Winona Ryder

I for one, love Winona Ryder, but I don’t think J.J. Abrams needs to be messing with Trek history either.

For Winona Ryder, it’s a fine line between pixie-like and Vulcanesque.

The actress has become the latest boldface name attached to J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated reboot of the Star Trek franchise, signing on to star as mother to a young Spock.

Variety reports the erstwhile Heathers star will play the Vulcan mother of the Starfleet logician, sending Trekkers into a tizzy. Abrams is messing with a key element of the Star Trek canon: In all previous installments of the franchise, Spock’s mother was human, not Vulcan (the pointy ears come courtesy of his father’s side of the family).

“I’m not a Winona hater…but Spock’s mom isn’t Vulcan, isn’t brunette, and isn’t the type that Winona is good at,” a user going by the name Toroth’s 1st Officer posted in response to the announcement on a thread entitled “What the F—!” on TrekWeb.com.
