Burn Gorman should have been Chekov

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 2011)

I kinda thought it was slapped together. Poor writing and choppy plot. Definitely not enough character building.
But my main point is that Burn Gorman of 'Torchwood' fame, should have been picked to play Chekov. He would have been a great young Chekov.
Not sure if he tried out for it, but they should have reached out to him.
I think JJ Abram is over-hyped and it's beginning to show. He never had the golden touch, that has been attributed him.
Joss Whedon's Firefly would far outshine Star Trek but our culture is beyond saturated with old media nostalgia, so there is no room for true gems anymore.
