Agreed on the brow. Something about him really appeals to me. I think it’s because in public he always wears Buddy Holly glasses, and that just gets me right in the pants.

He sort of has a neanderthal brow, though. I don’t know if can really get in on a discussion of his hotness.

I loved him as Sass on Notorious! That was actually a good show! I wish they’d release it on DVD.

He eats brains! And I think he’s a fine actor.

It’s too bad for you that I care WAY less about American Idol than I do about Lost.

“sort of a bad guy” to describe his character is the understatement of the year.

I love that you actually admitted to your sorority sisters that you were going to a “Star Trek”-related meeting and didn’t just throw on a hoodie and try to escape out the front door unnoticed.

I’m terribly sorry about the trouble with the club, but I guess I can see where they’re coming from. When you’ve been excluded from absolutely every other social activity, you probably get a big kick out of making yours super-exclusive, huh?

It must be so amazing to not have to choose between two hours of entertainment and two week’s worth of cold cuts.

Is that naked and emotional men beside him in the sauna the young Willem Dafoe or what? I agree with your only-as-Spock observation. I watching something like this and think, “Meh.”

I get the feeling he’s sort of a bad guy from the ten minutes of the show I’ve seen. Which makes it all the hotter.

DO NOT THREATEN ME. I will . . .

watch “American Idol” in real time, find out who wins, and text you spoiler after spoiler before you can watch your DV-Red version.

When I was a freshman in college, I heard about the campus Star Trek club. I made up my mind to join, so I put on my pink trench coat (this was pre-Columbine, and it was still popular for nerds to wear trench coats) and went to the meeting.

(My sorority sisters thought it was a little weird, but as long as it didn’t interfere with mixers, they were more or less supportive.)

To say it did not go well is a gross understatement. I was the only girl, which you’d think would be a good thing, but as soon as they heard I was a Next Generation (as opposed to an original series) fan, couldn’t speak a word of Klingon and hadn’t read the Star Trek physics book, they practically kicked me out of the meeting. It didn’t matter to them at all that I had been to a convention AND that I had the most authentic uniform my mother’s hands could create. I was humiliated. Truthfully, I’m still not over it.

i’m somewhere between trekkie and intrigued newbie, i guess! i’m more familiar with the next generation and voyager than with the original kirk/spock series, and i’m certainly no expert on either of those series, so i didn’t really know what the movie was going to be about. however, having seen the trailer i figured i had to go, plus y’know movie tickets here are cheap as hell.

like everyone else i’ve spoken to about it, i’m now enamored with zachary quinto, but only as spock. and upon reading your above description of extreme-pore-closeups, i’m considering going to see it again at an IMAX theatre. ps, i found that zachary quinto porn that above commenter requested:

Another friend asked me if it wouldn’t just be cheaper to watch old eps of Heroes on Hulu. Maybe that’s my ZQ porn right there.

Oh, I could ruin the show FOR REALZ if I really wanted to. Just you watch out.

It’s those pointy sideburns. I want to shiv someone with them.

OMG, I had no idea this sort of treachery was going on right here in my city! If I’m thinking of the right Empire, though, it’s in Times Square, and anyone watching their movies there really deserves what they get.

Glad to hear you actually saw it on a real IMAX screen and not one of the trendy, new IMAX Lite screens: http://bit.ly/1kWhg

I was neither here nor there on Star Trek OR Zachary Quinto (though I used to watch Heroes). I KNOW it’s a dorky haircut, but I just totally wanted to lick him.

Point is: quit trying to ruin the show for me just because you’re mad that I’m not keeping up with it appropriately.
