Good thing she was out in the middle of nowhere so most people never saw it.

    Dude was 34-35ish playing someone 10 years younger. He gave a decent performance, but sorely miscast.

      Closer to 15 years younger unfortunately since Matelas insisted that it was still 2501. The makeup and cinematography unfortunately made him look closer to 40 at times. UHD can be very unforgiving but EPs casting are in denial.

      Speleers has made public that he read for the part of Jim Kirk for SNW, and I can really see how that would have worked.

        Bear in mind, this was aired in 2006.
