Ask William Shatner
At long last William Shatner has volunteered himself to be strapped into the Slashdot Interviewee Victim Chair. You know the gig: Post your questions for the man, the moderators do their thing, and in a week or so we post the answers. So here's your chance to ask questions to the star of Iron Chef USA, Miss Congeniality and TJ Hooker!
Do you think you take Patrick Stewart in a fight? =)
"Yeah, well, Dracula called and he's coming over tonight for you and I said okay."
Wil Wheaton asks William Shatner questions on SLASHDOT?! It'd be like... Slashdot: Generations! My head might explode!
...about being reponsible for the nickname 'captain' being given to all of us named Kirk in real life?
Who bagged more babes in the 60's, you or Roddenberry?
Table-ized A.I.
Did you get to keep any tribbles? Or did they just burn them?
Does Starship Command run Open Source? How about the Klingons? I think we need to know who we should be rooting for.

When you said on episode #18739 of Saturday Night Live: 'Get a life ... will ya, people? I mean, for cryin' out loud, it's just a TV show.', were you really reprising 'Evil Kirk' as Phil Hartman's (RIP) character suggested or did your motivation run deeper than that, say to 'Amok Time' when you had to battle Spock? ;)
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
when bare-chested?
Kirk
Pickard
Sisco
Janeway
Archer
We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.
Seriously who's idea was it to come up with the new-guy-in-the-red-shirt dies every time you, Bones, and Spock went to the surface?
Was it one of you guys or was it a writer? If so, which writer/writers was it?
Are you planning on releasing any new songs soon?
(Anyone ever heard him sing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?)
..how was the green chick?
Trolling is a art,
Did you really mean those things you said in that famous SNL skit?
It took several years of therapy to get over those horrible comments.
Mr. Shatner,
Do you ever look back on your show with regard to how your character treated women and find it offensive? Kirk boinked anything with 2 legs and a pretty face, often pursuing them in a cave man-like fashion.
And if you didn't find it offensive, do you think you're cursed to have been born way too early and not had your chance to lay the kirk-mack down on 7 of 9? Hell, cursed my ass, God singled you out for that heinous joke.
Finally, math books without any of that base 6 crap in them.

What was the locker combination in episode 25 after you left your quarters the last time and opened your safe?
Remember when you were elected weakest link by the rest of the Star Trek cast, and you put the moves on Anne Robinson? On the fineness scale of 1-10 where 1 is fine and 10 is supah-fine, where would you rate her?
What was your personal favorite episode of the Original Star Trek series and why?
Oh, please. He's probably been asked this question a billion times. He'll probably give you some bullsh*t answer just because he's sick of it.
How about: What was your favourite T.J. Hooker episode, and why?
(Yes... this is a joke.)
Accountability on the heads of the powerful.
Power in the hands of the accountable.
Ask him. Go on. I dare you. I double dare you.
Hey Bill,
Are we cool, or what? I mean, I always thought you didn't like me, but I had a good time with you at Weakest Link watching the World Series.
So are we cool, or was that just pre-game strategy?
Wil
...and seeing as how you are The Man, if you want one, you can have one. I'll even autograph it for you. ;-)
Which brings up the next question:
Would William Shatner appreciate a signed T-shirt from Wil Wheaton?
Would Wil Wheaton appreciate a signed T-shirt from William Shatner?
And if they were on Celebrety Boxing - who would win?
This is what I think about when I'm home alone and the TV is broken.
We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.
Shatner gets off an airplane and comments how he thought he saw something outside on the wing. Lithgow says Yeah, the same thing happened to him.
For that and much more, it was all around one of the best 3rd Rock episodes.
There is nothing so silly as other peoples traditions, and nothing so sacred as our own.
Do you use priceline.com to book all of your flights?
Or do you no longer fly due to the whole "There's something out on the wing!!" thing?
Was there really something? On. The. Wing?
Carthago delenda est!
There are a lot of rumors that NASA and the Russian space program have investigated this, but no one is talking on the record yet. For example, Newton's 3rd law- "for every action, a reaction" complicating movement in zero-G. You are the most famous libidous space-amn and must know the answer :-)
Star Trek made many wonder whether there was intelligent life in the universe. Did Rescue 911 ever make you wonder if there was intelligent life on this planet? A lot of the people on that show were rescued when they did some awfully dumb and dangerous things ...
