Is Kirk a jerk?
Two new “Star Trek” clips have hit the web and I like one, but not the other.
The first is called “A Shot of Love,” and it debuted over at MTV. It has Kirk (Chris Pine) hitting on Uhura (Zoe Saldana) before mouthing off to some barroom degenerates.
Kirk comes off as a spoiled brat and, from the cut on his face in other video that’s been posted, it doesn’t look like he comes away unscathed. (MTV also has some exclusive “Star Trek” video from the film’s set.)
I was much more impressed with “Star Trek’s” second trailer, which still reminded me of Kirk’s challenges, but not why I might loathe him.
Anyway, today’s second new clip is called “Disease and Danger” and it’s posted over at Yahoo. “D&D” is much more of what I love from the franchise: It details the first meeting between Kirk and an argumentative and hypochondriac Dr. “Bones” McCoy. Good stuff. I can’t wait to see this movie.
What do you think?
