- MaxMWood, on 12/20/2007, -0/+17People often ask me.. Shatner, how do you fire bolts of lightning from your hands?
- reddave, on 12/20/2007, -0/+14the comments on that post are great:
Davids says:
..are you kidding me? You JUST ruined one of the best aspects of star trek for me. The hell…I didn’t know kirk died and you ruined it…try to put spoiler tags or something on your articles when you do this :
MarrowMan says:
Are you serious? spoiler tags for a nearly 14 year old film??? Why not put up spoiler tags for Citizen Kane while you’re at it! It was his sled!
Kane says:
That’s great. I was going to watch that some[time].
Davids says:
HIS ***** SLED? aww you dick >:( - blankhorizons, on 12/20/2007, -0/+10His name is Leonard Nimoy.
- Homerr, on 12/20/2007, -0/+9I can't read this article because of how awesome Shatner is.
- Tomboys, on 12/20/2007, -1/+10Cool! I was just listening to Spock on a radio interviews and he said that Shatner wasn't going to be in it. I love Shatner!
- Seacor, on 12/20/2007, -0/+7Ugh... I hate links to blogs to blogs with a snippet of the original source. Here is the Source with more details here:

- sanman, on 12/20/2007, -0/+6His consciousness will uploaded onto a flash drive, which Spock keeps in his pocket to talk to at night.
- Kronos6948, on 12/20/2007, -0/+6I think Shatner and Nimoy should do a musical tour, where everyone gets to hear "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" and "Rocket man" together.
- mikelieman, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4Brannon Braga and Rick Berman destroyed the franchise... TNG was close enough to TOS to need to "Not Suck" ( although there were moments there... ) but as we see from this graph, the suckage increased in direct relation to the ***** particle density...
- phixed, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4I'm still waiting for him to come back to Iron Chef.
- jedijc, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3Although I love him as Kirk, Shatner's best character is Denny Crain; he is so funny. What a character!
- fnaqzna, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3Mad cow!
- Aard88, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3When Denny Crane opens up his RAZR it does the Star Trek communicator opening sound.
- eberts, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3There is no way Shatner will NOT be in this film. There's about 42 reasons he will be in this film, including:
1. Abrams loves to do a reverse on the audience with a big reveal that the end. See every episode of Lost for reference.
2. Except for Star Trek: First Contact, every non-Kirk film has flopped. With him, only ST:V did poorly.
3. Shatner does an interview on his site where he sounds hurt that they didn't put him in the film. This was a misdirection and the negative press of Shatner being hurt made the studios have him produce a second interview where he backtracks and says that the film will be great with or without him.
4.-42 - He's Captain ***** Kirk. - sfacets, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3Denny Crane: Capitain again.
- terribly1, on 12/20/2007, -0/+3He'll play a shaman.
- tmpuser, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2Sticklers for their canon, eh?
Isn't the first rule of writing and story-telling to have a *contiguous* plot? You know, one where each chapter of the story make *sense?* If you're going to tell a story, the bare minimum requirement is that each section fit together!
There's almost 500 years time covered by the whole Trek story line. Of that, we've only seen fifty tops. That's 450 years to be creative.
Oh, right. This is Hollywood. Who said anything about being creative? - dxgg, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Let this be a lesson, kiddies. Whine enough to the right people, and you really *will* get your way.
- Battleloser, on 12/20/2007, -1/+3Oh my...
- jizzlies, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2None of this will matter if they don't solve the writers strike - yet another consequence that makes me wish it was over!

- glory, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2Spock: "It's life, Jim... but not as we know it, not as we know it."
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2when did he EVER say that?
- brstilson, on 12/20/2007, -0/+2Hopefully they don't do something really ***** predictable like cast him as Kirk's grandfather or something.
- blankoboy, on 12/20/2007, -1/+3Why do we need cameos from any of the old cast? This is a fresh start....forget the throwback to the old cast brought one simply for a novelty. It cheapens the whole experience. I say no Nimoy or Shatner....this is a chance to clean the slate. Now, make it so.

- Thex1138, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...
Or the one.
I have been, and always shall be ! Kirk ! - inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+1I beleive this reboot is doomed to load a BSD with a huge core dump........
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Beam me out of here, Scotty!
- tewcewl, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1I'm very confused to why they're worried about canon if this is a Star Trek reboot. For example, the upcoming Dark Knight has Heath Ledger as the Joker and if Jack Nicholson had a cameo role as something, no one would complain about continuity as the Batman franchise has been rebooted. Am I mistaken in this?
- tao52nyc, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1If Orci insists on following "the canon" then he better start reading the hundreds of book titles that have been published over the last 2-3 decades, including one that came out a decade or so ago called "The Return" written by Shatner himself. There have been about 10 books written since then, with Captain Kirk resurrected, alive and well, and having adventures in the late 24th Century, along with Spock, Scotty, and a 156-year-old "Bones". "The canon" lives with those hundreds of novels, not 10 films.
On the contrary, it was Rick Berman who broke with the established canon when he made "First Contact". He established the Zephram Cochrane character as a crazy drunk living in a camp near an old missile silo in Montana. A book published a couple of years earlier titled "Federation" tells a completely different - and more compelling - story. Berman messed that up for everybody. So Abrams has a lot more leeway than he realizes where Shatner is concerned. - jogleby, on 12/20/2007, -1/+2He is the Shat.
- antdude, on 12/20/2007, -1/+2He won't live forever. Just let him be in the movies as cameos.
- allaboutdatiki, on 12/20/2007, -1/+2The plot twist will include Kirk going back in time to 1967, when a reasonable facsimile of Shatner's current physique appears as a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon-Kirk. Shatner's the Man ... just don't let him sing ...

- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1If...only there were millions of people who were trek addicts, that knew how to come up with original ideas and could even TYPE... whoa...we wouldnt even need writers...
- FutureEng, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Bil-bo! Rock-
Bil-bo! et
Bilbo Baggins... Man! - MikeonTV, on 12/20/2007, -2/+3If you haven't already (at least) penciled in the greatest sci-fi character of all time then it tells me that the script is not completed. How can I look forward to a Star Trek film that is not at the top of its game?
- stfucupcake, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1the fat Shat
- blankoboy, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Better yet Peter Jackson could re-cast the roles of Bilbo (Ian Holm) and Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellan) to William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy respectively for the upcoming 2 Hobbit films. That'd be gastastic! lol.
- GunnerMcGrath, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Is the magazine writer's strike in effect as well? because whoever wrote this error filled pile of drek certainly can't be a professional...
- LinuxGalore, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Yeah, Shatner will have to get some serious liposuction before he gets the job.
- childprey, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1I can't get behind that.
- StarlessKnight, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1They feel they can't revive Star Trek without literally using the TOS formula. They tried it in Enterprise, they're trying it in the movies. Somehow "new" just isn't possible in their minds.
- solid12345, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1Apparently the Shat is also an ass and doesn't sign autographs.
http://www.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUSN143 ... - Bluetar, on 12/21/2007, -0/+0Shatner should be in the film just out of respect. Not sure how they would do it...maybe a flashback. Here's the latest on McCoy and Nimoy...too bad it's in television. http://digg.com/television/Karl_Urban_Talks_Comanc ...
