Mr. Donald Faison has recently been a guest on the late night show Conan, and has has some rather bold remarks to jab at the entire Star Trek fandom - especially those who are most interested in TOS.
Faison as Doctor Chris Turk in ScrubsThe two-time BET Comedy Award-winning actor has risen to fame through his acting in the medical comedy-drama Scrubs. Faison plays the role of Christopher Duncan Turk, the Chief of Surgery at the Sacred Heart Hospital, where the series takes place.
Faison mostly compared Star Trek to Star Wars. “ Star Wars had all of this action, and these fantasies... [Star Trek] is kinda lame, ” he said, before comparing the two series' action scenes. “ The Millenium Falcon did all of these spins and everything, and the starship Enterprise just went straight! ” He proceeded to label everything as 'slow,' before showing a clip from the iconic Kirk versus Gorn battle. Faison commented on the video; “ Of course Kirk is going to look like a badass, the [Gorn] is swingin' like this the whole time, ” making slow punching motions for emphasis.
It makes you wonder, has he seen any of the grandiose space battles that are some of the most recognized in the industry for their technical expertise in CGI and model coordination and design? And lets be real - who would rather watch an episode of Scrubs than the glorious battle between Kirk and Gorn?
Something makes me think Mr. Faison hasn't seen anything to do with the Dominion...
