The weird thing is that I read somewhere (I thought it was on SciFi Wire) James McAvoy (a Scot who actually speaks Scots English as a native, though Paul is so good I can't tell the difference) had already been cast as Scotty, and I thought it was even in IMDb, but it's certainly not in IMDb now. I don't know if it was a false rumor or they were negotiating or what. I can't find the article and can't remember when I read it (helpful, aren't I?).

I'm a ST fan (DS9 was my favorite). I'm still a little weirded out at the thought of Zach Quinto playing Spock! He's just completely connected with creepy in my head!

I certainly hope Paul McGillion gets it!

I think Zachary will do a great job as Spock :) And I'd heard about James McAvoy but there's no solid casting announcement (IMDB isn't very reliable). Sometimes fans add what they want to see ;)
