I dunno why? I was emotionally attached to bearded Spock. Or maybe that was sexually attached, I'm not sure.
Well, obviously it was because he was also played by Leonard Nimoy, which was a starting point to me really liking the developing character of bearded Spock.
Similar with this reboot. We start with extending the good will of how we feel about Kirk, Spock, McCoy, et al. and give these new guys a chance to fill those boots.
Most people loved the way Zach Spock filled them. Plenty of people are pleased with the Urban McCoy fit. And there's perhaps less of us that feel Pine's fine in Shatner's boots.
The spirit of the proceedings and the actors' interpretations sold me on the new gang by movie's end. That's saying something, because there have been many Trek movies where the spirit of the proceedings barely sold me on the already-beloved gang.
