It wasn't just, "Oh, he reminds me of Aaron"--it was more like every time he came onscreen I went, "Oh, hi Aaron!" Weird.
But I still loved it. I'm usually not a fan of the timeline reset, especially when you're fucking with something I care about as much as ST:TOS, but this one really worked for me. (Except for Spock/Uhura, which didn't really work for me; Imma say that shit ( ... )

So I guess, between Bourne and Riddick, maybe I shouldn't have worried about Urban as much as I did. The thing that kept sticking my head for him was Comanche Moon, and he made me inSANE (in a bad way) in that movie to such a degree I just can't remember he's done anything else.
