More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek
Tycoon Guy writes "Is that the sound of desperation I hear? TrekToday is reporting that, according to a trailer shown at CBS Television City, William Shatner will be appearing on Star Trek: Enterprise for a two-episode guest stint - as James T. Kirk! The most likely writers of his episodes are Trek novelists Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, who already resurrected Kirk in their books, and were just hired as story editors for Enterprise's fourth season." We reported a rumor to this effect a couple of months back.
I know they're going with Kirk but wouldn't it be funny if he played the tyrant from Sea Quest DSV, instead of Kirk? Anyone who saw this episode will know what I mean... he was terrible in it with a fake accent and all the Shatner pomp and circumstance.
But seriously, I would much rather see Spock again.
The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.
I guess all that dot com stock for that travel company didn't pay off huh? Have to get back to his day job. Which I dont mind.
KHAAAAAN!!
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
Let's just all hope that Kirk doesn't go back to old habits, rip his shirt off, and fight a guy in a rubber suit...*shudders*

Or something equally as peposterous.
you can always fall back on guest appearances from characters from shows that had good writers.
This is just sad.
Kaaaaaahhhhnnnnnn!
"I have the attention span of a strobe lit goldfish, please get to the point quickly!"
Heh, I guess it's back to Star Trek after priceline kicked him out. Is Spock coming back as well?
and here's the link with the exclusive reason of why Shatner is returning for a guest appearance...
"Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true." - Homer Simpson
I wonder if shatner got paramount a good priceline price on the time warp to send Kirk back into the past.
jesus, way to ruin a good series..
i am sooo f-ing sick of time travel crap in trek..
And how do they work around the fact that he's now an old fart?
The sheer number of times he's suggested he'll never do any more Star Trek is starting to make me think he just says it to up the price he gets the next time he does it.

Now they just have to put McCoy on with him... "I'm dead, Jim."
Just so long as they also bring back the mini-skirted 1960s era women whose job was to have Kirk fall in love with them. And make sure that they have too much make-up on and for some reason get to hang around the bridge even though they don't work there.

Make your voice known, as hopefully a return will prevent him releasing any more terrible cover versions of good songs.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
Man, unless he's time-traveling back, it'll be damn hard to make him look like the feisty young thing of the '60s.
They'll have to slather him with makeup and airbrush half of him out of the frames.

Fact: Shatner is too old to play Kirk in the Enterprise timeline without some serious higgledy-piggledy with said timeline.

I'm looking forward to this. Why? Well, Enterprise isn't that bad. In fact, I quite enjoy watching it. Just take everything for face value and sit back. It can be pretty good when you give it a chance.
Next, we have William Shatner; one of the people who is now simply famous for being/playing himself (Christopher Walken, Adam West, Leonard Nimoy, Ron Jeremy, etc.)
I can see nothing bad coming from this. It could be really good and well written. Or, it could be cheesy, and I think I'd like it more in that case. Either way, between that and Corner Gas, I'm going to be quite entertained this season....
- Relativistic? That's barely Newtonian!
he'll try to save the day by using his old WebTV box (after the ship's computer have all crashed).
So Enterprise takes place, what a couple centuries before TOS, so somehow old fat Elvis^h^h^hKirk travels back in time to join the crew?
The lamest thing in Star Trek is the sloppy way they throw time travel in as a weak plot device to jam characters from the campy old 60s show into the modern ones. The TNG episodes with old timey characters: a 400 year old Bones, a Scotty who'd been stuck in a transporter beam for centuries, Spock - a vulcan who lives for centuries, shows up and even though physiologically he shouldnt be that much older, he looks like King Tut's corpse.
I guess it would be too much work to try and make Enterprise a genuinely interesting show. I'm sure the "James T Kirk appears on a very special Enterprise" promos will spike their ratings a point or two for the first half of the episode, then people tune out after realizing that the show just plain stinks.
Maybe Shatner will kill this crappy show. Perhaps Scott Bakula will mysteriously turn up floating face-down in a swimming pool.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Odds are he will be on, but as a ancestor much like Data will be on (playing his creators great great grandfather and one of the scientists who created Khan durring the eugenics war)
But if the recent word on whats going to take place this year holds true (Vulcan war created by the still unseen romulans which explains the vulcans additude the previous three seasons, end of the TCW storyline and a wrap up of last season, the eugenics war storyline involving tracking down the escaped scientist. more andorian storylines.. to name a few) then Enterprise might have finally recreated it's self as a preqel and not a revision.
"Slashdot, where telling the truth is overrated but lying is insightful."
How can expect that poor old man to save Enterprise when he couldn't even float Iron Chef USA? "Today's theme ingredient is... TIME TRAVEL"
This news just makes me wish there was another season of "Farscape" coming up. Or, hell, another season of ST:TNG.
Slightly off-topic, but people here seem to have loved "Firefly". I don't own a TV so I'm limited in what I can watch and I never saw any episodes, but could someone explain why they like it so much? If it sounds good, I'll download a few episodes and see for myself. The quest for non-crappy SF on TV is a slow one.
Oh, shit, you can fill in the blanks with your own imagination...
His most recent effort was that he submitted a song parody entry to the Howard Stern show, with a cover of Vinny's "Restless, Restless" song. He's also got a forthcoming album...and covers Pulp's "Common People" with Joe Jackson that you can listen to here: http://www.shoutfactory.com/av/common_people.mov As with anything Shatner...it is fantastic in its monotone delivery :)
It never would have occurred to me to send in an article from memepool, but there was an entry for this site just a few days ago.
Because, to borrow and change a quote:
They've done far worse than kill you. They've hurt you and they wish to go on hurting you. They shall leave you as you left Voyager, as you left Deep Space Nine, marooned. for all eternity in the center of a dead science fiction universe: buried alive (with your television set).

Maybe they can do the same thing they did for the guy in Lord of the Rings who played Gollum. Have Shatner on the set acting with all the other characters and then CGI an image of how he looked back in the 60's on top. Like a virtual face lift.
Since when has this country used intellectual elite as a pejorative term?

First, he was more interesting and more fun on The Practice as Denny Craine. The Enterprise should go back and meet Denny. Second, they should use the animated Kirk from the cartoon series. That Kirk was a better actor.
It's been a long time since I've actually groaned aloud from reading a slashdot headline. Eh, thanks I guess.
funny munging
From what I read on the rumor boards this is a tie-in with Priceline where Shatner has been frozen from the 20th century and will revived to deliver on travel pitches to the crew of the first enterprise. personally I am getting tired of shows sneaking in advertising into shows. We know it is impossible that Shatner cannot revive the role of Kirk. Current medical technology does not have a girdle yet can restrain Shatner's current explosive girth for him to play kirk. Also his hairpiece is currently in court suing of residuals from the TOS reruns.
Dear Mr. Shatner,
How can we miss you if you won't go away?
Best regards,
Everybody

Enterprise takes place before the origional Star Trek. Captin Kirk either wouldn't even be born, or would only be a small child. William Shatner is _old_ now. Is this just a ploy to get higher ratings?
Gene is rolling in his grave right now.
Don't get me wrong; I think Shatner has entered his period of self-parody very gracefully (the latest Priceline commercials are really cute). But to re-enter the role of Kirk means playing it straight, and I just don't think he can pull that off anymore.
But more importantly, I think it shows just how creatively bankrupt Star Trek has gotten under Berman's watch. I lost interest in DS9 at about season two, watched perhaps half a dozen episodes of Voyager, and saw Enterprise's pilot, but that's about it. Maybe I'm getting old and crochety, but there's just no sense of wonder there anymore.

I've given up Star Trek after the original series. The next generation never feels that much fascinating, even though the original series seem pretty much premature when compared to recent ones.
He's got to be in his 60s, right? I wonder what they would do if they made all these big announcements and suddenly his health took a bad turn? How do series deal with signing really old actors, anyway?
And sign me up for CGI kirk with Shatner doing the voice-overs. I don't think I have the stomach (or maybe he has too much of one) to see Bill jumping around the stage with a ripped shirt fighting some rubber lizard over a great-looking woman.
Heck -- just get rid of all of them except the great-looking women. We could do a new show, sort of a cross between Baywatch and Trek. Something like "Nebula-Watch"
That's the first thing I thought of when you mentioned Shatner. The second thing? Maybe they should have him do a TJ Hooker/Enterprise crossover.
They should have the Thermians involved to bring him back ;)

... his return will involve a wormhole, travelling back through time, the Borg, and a holodeck malfunction (er, after travelling *forward* through time first, of course).
Al Qaeda has ninjas!
I really think this qualifies as another classic example of an aging, former television personality not wanting to admit that is it over for them. I mean the Priceline adverts I can handle. But any attempt to rekindle his former glory as Cpt. Kirk should be met with some sort of stun ray from the infamous phasers.
There was an episode on one of the spin-off shows (Voyager?) wherein there was an organization similar to starfleet, but with the responsibility to keep the timeline clean. Maybe the next spin-off (Time Trek) should be about those guys. What, with all the time-travel as an explanation that seems to be occuring recently.

But, will he be able to do the trademark "take-25-seconds-to-succumb-to-heavy-stun" quiver and be taken almost as seriously as back then?
Well, Bones did warn him about that Romulan Ale. I suspect Julie Newmar's Romulan Subcommander had an effect on Krik, umm, Kirk. The normal timeline got an advanced clone, and the REAL Krik, umm, Kirk, got fat on Romulan equivalent of Balut/raw/underground eggs. Maybe the Romulans figured out how to supersize their version of ostrich eggs. Or, they could just blame it on 1960 makeup that made it into 2259 or so, which then got recirculated, contaminating the timeline... No, wait, he ATE the cloaking device and could't pass it so Kirk had to shit another. (Kirk's and Spock's cabin/transporter room secret secret...)
Maybe the Triskelions can appear and bring back that loin-wrappin' wrestler, complete with his and hers matching "collars of obedience". WOuld love to see "bill/billy/willie/shat" trying to keep up with such a wrestler... (Contorted) "Will-you-STOP-qui-ver-ing-like-THAT??? I-CAN'T--make-YOU-be-the-FIRST-to-alert-at-the -FIRST-pain!"

My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle...
Oh well, whatever small shred of credibility the star trek universe has left will only be amusing to Dr. Who fans...
Blame the Dalek+Borg conspiracy of 2929
Why on earth don't they do a series seen from a non earth perspective e.g. the Vulcan's (starting with
the split with Romulus?). Sigh. No, that would be too *deep* maybe?
(Or sack everybody, start with a fresh cast and give it to JMS...).
I mean seriously, William Shatner has parlayed a single television character into a career with incredible longevity that most actors would envy. If, thirty years from now I am still doing what I love for a living, maybe then I'll criticize him...
A couple of episodes of Kirk wouldn't mean that much for the franchise, and here's why:
Kirk wasn't the best captain. Piccard was. As a matter of fact, the original show was good not because of Kirk, but because of the chemistry of the crew: Bones (what kind of nickname is that anyway?) was an alcoholic. You can see that from the way his eyes were always watery. Scotty was probably the only one in his family that finished college, and the rest of the crew was great too.
The next generation had horrible, boring and pollitically correct crewmates, and a kickass captain. (Q and borg were good too)
(You'd better believe that when Piccard would say "Fire at Will!" I'd be the first one to unload a clip into that John Tesh-liking bearded wimp.)
Voyager had 7of9, DS9 had a story, and Enterprise has hmm... not sure yet.
So in conclusion, I believe that it's the characters and their chemistry that makes the show, not any one individual or the wacky situations they're put in. A couple of shots of Kirk are too little, too late.
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
Ya' know, everytime I sit down and watch this, I think "Well, it can't be worse than the last one I watched." And everytime, without fail, I am pleasantly surprised.
Ads are broken.
For the love of all that is holy, LET IT DIE!
What they need to do is let it stay dead for a few years ( read: 5-10 ), then come up with a new spin on the universe that makes it completely different. Like, the borg ( or something worse ) take over the federation, and the series is about the last few ships and captains and their struggles.
Something dramatically different that would provide even the most BORING writer with material enough to go for at least a few seasons.
And damn it, I don't care how cool you think it is, NO MORE FUCKING TIME TRAVEL. Jesus, talk about taking an interesting plot element and wearing it out.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Or, Romulans BARING "parting" "gifts"....
Previously: "Linux... Toward the Sunrise..." Now: "Linux... Toward the-- No, now, part of Every Sunrise"
Why not? The whole series is based on an F'ed up time travel story... They can do anything they want now, and always press the cosmic reset button. Enterprise has no credibility - the only way to redeem it at this point would be to have the series end with a small child reading a book, and at the end we come to find out it is 23rd century fiction about the 'past', and the person reading it is a young James T. Kirk. The story would be the childhood inspiration he had to become a starfleet officer.
Better yet, how about we get Fred Savage to play a father reading the book out loud to his son... the series can then alternate between Enterprise clips, and the son interrupting him with things like, "Eww... not that kissing stuff again", ala Princess Bride.

What if you're wearing a condom?
I think it may intrigue viewers from the fact that the story line will get more jumbled up than seen on Red Dwarf(last season: let's just reset everything and have no onboard disaster!) or Doctor Who(went all over the place).
Let's not concern ourselves with the integrity of the story lines. It's beyond the point of no return. Sure, it was nice that DS9 picked up after Generations(notice sisko mentions the Enterprise getting destroyed). That time has past us. now we just get to watch implausable situations involving time travel in order to get more viewers. Anything could happen!
Hell, even I'll watch even though i am now 100% confused on the xindi situation due to teh fact I saw episodes out of order.
Khan!
Zhrodague.net - I do projects and stuff too.
Enterprise is about to "jump the shark". Any time a Star Trek series decides to dig up Kirk, you know it can't be good. Last season of Enterprise was very good, the best so far. Without a solid story arc, I fear for the future of the series.
Could always see if the timing works out for Enterprise to come across the nexus.. he could go in and meet kirk and picard ^_^ ..but not bring them out so they can go on to finish Generations...
"Troll" my fucking ass!!! He's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
William Shatner, more like: a) William Fatner b) William Shat'n'her c) Sex with a mare
TFA and the article linked to by TFA don't say anything about Shatner returning as James T. Kirk.
Since the linked article says Spiner will be playing "Dr. Noonien Soong's great-great grandfather" it's quite possible Shatner will be playing some ancestor of Kirk's.
This ...BUFFERING... can't be ...BUFFERING... the entire Away Team ...BUFFERING... gone ...BUFFERING... in a flash ...BUFFERING...
You've punished us enough, Q!
Star Trek is a classic example of something that was good, but has been rehashed so many times that it's all tapped out. The mine is spent. The well is dry. Star Trek has died on the vine.
I can't think of any more rediculous ways of saying it. Star Trek must die, for the good of Star Trek. Let it die. Let someone new pick it up again in a decade. End the madness now!

Hey, why be so negative? I think that having Shatner show up (as an older Kirk) in an eppisode of Enterprise is realy neat and lets the series explore new directions. I know the typical reaction is to toss away old people, but everyone gets old, the baby boomers are now realizing that they are getting over the hill and are really pushing hard for speeding up the development of life-extention/revering/reguvinating technologies such as nanotech...we are the very first generation in history that now has the capability (through biotech and nanotech), to be able to understand the aging process and slow/stop/reverse it in the next 10 to 20 years (faster if we do a crash program (the atom bomb was made in what, 4 years (Einstien said that it would have taken 40 years without a crash program), we got to the moon in what, 7 years? (we beat the Russians by a few months), now with so many more scientists, engineers on the planet (all getting old), it should be a cake walk, so perhaps we will see a young captain Kirk someday for real...

Personally, I'd rather watch Star Trek: Borg, where you watch as the Borg take over the rest of the planets. I can see it now. "These are the voyages of Borg Cube #200345.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." *Cue music*
Die. Die. Die. This is yet another attempt to drag those of us who love Star Trek but recognize Enterprise for the putrid, stinking pile of dung it is back into our seats.

Captain Kirk is thrown back in time and only speaks in Esperanto (a la Shatner's Incubus). Hoshi spends the entire episode attempting to translate this unknown language, finally inverts polarity of her translation software.
I've often wondered what would happen if an audience was shown a movie that mixed live actors and CG humans without being told which of the characters were CG. Given today's graphics technology, would they still be able to determine who was real and who was not? Or what if they weren't even given a reason to think anyone was CG in the first place? How many people would realize what was going on if they weren't consciously looking for clues? What would this do to the uncanny valley effect?
I went through this process myself with a few still images from Final Flight of the Osiris, and I realize that video is a completely different field that can't be directly compared to images in terms of realism, but it won't be too long before this situation is no longer entirely hypothetical.
William Shatner will be appearing on Star Trek: Enterprise for a two-episode guest stint - as James T. Kirk!
Won't they give this a rest? It's the same stories rehashed over and over. Maybe it's time for Trek to hang it up for another 15 years.

Such is the problem with hollywierd insisting on catering to a thematically challenged (US) populace that can't stand to see heroes die, that can't stand to live thru forced/regular ensemble changes. I find it refreshing that some European programming (not necessarily all, but some) change the characters out.
In a real navy (well, at least in the USN, surface ships), crew members rotate. In SOME billets, personnel might remain at a command (as specific ship or base, not referring to being "in command") for up to 3 years. Ship drivers (ship captains and officers near the level of captain) might be rotated afer 24-28 month, mainly due to "ticket-punching" and professional development, or for fleet requirements. Trek rarely took advantage of any of this, relying on the "deep space assignment" crutch. Transporter, time machines, and quantum slipstreams in speed advances could have eliminated this. (Yes, I can see the submarine/deep space analogy... But, on Earth, people can see you rotate/change commands.) And, no, rotating walk-ons to sit in a bridge chair for a few minutes of quick-pan, no-lens dwell time doesn't cut it.
Episodic series too heavily rely upon familiar, pretty, expensive faces. I guess pretty boys and pretty girls and their agents won't get rich on the usual sequel treadmill.
What Trek might need is a revival of Voyager. I wish Harry Kim WAS a captain, not just some shoe-in to an alternate timeline that **suggested** (End Game) he **could** be a captain. After all, Paramount could conveniently find Captain Braxton of the Federation Timeship Aeon to aerate Kim and have Endgame just as (scriptwise) conveniently succeed with the demise of the Borg...
And, probably ALL same-face ensemble-based shows could stand to freshen up their actors/actresses and yield to changing values a bit more frequently, rather than forcing upon gullible or swayed audiences a constant face or actor.

some jokes are even funnier when there's someone who just doesn't get it... ;p
If it wasn't already. The shark has officially been jumped on that show.
Let's think about it. Kirk from the time of Enterprise is either not born yet or rather young. Shatner is in his 60's or 70's or something. He's old. So, if Shatner, the old guy, is to appear as Kirk on Enterprise, either Kirk has to travel back in time from the point when he's either admiral the second time or ambassador or something, or Archer's got to travel forward in time, which has been done to death.
The only reason I want to watch is to find out if they can manage some really clever way to make it not suck.
I remember the first time I wne to the site. My co-worker was on a speaker phone conference. Everyone on the line went quiet and one guy said "What the hell was that?" and someone else answered "Star Trek II".
My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle...

Television needs more shows where the villians are the focus. For a change, it'd be fun to root for the Borg, Goa'uld, Overseers, Visitors, Cylons, or even Microsoft.

The only reason Guinan's "echo" gave for not leaving, when Picard asked her to come back, was that she "was already there". Kirk's not. He died (with the stupidest last words EVER: "Oh my." WTF). He could come out again, presumably leaving another echo behind. And since The Nexus transcends time, Enterprise could just happen to come upon it.

9) Show more science officer cleavage.

7) Wait until Paramount is 5 minutes plus a commercial break suspense builder away from canceling the show, and present a contrived and not so suprising solution.
6) Start selling pieces of Deforest Kelly's mummified flesh as souvenirs to the faithful.
5) Show more science officer cleavage!
4) Wait for JMS to pitch another scifi show concept, and then blatantly steal it after the lawyers have lawsuit-proofed the theft.

That's amazing! I didn't know he could still get work as an actor.
Hate to reply to my own post, but I just re-read the interview and its better than I remembered. Strange how a few years can do that.

Jesus, even I can be more original than some of their "writers".
Plus, what is Kirk going to do? Come back in time as an old man (as he is now) and tell the first enterprise to do this and that? Or will they have him play Kirk's great great grandfather?

Oh well, two more to beam up Scotty.
Archer can time travel into the tribbles episode. They can then show scenes of the original episode AND the DS9 episode where they travel back in time to that same TOS episode. Imagine Kirk, Sisko & Archer all in the same show. Now if we can just get Picard & Janeway in... just imagine the comedic possibilities!

Slight change you forgot to incorporate there. One which is particularly relevant in the case of the Borg. to boldly destroy what no man......................no one.................has destroyed before. Cue signatures and crying
Between the later years of TNG, the movies, and the final episode of V'ger, they have pussified the Borg so much that they are cut-out cartoon characters any more.
I remember watching the first-run of the Best of Both Worlds episodes with my non-Trekkie roommates and even THEY couldn't wait for the cliff-hanger conclusion 3 months away! Now *THAT* was scary Borgness! We didn't know much about them and they could kick ass while being impervious to our pea shooters. How will Humanity survive them??!
Now we throw a few quantum torpedos at them, raise our multiphasic shields, and press on undeterred. Big deal. The mystery has been solved, no puttin the genie back into the bottle, even via timeline manipulation.
Maybe Shatner would look good as a Borg drone? Or could the costume department even come up with enough piping and leather to cover his fat ass?

UPN keeps putting Enterprise up agains other shows. On Wednes day the show was up against Smallville and now the sho is up against Joan of Arcadia and Scifi mega noght with Andromeda, SG-1 and Atlantis - that doesnt even account for it being on a Friday night. To save Enterprise they should air it on Scifi at 8 PM.
Fact: Shatner is too old to play Kirk in the Enterprise timeline without some serious higgledy-piggledy with said timeline.

BTW, didn't that craze for calling everyone a 'something nazi' get boring about five minutes after it started (which was a *long* time ago)?
It's obvious how Kirk meets the ST:Enterprise crew.
After his retirement from Starfleet, Kirk exploits his Galaxy-wide fame by appearing as a spokesman for PRICETIME, the new commercial venture set up to exploit the dozen or so different time-travel mechanisms Trek has come up with. "Name Your Own Stardate" becomes an irresistible slogan.
Unfortunately, while shooting a PriceTime ad on location in the past, Kirk's film crew is ambushed and nearly wiped out by a team from PriceTime's fierce competitor, KHANPEDIA. Only Kirk survives, marooned on the World of Suzie Wong. His teeth chattering amid the plastic snow and rubber rocks, the delirious Kirk mutters "Kirk to Enterprise" which is miraculously picked up by the prequel vessel cruising nearby.
This episode, "Margin of Promise," is the highest rated of the season, losing only to CRANK YANKERS and a TBS rerun of "The Cable Guy."

There's a whole channel like that. It's called C-SPAN.
After about 100 replays, I turned the volume down.
Now, at maybe some 400 plays, it is starting to sound like Kirk is being gimped by Khan. More like agonizing pain, rather than exultation, ummm, exCLAMAtion...

You misspelled "badly"
If you look at the entire thesis of the Kirk character you will find that his main mode of operation and motivation is to bend the rules of the game in order to triumph over the evil of the moment. Whether it be the modification to the programming of the Kobashi Maru test, or the bluff played in the corbomite maneuver when the deck was stacked against him, Kirk always bluffed and cheated death throughout his whole career. This is in fact evidenced in the whole entry into the Nexus. His most certain death obverted by the luck of the draw as he tumbled into the Nexus, and not the vacuum of space. His character lived expecting to squeak by and live another day. This is part of the enduring charm of the Kirk character. However when finally the odds caught up with him and death was upon him, such a statement of utter astonishment that he didn't make it through this time is quite fitting.
Think Archer will tell him "I've been saving the galaxy before your grandfather was in diapers."?
When the source is open, the possibilities are endless.

But there *IS* a nice in-continuity answer. And, yes, it does involve time-travel.
Remember the episode of DS9 where they go back in time to "The Trouble With Tribbles"? When Sisko was explaining themselves to those "temporal investigation" guys, remember the recoil when Sisko mentioned Kirk's name? Kirk apparently held the record for the number of "temporal incursions". I remember seeing a website, once, where somebody went through all the episodes and movies, counted the time travel incidents, and came up well short of the figure in DS9. So there's PLENTY of opportunity for Shatner, and the 1701 to pay a visit to Dr. Beckett.
And Shatner has long since hit the point where old people don't get older, they just get fatter instead. He looks, now, like a kind of chunky version of Kirk, circa ST5 or ST6.
cya,

Imagine all the people...
I saw an interview with Patrick Stewart on the British chat show Parkinson. Parkinson asked him the very same thing - why is there no cure for male baldness in the future.
Picard's response was to mention what Gene Roddenberry said at one of the first TNG press conferences - that, in the future, "No one would care." This is of course perfectly in line with the almost utopian future that Roddenberry's vision for Star Trek espouses...where man has evolved beyond an obsession with greed, power, appearances etc etc...
I've never watched more than a half episode of Enterprise but it's got to be pretty damn lame if they have to drag Shatner back to play Kirk. It was bad enough when TOS had the occasional send-the-ship-back-to-1968 moment (2 by my recollection) or that whale movie. I kind of liked the guest appearances of TOS characters in TNG because at least they made some SENSE. They were shown as being a good deal older to start out with, and I'd think that in 300 years we'd have figured out a way to let people live longer, so that Dr. McCoy blessing the Enterprise-D wasn't so far-fetched. From there it went downhill IMO. Scotty in a transporter loop and just happening to be picked up by Picard's Enterprise? yup sure mm-hmm. And how about the backwards-growth time rift thing in "All Good Things..."? The TNG movies seemingly were trapped in time loops of their own, the first two both had to resort to bizarrenesses in order to make anything work. Voyager was fun for about 5 episodes but that's about how long it took to realize that somehow they'd get back within a few seasons anyway. And now we're pulling someone from a LATER series to an EARLIER one and he looks OLDER now. Yeah. whatever. What's next? Voyager and Defiant show up to help beat off the Borg, who are supposed to still be on the other side of the galaxy (other than the TNG-movie time travel crap)?!? How about throw the freaking Andromeda Ascendant in there, it won't hurt ST's credibility much further, and it IS another Gene Roddenberry series.
Not that I think the ST writers would do any better at, say, a legal drama ... "Your honour, I object on the grounds that my client just disappeared into a polaron-induced wormhole." "Bailiff, rotate phase by 90 degrees and fire on that mysterious entity! Bench to sickbay, medical emergency ... and somebody get the courtroom engineer up here immediately!" "Judge, I move for an immediate mistrial - the DA is distracting the jury by decontaminating herself with with body gel again!"
The real Captain Avatar is a fictional character, so I suppose he doesn't mind if I impersonate him.
A condensed version of the article. Trek Today reports that someone on its message board says that the MGM grand Hotel showed a comercial for enterprises 4th season that mentioned a guest appearence by Shatner. How is this any more info than we had in the last slashdot article?
(Fills moth with cotton wool) " ... the horror ... "
What a long, strange trip it's been.
- Enemy makes dramatic appearance, or else the Enterprise runs across a planet which then tries to destroy them
- Enterprise crew beam down a few thousand tribbles
- ???
- Entire enemy crew/planet is now either contently spending their days petting tribbles, or launching an anti-tribble crusade, and thus is far too busy to notice the Enterprise preparing to run away
- The Enterprise runs away
Of course, this would require the writers giving the crew brains, so I'm not sure one will have to worry about that.The Enterprise runs across the Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. Now there's an episode of ST:Enterprise I'd actually watch.I wonder how they will get the charm of breast enlargement off of Eutus. Or will they steal it off of Arumi, instead?
This sig space intentionally left blank.
I thought that that was why we had evening news.
Stop the Slashdot effect! Don't read the articles!
I say, what the hell, Enterprise sucked so bad this last season, let's see what Shatner/Kirk can add to the show. I remember when Enterprise started, I had thought it would be a nice change from the plodding, downright boring Voyager and the last few seasons of DS9. Finally, we were going to have a ship just fly around the galaxy, meeting aliens and interacting with them. Enterprise had so much promise, it was almost like a "back to basics" show: no complicated technologies, no Prime Directive to get in the way, no super-aliens starting a war or wanting to take over every civilization out there. Then they went into that damn Xindi/war/humanity is the enemy thing, and I just lost interest. I couldn't wait for the Xindi storyline to be over so we could get back to the business of exploring the galaxy again, and they've dragged it into another season. And with Nazis! Geeze, when will they learn, we don't want to see Nazi's and aliens! Why don't they do like a cold-war story, where the Russians take over part of the world instead, that would at least be original... So Shatner/Kirk, whatever, let's just get it over with and move on to the next stupid idea.
------ Will of Iron, Knees of Jello.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of the Quantum Leap analogy. I always figured they killed two birds with one stone by justifying the end of Quantum Leap in having Sam Beckett "leap" into the Star Trek role, never to return. It's the next logical step to a great series that had a lousy ending. Bringing back Al in one episode of Enterprise only reinforced this theory.
:)
I keep waiting every episode for the cheesy "leap" effects at the end, followed by an "Oh Boy!" when he realizes he is now a father of 3 half-Vulcan kids....
More like FOX News.
How about a show that just explores life on earth in the 'utopian' society ST created? What's life like for everyone else on the ground?
So, sorta like DS9? Except that it wasn't utopian, and it was a space station, so rather than yet another series where idealistic clean-shaven Starfleet officers go galavanting about the universe looking for hopeless situations to escape from at the last minute, the hopeless situations tend to come to them instead.
I'm a Trek fan and all, but I stopped watching Enterprise (as in, haven't seen a single minute since) the very moment they had the strapping young crew member and sexy vulcan rub "decontanimation gel" all over each other's naked bodies in a small, private, dimly-lit room.
If I were in charge at Paramount, my first rule for Enterprise would have been no 24th century technology, no 24th century species. You get warp drive, you get vulcans, you get human colonies, you get strange planets with strange animals, you get Starfleet pissing off everyone in the galaxy and maybe MAYBE you can get the Klingons in one or two season finales. And no time travel, ever. EVER. I can think of hundreds of interesting scenarios that could fit within those bounds. Look at Firefly. They didn't have half of that stuff.
Berman took the easy way out and really pissed off the Trek fanbase. I was almost wondering why it took this long for them to think of a way to get Kirk back in. I'd bet any amount of money that before the series gets canned, (wouldn't be too soon, from my point of view) they will probably end up involving a large portion of one of the TNG, DS9, or Voyager crews. Ditto for the Borg, if they haven't done so already.
Or like what they did for James Brown in Funk Blast. Funk Blast is the now defunct show/ride that was in the Experience Music Project (in the area that now houses the sci-fi musuem). The video at the end stars a 35 year old James Brown signing and dancing to sex machine. It was an impressive display of a mostly digital actor.
Actually, I really liked Shatner's parody entry. His only problem was that it was blown away by Robert Goulet's submission.
