Hemsworth To Host SNL

1. > Chris Hemsworth, best-known to Trek fans for his role of George Kirk in Star Trek (2009),

   No. I dare say Trek fans, like the general population, know him best for his role as Thor.

   I *really* wish TrekToday would stop referring to well-established actors as nothing more than the tiny roles they played on a Trek episode or movie. I’m not denying they played a part of Trek’s history, but to say they’re “best known to Trek fans as [XYZ]” comes across as disingenuous at best. Like Cumberbatch being known for his role as Khan. Sorry, that is *not* what he’s going to be remembered for.

   Not saying it’s incorrect. It just sounds lame. It makes Trek fans look like they live in a bubble where nothing exists outside of Trek.

2. Could not agree more…

3. About trek fans living in a bubble or that Chris Hemsworth is better known as Thor?

4. Best known to TREK fans. His best-known role elsewhere would be Thor, but Trek-only fans would know him as George Kirk.

5. P.S. It’s a TREK news site. We focus on Trek news, hence the emphasis on an actor’s Trek work. If we were general sci-fi, it would be different.

6. Just drop the word “best” and everybody wins. 🙂

7. And Trek-only fans would point out that George Kirk could whip Thor in a fight, hands down.

8. I suppose I could do that. Never know what gets people in a tizzy though, LOL. Wouldn’t have even made it over my fan radar.

9. I’m no fan of JJTrek, but even I know him from the opening of ST09, before I’d know him as Thor (I’m no fan of the Marvel films, other than Spiderman 2 w/Doc Ock).
