  2. Don Jonescu from writes: It's a shame that Shatner's recent buffoonery (sorry I mean self deprecating humour) has taken the shine off a pretty good career. It's also interesting that a role he rejected and couldn't wait to leave is responsible for that longevity. James T. Kirk is one of the classic iconic heroes. And I for one will remember that more than anything else.
  3. Bobby Bitman from Victoria, BC, Canada writes: All hail the only true Starship Enterprise captain!!! May His Billness's hairpiece be licensed out to those follicle-challenged, skirt-chasing men so they too can be like Kirk! Bow to his classic characters that enrich our lives! We should religiously practice the art of emphasizing EVERY other WORD we SPEAK and die the classic, Shakespearean way as Captain Kirk would demand it. Long live the Shat!
  4. Stude Ham from Outremont, Canada writes: This guy should lose 150 or more pounds. That way he'll look diferent than Raymond Burr as Ironsides.
  5. Luc Vigneault from Quebec City, Canada writes: William Shatner stealing all of the best scenes for himself? No kidding! I thought I've heard that all the 'Star Trek' crew was just like a family. Okay, sometimes it happens in a real family that brothers fight for their favourite toy. But I've always seen those Trekkers as an unique family. And to keep it together for such a long, long time, Paramount should have spent a lot of money (and they did!).
  6. hofner e2 from ns, Canada writes: 'Respected Shakespearian thespian'? That one really made me laugh. Could the author by any chance be refering to his butchering of a role in the early days of Stratford's theatre? Chris
