I don't care about Shatner. Zach Quinto is going to be playing Spock. First solidly good (or even decent) thing I've heard about this, but hey. it's good enough to make me watch.
Mmmmm, Zach...
EDIT: I fail at listing sources. Here it is. Just ignore the fact that it's on MTV; I read it at MA and googled for an article.

I don't know. Sure, he's good at creepy, but I didn't think much of that episode with Sylar's mom, and that was the one episode requiring more than creepiness from him. Though maybe it was his mom that was the problem. Anyway, it just didn't work for me, and that was the most Quinto-heavy episode.

Well, he is already familiar with a character that does "Mind Meld" of a sort. I see this turning into a Spock's Angst portrayal.

The "Sylar's mum episode" was out of character for the whole series, really. I remember at the time it was broadcast nobody knew what to make of it, so I wouldn't blame Quinto's performance. I think it's just that up until that point Sylar had been a fairly one dimensional character who wanted "more powaaarrr!!" Introducing his mother showed more depth to the psychosis, but in quite a forced, twenty-episodes-into-the-series kinda way.
Anyway, I'm glad he's Spock. He's got an intensity and mysteriousness to him that an actor needs to play the role.

I just hope that, with Nimoy and possibly Shatner in it, they'll have them as one-off cameos to a distant relative and not a 23rd Century Spock and Kirk reminiscing on past adventures.

Reality check? You do not coax Leonard Nimoy back to Trek and have him playing anyone but Spock. He'll be looking back on his life, or something. Hence the suggestion they'll also have Shatner if they can find a place for him - the fact that canonically he's dead, and physically he's not really capable of passing for a pre-Generations Kirk, makes that difficult.

A while I remember reading an article about Quinto wanting to be Spock and they photoshopped an image of him looking like a vulcan. I thought it looked good.

Physcially, no, but digitally, yes. Those direct TV Star Trek VI commertials were pretty good.
