Hour 2 of Prime Time Geek Episode 19 is once again brought to you by a snarky Jimmy Kirk hitting on a hot-to-trot Uhura in the new Star Trek movie. Don’t miss tomorrow night’s LIVE broadcast of Episode 20, starting at 8PM EST, as I’ll be reviewing the new Trek film during Hour 1. So far, everyone I’ve talked to has loved it–it’s shaping up to be this summer’s Iron Man in terms of near-universal audience and critical appeal. Kudos to J.J. Abrams–there hasn’t been this much excitement about a Star Trek film since … well, actually, I don’t think there’s EVER been this much excitement and interest among casual moviegoers for a Trek film. Pretty amazing, indeed.
Will write more about this episode later, when I can see clearly–eyes dilated at the moment, makes blogging … challenging.

The perfect Green Lantern will be Sam Witwer from Smallville. I know you must be thinking that I am crazy but just look at him. He has the face and build for the role. He is in about his late 20s or early 30s which makes him even more perfect for the part. He has acting experience so its not like another Brandon Routh incident will reoccur. If not him then I guess Chris Pine is the best rumored choice, but he is not a better one than Sam Witwer. If Pine was given the role he would be paid a ridiculous amount of money and everyone will view him as Captain Kirk, not Green Lantern. Pine also looks nothing like the Green Lantern…
I have many more reasons why he should play the Green Lantern. I am so confident in this that I have even written a petition. Here’s the link, read it and sign before you leave, I’m sure you will agree with me:

Sam “Crashdown from Battlestar Galactica” Witwer, really? I must respectfully disagree, as I don’t really see it. Yes, perhaps the age and build are right, but Hal Jordan carries himself with a Tom-Cruise-as-Maverick flyboy swagger that I’ve never seen Witwer attempt. Crashdown turned out to be jerk under pressure, and Davis Bloome is just tortured and needy. I Just can’t see him playing the dashing, cocky, Han-Solo type. Mind you, I don’t have a better suggestion, and I’ve been proven wrong before, many times …
Thanks for the comment!
