He did say "tend to be"....

I'm actually in the same boat. I generally find myself attracted to honkies, but that are definitely exceptions. Shemar Moore is smoking hot, Daniel Day Kim is very doable, just to name a couple.

I like Star Trek.

Oh nooooo, I must disagree.
Patrick Stewart is sexier.
Always.
Even when Shatner was young he was not as cute and never anywhere near as cool.
PS is hotter as Picard, or as anybody, really. Young or old.

Anybody else see a resemblance to Fee Waybill?

Fairly exclusively. I suprised myself with a major crush on an Asian guy about a year-and-a-half ago.

But, if you'll excuse the expression, the seed was likely planted by shirtless Sulu. I probably discovered I was gay in the mid-60's when this episode first aired. I would have been around 6 years old.

Captain Picard is sexy as all hell and BALD. Only achieved one other time in media history ... (Yummy Yul Brynner).

Yay, Star Trek. Off I go. Hope New Kirk is yummy, too.

Have I said Squeeeeeee yet??!

SquEEEEEEEE!

Well... We went and saw it this afternoon......

I was very disappointed.

I'll post a full review later, after I've gathered my thoughts.

The more I think about this movie, the more I dislike it.

My main complaints are below (spoilerized for those who have not seen it yet).

Spoiler:

I give this movie a D. Star Trek? More like Star Blech.

JW- yours is the first bad review I've heard. I'm sad you didn't enjoy it. I'm hoping to see it.

Read the reviews on IMDB. There are plenty of negative reviews there, and most are spot on with what bothered me.

My main complaints are below (spoilerized for those who have not seen it yet). Spoiler: I’ve heard a lot of praise for the casting. And while I agree that some were brilliant (Spock and McCoy, for example) others were cases of terrible miscasting. They made Kirk into the same arrogant asshole we seen in nearly every action film out there. He was indistinguishable from dozens of others of that type. At no time did I believe him as Kirk. The original Scotty was a professional; this movie turned him into a buffoon. Overall, I was bothered by the “Muppet Babies” version of the Enterprise crew that they presented us. They were all the same age and all at the academy at the same time. How convenient! It ignored that Spock, Scotty, and McCoy were older and more experienced, and that Sulu and Uhura were younger… And what in the name of the Seven Hells was Chekhov doing there? My second big complaint was the sets. $150 million and they couldn’t afford to build some sets??? The 20th century power plant interiors reeked of Sci Fi Channel Movie of the Week. Totally unbelievable, cheesy, and cheap. Every time they showed “Engineering” I was yanked out of what little suspension of disbelief I could muster. The destruction of Vulcan was one of the biggest WTF moments in my moviegoing career. If I hadn’t been with friends, I think I would have walked out on the movie at that point. And I shall never forgive them for killing off Spock’s mother. There were many other things that had me squirming in my seat; the red goo that was so dangerous and powerful that a drop of it can destroy a planet, yet it’s stored an handled so casually; a starship being built out in the middle of a cornfield – at a place that just happens to be where Star Fleet recruits from all over Earth report to (what, no direct flights to San Francisco from anywhere else?). I give this movie a D. Star Trek? More like Star Blech. __________________ Unrestrained frivolity will lead to the downfall of modern society.
