I saw the pictures. The way these characters capture the physical appearance of the original Spock and Uhura, in younger form, is impressive. However, the photos of that kiss make me think more of a couple of young women I knew years ago who fell in love with homosexual men...sort of sad and icky at the same time. And it’s sad that so many romances from the screen these days that have any juice to them are fantasy, fall-in-love-with-an-alien-or-vampire...And, of course, the actor that plays Spock is an outed gay guy.
Just another movie in a long list of movies I won’t see. I only watched about 1/3 of the first one and it sucked IMO.
I don’t think his orientation matters, as long as he can be convincing as Spock. He’s a good actor, IMO. And from everything I have read, he doesn’t swish around lisping “i’m here, I’m queer, get used to it”!
He was in both seasons of American Horror Story and he killed it! Literally in some cases.
M'lle I saw it as an emotionless Vulcan enduring a kiss by a passionately human woman. Maybe that Sylar guy playing for the wrong team helped with the characterization.
I'll even venture to say, perhaps it takes someone as gay as a three dollar bill to kiss Zoe Saldana onscreen without shooting off like a rocket into the final frontier!
