Both times I've seen the movies, I've been struck by just how well-cast that kid is. He looks exactly like I imagine ZQ did at that age. Aw, his big pretty brown eyes.
Yes. And he looks so lost and sad, then so quietly turbulent. Amazing what big eyes can do for child actors!
I honestly don't know if it's a compliment to ZQ, the kid, or the director that they both had the same expressions when going for the throat in their respective fight scenes. When ZQ attacks Kirk, it's like Spock reverts instantly back to this 8 year old child, who has grown but has no more control on himself now than he did back then. It's an interesting path to take for his character, and the actors pull it off beautifully.
I had to do some serious color manipulation to make this giant blue stripe go away! It was hard.
But, that line from Coldplay's "The Scientist" is now burned into my brain as being meant for them: "I had to find you, tell you I need you. Tell you I set you apart."
