Quote of the day: Phantom as Star Trek

[my_daroga]

Paris Opera was a living thing, full of a mad collection of people performing and doing their thing. It was somewhat like the starship Enterprise—completely self-sufficient.
-John Mathieson, cinematographer for the 2004 Phantom of the Opera

So my challenge to you: who's who? Any crew, but I prefer TOS and TNG because I know them better. And DS9 (but we already know Bashir is the Persian). Basically I don't know Voyager and Enterprise. And whatever POTO canon you can shoehorn 'em into.

Personally, I want Kirk to play everything.

Also he's fully functional and anatomically correct (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU4B8nYKH5E) (watch it... the only way it could be better is if Brent was singing it himself) so he'd keep the slash fans happy.

I'm not bashing his talent! I love Shatner in all his over the top Shakespearean glory. I was just quoting Calculon! (could have been worse, could have been Zap Branigan: The Velour Fog). I like that Shatner can laugh at himself and I have enough drama school training to know he would have been awesome on stage, it just translates to the screen as over the top cheese. Besides he gave the world the phrases "I don't say 'sabotage'. YOU say 'sabotage', I say 'saboTAGE'" and "don't tell me how to act, it sickens me" without which the world would be a sadder place.

Oh and this-

which I now see you have in your office.

Oh, I am glad, then. I wasn't actually upset or anything, and I think he'd make a great Carlotta. I just don't think he's *bad*--just special.

And LOL to the song. I hadn't heard it before. Awesome.

And yes, it's at my desk. I don't like to have to explain to people I'm a geek.

we used to have Captain Kirk on the fridge, made me happy.

Yes very.... special :D I hope the new Kirk can live up to his awesomeness

[my_daroga]

I think he's on our fridge, too.

I hope the new Kirk can live up to his awesomeness

I don't see any way this can possible happen, especially since it looks like they cast for looks. Not that they didn't cast Shatner for looks, too, but I think they'd have done better going with someone less perfect-looking and more attitude-appropriate. But we'll see, eh?
