I don't know whether you have already watched TWOK, but ST09 is designed, at least in respect to Kirk, to be the antithesis to TWOK, to show the very characters traits of him which cause his success ... until that Khan fella shows up.

I'm going to watch TWOK tonight after I have watched Cranford. Which is a funny costume drama. So nothing like Star Trek

I think that Trek has often been a funny costume drama.

[janeway72]

That is very funny.

Shatner's Kirk is awesome in that scene don't you think? Lets see Pine's Kirk get his shirt ripped in the sequel

Starfleet stitching ws rubbish.............no idea who they farmed it out to in the 23rd Century but I bet they're contract wasn't renewed.

Cheryl Cole had on a dress exactly like that on the X factor a couple of weeks ago

Indeed, but then again Kirk should blame himself. Other captains make detours to get their hands on some Tholian silk whereas he seems to purchase cloth from the Mudd Cooperation.
