I call him Jim Carey Kirk. Am I wrong?

  Nope, Wesley’s resemblance to Jim Carrey’s Kirk (from In Living Color, for those too young to know the reference) was the first thing I thought about too. Fortunately Wesley is doing a fantastic job making the Kirk role his own.

    Absolutely. I think he's great. I just keep expecting a joke or silly face.

    Yeah I definitely see it after watching the Wrath of Farrakhan sketch.

    The next video was this, and I must now share it to purge it from my nightmares.

  They should never have brought James Kirk into this series.

    Disagree, although I do think they've overused him. His appearance in an alternate timeline future at the end of season 1 was a nice idea to nod to Kirk's role in the prime timeline version of those events. But bringing him back again twice more in the first six episodes of season 2 has made him feel less like a cameo and more like he's becoming part of the main cast.

    Lost in Translation - where he interacted with many members of the Enterprise crew (as opposed to just Pike or just La'an, and both times via timeline shenanigans) - felt particularly egregious. Although I did enjoy the episode.

      I like it, I like how they’re trickling in TOS (2nd pilot) characters and filling in the blanks between the two TOS pilots.

  I’ve been seeing him as a Bruce Cambell hybrid

  Maybe it’s the jawline

  Shit. Can’t unsee it.

  Cast this guy as a Jim Carrey in the past or his son pronto.

  Every single time I see him show up! Dude looks way more like Carrey than he looks like Shatner.

  Yes. Every time I see someone make this comparison, which is unsettlingly often, I think it’s absolutely insane.

  You are not. First thing I thought.

  Absolutely not. I have nothing against the actor but yeah. Jim Carey every time.

  I had the same first reaction and just thought, huh art imitating art, we’ve come full circle.
