Denise de Arman "VulcanSoul#38 & #40 - Why are you calling Shat “a joke” and “an aging attention whore”? Where did the intense dislike and need for venom-spewing come from?" Thank you for calling them on that. I'd prefer they change their posting name to something more accurate like "Hates Shatner and Everyone Who Likes Shatner" or better still, quit posting here. Such ugliness. Reminds me of what Kirk said to the blind telepath Dr. Miranda Jones (TOS ep "Is There In Truth No Beauty?") when he realized how jealous she was of Spock being able to mindmeld with Kollos - - "With my words I'll make you see such ugliness..." - - wanting to force her to see her own "ugliness" of spirit. I seem to recall the terminology used in the comment before ('attention whore'). It seems that whoever it is lies in wait for the Shatner articles then attacks. Hopefully Anthony will see that soon... Okay - - got off topic a tad there. Sorry. It will be interesting to see what a comedy film directed by William Shatner will look like. Hopefully it isn't too silly. He has a great sense of humour but sometimes he pushes it a bit. On Oprah he said he had the hip replacement while waiting backstage for her to change her clothes. Hilarious. I envy his love for life. Re: #65. Doug I totally agree!! Goodnight. kg Re: #49. Denise de Arman

Hey, British Naval Dude. Thanks for mentioning WFB. Arguably the single most influential human of the last 50 years. (that ought to start an argument!) His personal graciousness was even more formidable than his vocabulary. Long live the Shat. At least long enough to appear in the sequel. #19 I agree Randall, well written.

I have no idea whether it will be good or not, I just grow less and less interested in the non-Star Trek exploits of whoever, even Mr. Shatner. re: 58 Harry Ballz – March 3, 2008

Do you remember the way Generations ended? How proud you were to see him go like that??? Shatner returning as Kirk would only put a blemish on that great ending.

Seriously, I still love the guy... He's funny, and I honestly think he's a lot smarter than many give him credit for. I'll give any film or show he's in a shot. These days at least. T.J. Hooker and Rescue 911 were never my thing. :-) I've stated many times that I'm not looking forward to the new Trek movie (though I harbor no ill will to those who are looking forward to it)... But I honestly think I might not be so dead against it if they could figure out a way to get Shatner involved. He doesn't look any worse for his age than Nimoy really, and I think a lot of people (me, for one) would love to see Shatner and Nimoy together on the big screen as Kirk & Spock one last time. I'm still not keen on seeing other people play the original crew (Just my opinion, YMMV), but to see the REAL Kirk and Spock again I'd give the movie a chance. You go Bill!
