It's a dead heat for First Favorite between Karl Urban's absolutely perfect Bones and the incredibly genius casting of Simon Pegg as Scotty. Seriously they're both so so good i will never be over it. There's plenty about AOS for people to pick apart but the casting and the resultant acting are not among those things
I absolutely love the casting for the AOS movies because yeah Chris Pine kinda looks like a yassified Jim Kirk, and Zachary Quinto does look like a younger Spock. But then they looked at big, tall, broad shouldered, muscular action man Karl Urban and went. Yeah, I think he can play scrawny bean pole shrimp postured, looks like a light gust of wind would blow him away, Leonard McCoy. And by god, were they correct because it was like the spirit of Deforest Kelley himself possessed him to play Bones.
