I haven't watched classic Trek in 20 years...but even so, one glance at that image, and I say "Oh, yeah...'Plato's Stepchildren.' Mediocre episode."

 

My adolescence was truly wasted.

William Shatner must have stones the size of two slightly smaller William Shatners. On Saturday, the 85-year-old musical genius made a statement at Las Vegas’ 15th annual official Star Trek convention that was pretty much guaranteed to make die-hard fans choke on their Romulan Ale.



“First of all, Star Wars created Star Trek. You know that?” offered Shatner to the crowd according to a CNN report. Considering that the original series predates Star Wars by over a decade and Captain Kirk’s making this declaration on Trek turf, this assessment reads as borderline sacrilege. It’s a bit like going to a Kim & Kanye meet-n-greet and hearing Kanye say Taylor Swift made him famous. Bricks were presumably sh*t.

I do not see what the complaint is? Did they have a drug testing clause in the appearance contract? No so they got what they deserved.

 

Once again we see how clicks and hits are framing "news". They take the most outlandish cut on the interview and they make that the object of it to generate interest. Shaftner said nothing new - the success of Star Wars got Paramount Studios to pull Star Trek out of mothballs and rush to make a movie. What WAS left out by Shaftner was they were working on new Star Trek TV series WITHOUT him "Star Trek Phase II" and some of that went into movie so it was already being worked on pre-Shaftner, per Star Wars.

How the eff are they pulling in 40.0 and 1,000,000 slaps?

 

Who is this King Convoy dude getting that high score? Is it you Beerball?

 

:-P

 

Probably using an auto-clicker.
