Karl Urban on His Favorite TOS Episodes, Says Fans Will Be Happy with Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:24, 18 July 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The latest issue of SFX magazine, just out in the UK, features a new interview with actor Karl Urban, the new Leonard McCoy from J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel movie. Here are few excerpts, courtesy of Sci Fi Pulse.

What are your favourite Trek episodes?


"‘The Corbomite Maneuver'. It has a great McGuffin. And ‘Amok Time'. It's about the relationship between Kirk, Spock and McCoy, you get to see some of the Vulcan culture and I like how Bones saves the day."


Will the movie appeal to both newcomers and hardcore Trek fans?


"Longtime fans will be really happy with it. It will introduce Star Trek to a new demographic... it's just so faithful to the original character archetypes. It's going to be like the Star Trek that you know and, at the same time, like nothing you have ever seen before."

More from Urban on the McCoy character can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Corbomite Maneuver and Amok Time are two of the greatest Star Trek episodes of all time. Great character stuff.

Coincidentally, I have Corbomite Maneuver playing on one computer at this very moment, while doing my work on another.

It would have been fun to have seen Jim Kirk playing poker the way the TNG gang did.

Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
