I think the whole joke is that, number one, Takei was a much better Sulu, and number two, she can’t keep her Star Trek characters straight. Still, she needs even more punishment.
You see? We can get lots of comments first thing int he morning by making mistakes! Anyway, tomorrow you may understand why my head was in a fog concerning names.
I guess no comment is necessary then. Oh wait, I commented. Love the strip, I’ll hold off on the Jedi mind trick for this little oops. Can’t wait to see tomorrow now.
Wouldn’t it be funny though to see George Takai in the Spock role? I can hear the conversation now,….Captain: “Hey Spock, you and Uhura should hook up”. .Takai as Spock: “Highly illogical, Captain”.
Perhaps the original dialogue regarded Quinto vs. Nimoy (like Sheldon was debating in a recent BBT), and “Spock” was passed over when they decided to change it?
Trekkies. Sigh. The worst part is that the best actor on the original show was…
Oh, wait. None of them could act. My bad. Nimoy (Spock) was at least supposed to act like a wooden cigar store statue. The rest of them have no excuse.
Yep, record of number of comments to tell us about the little slip up in Star Trek cast names. At least we know lots of people are reading!! If only we could send the strip through all these proofreaders before it runs, these errors wouldn’t get by!
Neither John Cho nor George Takei played Spock. It was Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy. I hope this was only supposed to show how lame Roy is regarding Star Trek trivia.
They had it right in Monday’s strip, but got it ohh so wrong in Tuesday’s strip. Roy needs to face his own Jedi Mind Trick for getting it wrong. Can’t wait to see Wednesday’s strip to see if they fix it.
I’m waiting for the day Kathy tells him they’re expecting and his room full of star trek/wars toys have to go in the dumpster to make room for a nursery. Oh that’s right that would involve interacting with a real person, something he wouldn’t understand

was it on purpose that the roll was miss identified? Spock was never played by either actor!
Olddog1 almost 13 years ago
Well, in yesterday’s strip SHE said Sulu, Not Spock

Or maybe these guys are like some of the actors on The Big Bang Theory. They aren’t really geeks. o_O

Here I thought George Takei played Sulu. I’ve never seen the new movie, doubt I ever will.

Didn’t she say that he was a better Sulu? Leonard Nimoy played Spock, not George Takei. Oh wait, my geekieness just showed by catching that. :-)
johnzakour Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Well I would like to say that this was a test to see who was paying attention….but it wasn’t. It was a typo. :(
johnzakour Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Of course it is possible that Roy is snapping for abusing the Jedi mind trick… But no….

Damn it Jim it was Sulu not Spock

@carlmiNew movie was great! Sort of a prequel to TOS, and involving yet another change to the time line.

Better Spock? Roy should do the chicken dance for confusing Spock with Sulu

Like every other Trekker, I caught the mistake the second I saw it too. Geek cred for Zakour and Roberts took a hit here.
johnzakour Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Our typing cred is what really should be taking a hit. I wish we could blame this on auto correct.
