Hope this meets with your approval. It was getting a bit full on the other thread so we've extended and now need to decorate the new space.

For the walls.

Thank god we can see his face [phew] Grin

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 18:08

SQUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you exexpat! Thank you! I think I with many others said he might play a baddie who was connected to Star Fleet. No prosthetics to hide him! And he's able to overcome the Vulcan Death Grip!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!

CaveMum · 24/02/2012 18:09

[whispers] I think Prey got a bit excited there Wink

exexpat · 24/02/2012 18:11

Grin I'm not a Trekkie by any stretch of the imagination, but I might just have to go and see this one.

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 18:20

What gave it away? Grin

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! He can fight against the Vulcan Death Grip! That means he's probably super evil.

CaveMum · 24/02/2012 18:25

Oooo, super-evil-Benny Grin

Does that mean we get "bad cop"?! Wink

Only 15 months to wait (May 2013 release) Hmm. Hopefully we'll have had Series 3 of Sherlock by then. At least I hope so!

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 18:37

And fight scenes. Don't forget the fight scenes!

So, to recap. Super evil villain, undoubtedly vair posh, doing fight scenes (with Zachary Quinto who isn't bad himself), and can fight against the Vulcan Death Grip. Wonder if he's part Vulcan.

Put all that together and you get Fuck Me.

May 2013.

Is it May 2013 yet?

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 18:48

This has a bit more information about who the character/type of character might be.

I'm off to find some Star Trek fan sites. There might be a couple on t'interweb!

Ooooh! BC in Starfleet uniform. Thank you thank you!

DesperateHousewife21 · 24/02/2012 19:10

Wow he looks hot there and I usually loathe star trek et al.

DH might be able to convince me to go see this one!

IAmSherlocked · 24/02/2012 19:11

How the hell do I explain sudden interest in Star Trek to DH??

CaveMum · 24/02/2012 19:14

Desperate, I'm not really a Star Trek/Wars fan but I gave to admit I enjoyed the reboot. The cast is very good, just enough similarities to the original cast.

If you can, watch the first one at some point, it'll mean you're familiar with the characters when you go to drool over BC see the new one.

[looks at watch impatiently]

You know we have to wait till December 2013 for BC in The Hobbit Part 2 Shock

That's faaaaaarrrr too long!

CaveMum · 24/02/2012 19:16

Sherlocked, claim the first one was sent to you by LoveFilm in error, but you guess you'll watch it now it's here Wink Then you can tell him you actually quite liked it and will consider seeing the next one in the cinema.

Grin
LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 19:27

Saw the Star Trek reboot at the cinema and it was brilliant! Made DH watch it when it came on Sky and he enjoyed it too.

There's going to be a massive lust-fuelled MN explosion in December this year. Just noticed that Richard Armitage is in The Hobbit too!

OP posts:
Fluffymonster · 24/02/2012 19:44

Aiden Turner is in The Hobbit as well. He was Mitchell in Being Human. Mmm hmm.

But I was going to see the Hobbit anyway as I loved LOTR. It's the best icing on the cake ever - having a truckload of British totty/talent in it too, AND BC who is in a class of his own.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 24/02/2012 19:45

Aidan Turner. Ding dong.

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 19:54

Do you remember that bit in Being Human when Mitchell and Annie sort of had a thing going and he brought a woman home for sex so that Annie could somehow be with him? There was a bit during that scene where he was on top of the woman and he sort of moved up a bit and bent his head down towards her at the same time. That made me whimper a little but. Grin

He's not BC's league but he sure is purty.

SurferRosa · 24/02/2012 20:38

After seeing those pictures I've got to work out how I'm going to see Star Trek too. I've always scoffed at them and DH and DD would laugh in my face if I suggested it. Villain BC in close-fitting spacewear - I have to see it.

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 22:23

Wonder if he'll get to handle a big weapon?

Again.

OP posts:
exexpat · 24/02/2012 23:22

There are lots more of the Star Trek pictures popping up on twitter - eg these ones and these ones.

BTW, anyone on this thread who isn't on twitter might want to sign up just to follow @romangirl88, @sherlockology, @cumberbitches, @cumberbatch_fan and @cumberbatchweb. Sadly BC himself isn't on there, though imitators do keep popping up.

LetUsPrey · 24/02/2012 23:32

I can control the excitement. I can. I can.

I really can't. SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Did you see the one of him with his back to the camera? Fuck me, that man has a fantastic arse.

The tightly fitting clothes. And all the fighting. And the tightly fitting clothes. And being super evil and powerful enough to overcome the Vulcan Death Grip. And the tightly fitting clothes.

May 2013 - are we nearly there yet?

OP posts:
exexpat · 25/02/2012 00:38

Um... nearly...

Was it this one you meant, Prey?

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 25/02/2012 06:53

blue suit = happy sigh :)

Loving star trek Grin

DesperateHousewife21 · 25/02/2012 08:16

Those fighting picks are so sexy. He does indeed have a perfect arse.
ooooh Wink
