I agree Steve.....really enjoyed the character casting - so much like the originals only younger. James T. Kirk in particular....the way Chris Pine sat in the captain's chair - his demeanor....EXACTLY like the original Kirk!
FYI: The writers tried to find a way to use the elder Captain Kirk but ultimately were not comfortable in any of their ideas because of concern over it appearing 'gimmicky'.
Both actors however did get to meet and even have an arm wrestling match!
