Star Trek: Deep Space Whine

For those who don't watch Lost, you may not know that J.J. Abrams likes to take his time, no matter how much you complain about it.

Sure, for his reboot of Star Trek he has cast not one but two Spocks and has hired an actual Russian to play Chekov (18-year-old hottie Anton Yelchin), but the rest of the Enterprise crew is still up for grabs (although the ladies at AfterEllen.com have some ideas about thier ideal Uhura).

Abrams also likes to be mysterious, as with the current viral rumor that he will tap his Mission: Impossible III star Tom Cruise to play Captain Kirk's ill-fated predecessor Captain Pike. And on top of all this, he still hasn't titled the 01.18.08/Cloverfield production, amongst several other top-secret projects.

One thing is certain though: whenever we do get this new Star Trek, it will look nothing like this. Seriously, playing Starfleet captain to your mom's Vulcan science officer? Come on dude, when you get a chance to wear the ears, you take it.
