Shatner May Return to Star Trek (Briefly?)
mfh writes "Apparently, William Shatner may return to Star Trek, after talks with studio executives for a cameo on the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise. Rick Berman did not disclose which role wants Shatner play, although I'm sure we'd all love to see Captain James Tiberius Kirk again, right?"
No.
I... don't know if... this... is a good... idea!

"I most likely AM so interested in myself."
How much would *you* pay to see him on Star Trek again?
although I'm sure we'd all love to see Captain James Tiberius Kirk again, right?"
As much as I'd like to see my grandma appear on new episodes of Baywatch...
Live in your skin. Keep changing the scenery.
I'm all for it, so long as he sits on a stool and sings some lame ass song about how to best go about finding inexpensive airfare.

Not with a little bit of magic we like to call 'lasy script writers'
In this episode we have post-Undescovered Country era Kirk, warped into the past via the TEMPERAL COLD WAR to tell Archer that, due to his interference, Kirk never commanded the Enterprise and is now the elderly butler of Chancelor Kelrongolumpha. We get to see touching moments like when Archer tells him to go to hell, thus condeming our former hero to a life serving in HomeEc- just one more change Archer's made in the future timeline.
Why bring back Kirk when you could bring back evil mirror kirk.
And quasi-evil goati wearing evil spock too!

> IMHO the new Star Trek, as of late, has fallen into an old formula that is fast making me lose interest. Bringing back James Kirk could breathe new life back into the series
Couldn't they just jump over sharks on waterskis instead?
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
"No, sir, he's really just 18 - distortions in the space-time continuum have made dashing young Kirk look old and chubby and act like a condescending travel spokesman."
> As Shatner is to Startrek as Bill Gates is to home computers.
A monocle and a persian cat away from being a James Bond villian?

Well, he needs the work since he was fired from Priceline.com.
The fact that he's found new work so quickly is a sure sign that the economy really is on the rebound...
Sharks with freakin laser beams!!!
Someone hates these cans.
My God, man! How can you say that about him after seeing his inspired acting on T. J. Hooker and the amazing hosting abilities displayed on Rescue 911! With such versatility, I would be surprised if he couldn't sing just as well, too!!!
That is all.

I liked Q better when he was short, green, and called the Great Gazoo.
My only political goal is to see to it that no political party achieves its goals.
What is this I am seeing?!?
We're talking about Star Trek and you're all complaining about the quality of the acting?!?
Ohhh the irony!!!
You're using her as bait, Master!
Or maybe a hemerhoid.
Infuriate left and right
You would know about the date revision in the ST universe to adjust for time lost due to early technology where people would still feel some slight effect from relativity. G'uh.
And yes, I did make that up just now.

Let's cast Lucas as an Ewok who gets sliced in half and falls into the lava during the lava surfing scene!

Here all the golden tones of startrek here.
Earlier tonight, my mother was mentioning that Bill Shatner would be supposedly appearing on a show she watched. Wasn't this, though.
:(
I mentioned that if anything could kill finally kill Enterprise, it should be that the crew go forward in time to meet a fat, old Kirk and wacky hijinks ensue.
I didn't know they were going to do it, I swear.
To appreciate a Star Trek show... one must forget that it is Star Trek. How Zen.
You say this as though there's something wrong with it.
Who needs a plot when you have decontamination scenes?
"Stupid! Stupid stupid stupid stupid! I touched the hot wire right there - I'm an idiot!"
I'd like to see him appear as an inter-galactic travelling jester of some sort - he certainly has the musical background to pull of someone warbling in Klingon.

Get all the cliche comments about his one liners and ham handed deliveries out of the way then look at the stuff he turned out. It is the best Sci Fi next to Dr. Who with Tom Baker. He was built for the shirtless scenes, interacted excellently on both dramatic levels (with Spock or Bones) and comedic levels (with Spock and Bones together)got to kiss green chicks with antenna and made you generally believe he was riding through space on a starship. He was even good in the movies, especially yelling "Kaaaaaahnnn!!!", and is hillarious when he appears on Howard Stern to listen to Sulu's interview from a week earlier where Sulu trashes Shatner! Oh my!
From what I've heard, most of the "canon" broken was never canon to begin with, and only implied in technical manuals, novels and so on.
Well you heard wrong.
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
"We were looking for a way to make the ratings soar So we orchestrated an encounter with the Borg Normally you'd think that that would get us into shit But this one has a smashing ass and a lovely set of tits"
Yeah, after Kirk dies in Generations he ends up in hell and his punishment is to quantum-leap into the final days of every Enteprise security office that every got toasted because of where the captain sent him.
:)
Noooooooooo!
...Rick Berman did not disclose which role wants Shatner play, although I'm sure...
Did Yoda get a job as a Slashdot editor when I wasn't paying attention?
At least he uses Linux.
