Yeah, well, I guess it's mutual. We are kind of tired of his "odorous gas", too. Face it, Shatner isn't a SciFi fan or even a Star Trek fan ... never was. If there's one thing ST-TOS (first season) shows us, it's that Shatner was a good actor. But to him it was just another gig. The fans adore Captain Kirk, his uprightness and stalwartness. Bill Shatner just looks and sounds like Kirk, when some tells him what to say and how to say it. :) Shatner tired of taking Trek? Yeah, well, I guess it’s mutual.

It's a ploy by Shatner to hype up the fans to give him leverage.

And off course CGI is bad for actors, but it would be cool to see a young Shatner-Kirk in CGI. This would make him immortal! I`m sure the creative deficites of "CGI acting" will be solved in the future. Maybe Bill could write down some rules, how Kirk reacts in specific situations.

He's simply being himself, having fun at the expense of Trek nerds who hang on every word that comes out of any actor associated with Trek, especially the Big Two. Just enjoy Shatner for who and what he is -- Shatner -- and let us all anticipate Star Trek XI with or without Shatner for better or for worse.
