For what I think you said… are you assuming it’s JJ and the production team keeping Shatner out? It can be the other way around with Shatner having money or other issues. It’s been known to happen. For what I’ve read, JJ and Co. seem to have plenty of respect for the Trek Universe.

is it just me , or did Nimoy look more like a crotchety old man in a AARP meeting than spock . at least bill has done other things besides star trek, Is there a little Shat envy going on here?

No, I wouldn’t, because I am not talking about this film’s success relying on one person, let alone one ANY one person. Surely, this movie can be a success without having one specific person in it, but it won’t have any impact, because this one person (together with the other one person, of course, who is already in the film) incarnates the true essence of TOS. In this context, it is not a matter of Shatner or no, or of any one person, but of showing respect or not to the universe you’re dealing with.

Shatner or no, this can be a very good movie and JJ and all associated will recieve credit if it is. It’s success relies on good acting, direction, story and editing, not solely on any one person.
Wouldn’t you agree?

I just thought I would throw my 2 pence worth in. Would it not be conceivable that Spock could have advanced Bendii Syndrome? Think about it. It’s kind of like a Vulcan version of Alsheimers.

Granted, it affects the emotions and psychic abilities of the afflicted, so why can’t it also make them halluncinate. Spock on his deathbed in his final throws of suffering from the disease is recounting his exploits. Why can’t he drift in and out and think that, at times, he is speaking to Kirk himself. a very simple ploy to have a substantial cameo role for the Shat.

I haven’t seen this suggestion anywhere else on the net. How bloody simple would it be to come up with a simple idea.

Thank you very much for your honest and respectful statement to which I agree almost entirely.

Facing death is indeed a legit emotion that people might feel in real life, but there are other emotions like hope and believing in the assumed impossible which may be even more important when dealing with the final frontier.

And if you say that you do not think that bringing back Kirk in a similar way to Spock would do any good, I also agree. Let them find a creative way, a satisfactory way, an equally emotional but adequate way, by no means a “fanboy wankery”.

If we do not credit JJ Abrams with being able to find such a coherent solution, then there is not much left we can credit him with…

Hey Anthony, what’s all this about Shatner not being in the film?
