#also just got to the Leonard Nimoy moment and wept a little

I think putting the discovery in the future was the smartest thing the writers could have done BUT I wish the first 2 seasons were super TOS-y with all the cringe “””technology””” that would come with it and then do the stuff they’re doing now with the tech and effects

One of the main reasons why Karl Urban is such a great actor is his commitment to any role he's given.

In an interview for the role of McCoy for Star Trek, he explains how even got a dialect coach so he could mimic DeForest Kelley's Georgian accent.

For the first couple of [Star Trek] movies I worked with a dialect coach extensively. We looked at DeForest Kelley and that Georgian accent and he sort of toned it down a little bit when he came to Los Angeles to work. You can really hear it when his character Bones got angry. So, we studied that. For me it was about a feel, more than anything. It was tonal and it was feeling. There was irascibility, there was also compassion in the voice and I like to work from that rather than from the outside and try to mimic.

And he was so good as McCoy that Leonard Nimoy cried when he came on screen in the 1st movie:

Urban continued: “And I turned around and walked with them for a bit and she told me, she said, ‘Do you realise when Leonard saw the picture, the Star Trek, the first one that we did, and you came on screen, he wept.’ “And I was absolutely shocked and taken aback and what I realised was that there must have been elements of what I was doing that reminded him of his lovely friend, the late great DeForest Kelley. “So, to me, that was a moment I will never forget, but it was also, I think, the strongest pointer to me that what I was doing was on the right track.”

And I can go on and on why Karl Urban is the best Judge Dredd and how much I love him for doing justice to one of my favorite comic book characters but I'll just post this interview he had about playing Judge Dredd and an excerpt of my favorite part of the interview:

"Well, Dredd is a movie in many ways about extremes, but look. If you know the character of Dredd you know that A, he never takes his helmet off. B, he's an enigma. He is the faceless representative of the law. To me I just felt that I couldn't authentically do a Judge Dredd movie any other way."
