I could understand Quinto quite well but not as good as Benedict. As I said, Chris Pine war hardest. But this is just because I've been to Britain quite often and watch British films and read English literature quite a lot so I understand many Britishisms. But I had to watch Sherlock more than once (and with English subtitles) to get all the subtleties.

I get Britishisms, too, when I read them. But fast-talking mumbling, I often don't catch just exactly what epithet they just threw at each other, lol.

Does Pine mumble? He might. He does nothing for me, so I ignore him. Which is hard to do, when he's the great Captain James T. Kirk, I suppose.

I don't know if mumbling's the right word. To me he sounds as if he was speaking with his mouth full.

I just went to you tube and tried to listen to his natural speaking voice, but he drives me crazy, so I didn't listen long. The impression I got was that he's very nasal and talks as though he's got cotton stuffed in his sinuses. He also has lower teeth that stick out a bit farther than his upper teeth, so that might give him a strange speaking voice right there. And probably most important, he's very sure of himself and thinks he's cool anyway, so while filming the movie, he might have been trying too hard to take on the Capt. JTK swagger, doing the Capt. Cool thing so much, he's not understandable.

I told my husband I would be wearing my I AM SHERLOCKED t-shirt, and there might be some squeeing. (Did I spell that right?) He asked what that was, and I said fangirling, which he got. He seemed OK with it all. Not that he has a choice.

A spray-painted-on costume. Yes.

Whatever do you mean?

I have to stop looking at this picture. I thought was only smitten with the Sherlock look, but this one is hard to look away from.

I still wonder how many staff it took to get him in those trousers!

Hmmm....thank you all for putting this pic back in its rightful place.

Mary Me · May 12, 2013 2:19 pm

Still my favorite.

Oh, this time with hand! Have to change my wallpaper immediately.

Dear Gene Rodenberry, thank you so much for your wonderful imagination so that in 2013 we would have this:
Powerful. Intense. Magnificent. Hot. If there's a secret recipe to this, I really don't want to know it!

No pics for over an hour? Looks like everybody is still on the floor.
Don't bother getting up.

Harriet · May 12, 2013 8:21 pm

Lovely one, QE. And a real shirt, for a change

SusiGo · May 12, 2013 8:22 pm

This is just beautiful.

tobeornot221b · May 12, 2013 8:23 pm

And now - for recovery - someone without hands, tight trousers and evil eye (more precisely: hardly any eye!).

besleybean · May 12, 2013 8:25 pm

But look at the neck and chest!

Harriet · May 12, 2013 8:26 pm

Really makes one want to find out what's behind this cleavage

QuiteExtraordinary · May 12, 2013 8:27 pm

No hands, but enough neck for the rest of the day. Chest even.

Here's the special edition for you, besley. Safe enough?
