Abrams’ new Star Trek film, while William Shatner has not… an arrangement that Shatner is none too pleased about. It is a bit unclear whether or not Shatner had actually been approached to make an appearance as Captain Kirk in the flick, but he has been vocal about his disapproval, saying that he would be “reluctant to do something that had so little value as to be a cameo”, and that the choice to leave him out of a major role is a “foolish business decision on their part”. Well, now he’s going to be twice as pissed because it appears that George Takei will be reprising his role as Sulu in the film as well. According to Starburst magazine, Takei was asked to appear in a flash-forward scene involving his character and Spock.

And since you died in that one, its not possible! :( dude, you’re too old to play a young kirk! we love ya but come on. you got to be in Generations, isn’t that enough?

If we get to see Shatner and Nimoy together one last time, they will not regret including the Shat when the box office receipts start rolling in!

This strike could outlast shooting, causing complications even if an agreement with Shatner is reached.

Only you can decide by watching them for yourself.

I’m in the minority in that I enjoyed most but not all of Enterprise. Hated DS9 and Voyager.

That being said, if Shatner is rude to his fans, all about himself, etc., well, I could care less. My problem with him, is IFFF he was offered a cameo role that would have made it so that the CHARACTER of Kirk didnt die that terrible death- which he agreed to- then I would lose respect for him. I dont care what he thinks of me, or his fans, but anyone who could create such an iconic character and then show to have such little respect for that character- which I have come to love- well, to be quite honest, F him- sorry anthony. Now we dont know what happened behind the scenes so the jury is still out. I am fond of Shatner and think of him as the Hulk Hogan of Star Trek- sounds silly I know, but the similarities are endless: 1. Both are credited with building their particular franchise (Star Trek, WWF) 2. Fans seem to either love them, or hate them 3. The fans that love them, love them for the same reasons (He started it all, put in great performances, grew up watching them, nostalgia, etc.) 4. The fans that hate them, hate them for the same reasons (They are said to be greedy, only out for themself, manipulative, money hungry, etc.) Sounds silly, but as a big wrestling fan, I see and have seen the SAME things said on wrestling boards and chats about Hogan. Seemed like this thread has died, so I just thought id offer that observation :) Also, to whoever is reading this, I have a general Trek question. I am a big fan of TOS, own all the movies and seasons. I am a moderate fan of TNG and plan on getting the entire series. That being said, for whatever reason, when DS9 aired I never watched it. I have also never seen any eps. of voyager or enterprise... my question: Would a major TOS and moderate TNG fan enjoy those shows? From reading these boards it would see I might like DS9 but probably hate voyager and enterprise.
