I started going grey when I was about 22; does that get me a pass?
(Funnily enough, I started greying up almost overnight, it spread for some months, then just as suddenly stopped. So I still have places where my hair is my original mousy colouring - and I know you've all seen pics of such places in Area 69 - but where I went grey I'm now mostly silvery-white. For instance, my arms and legs, as well as fingers and toes, are still just as hairy as other people's, but it's all practically invisible unless you look really, really close. Yet as you all know, my chest etc is still dark (I was always my Sam's "big hairy gorilla"!), as is the hair at the back of my head. Work that one out!)

Actor's voices back in the 60's and before sounded so strong and bold. Voices now from almost all actors I see in today's media sound so raspy and weak. I don't know why.
Kirk gave interstellar philandering majestic nobility. Chris Pine crawls out from under Uhura's bed wearing nothing but 23rd century fruit of the looms.
The real Kirk is a dick with gravitas. The "reboot" a mere prick.
Absolutely agree. The original intention behind Star Trek in general and Kirk in particular was Horatio Hornblower in space. Nobody other than the Shat ever did that even remotely as well. It's no wonder that the Klingons never had a word for "fear" until they met Kirk, to cite the old joke.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
