Honestly, I think he was chosen for his chemistry with Quinto (since I believe Quinto was one of the first actors cast). With that in mind, I can see why they went with Pine -- those two are great together during interviews. I'd even hazard to say it's more entertaining than the film and I know a number of Trek fans who are more excited for the interview circuit than the actual third reboot movie.

Too bad they wrote Spock and Kirk's friendship so horribly in the reboot then...

*Sigh*

It just kills me because there are moments of genuine emotional connection sometimes, but they're always undermined by the writers relying too much on what's come before or destiny or making references to past films.

Moments where Kirk listens to Spock after he raises objections to killing Harrison or when Kirk admits that Spock is the one the Enterprise needs right now -- those are actually good and build their characters.

But Spock screaming "Khan!" just isn't and the writers seem to take it for granted ALL the time that the audience is just going to believe it because it's "supposed" to be that way.

Agreed. References don't make for good writing, the writing itself actually has to be good.

I think that "KHAAAAAN!" moment was supposed to be touching? Like Spock's death scene was in the original, right?

But it was so self-consciously self-referential at this point that it's pure camp, and when I saw it opening night, most of the theater burst out laughing. Totally killed any gravity that scene might have had.

Yeah, the Khan scream was just…WTF were they thinking?

And I could tell that Pine and Quinto were trying their damnedest to sell that scene too but then the Khan scream shits all over it.

It's absolutely ridiculously and it's a perfect example of the writers screwing over the story so that they can include this stupidity.

Urgh...
