) opens in the U.S. on May 8th.
Early reviews seem mighty good.

I would like to say that the Kirk just-a-hint-of-a-future-paunch is captured perfectly here.
I always admired the touch of extreme realism in this -- that in future centuries it was possible (or even likely!) that the epitome of male beauty would include a neo-chubby physique.
