Ah does anyone know if there's a BadlyDrawn Modern!Tyki yet?

It's awkward for me, liking AOS Trek, when I've been a lifelong Trekkie.  I grew up with the syndicated Original Series.  I grew up with the movies.  I can tell you where I was during the pilot AND the series finale for Next Generation.

There are those within the Trek fandom who look down on those who enjoy the characters created with Abrams NuTrek, especially in light of the fact that he really wasn't a fan.  Yes, that still boggles my mind. How can you, in good conscience, write a script and cast actors to such an iconic series when you, yourself, are not a fan?

But he's not.  And I am.

And you know what?  I LOVED the casting choices for AOS Trek.  I really did.  And I'm not the only one.  Those haters who claim that those of us who like the AOS cast are really posers and wannabe Trekkies, need I remind you that Leonard Nimoy said this?:

"When Karl Urban introduced himself as Leonard McCoy and shook hands with Chris Pine, I burst into tears. That performance of his is so moving, so touching and so powerful as Doctor McCoy, that I think D. Kelley [DeForest] would be smiling, and maybe in tears as well."  

This is a direct quote from this particular interview.

So hate on me for being a fan of Urban's.  Hate on me for being a fan of his portrayal of Bones.  I'm not the only one who loved it.  And while I feel he had a great disservice done to him during Into Darkness (don't EVEN get me started on that hot mess), I still feel that he and the rest of the cast of AOS Trek were spot on.
