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.
More entertaining Trek stuff can be found here, though they have some bandwidth limitations and it requiresflash. You may check for StoneTrek here, too.

"Brent Spiner Will Reportedly Appear On Enterprise. Marina Sirtis spilled the beans at a convention in Dallas that Spiner will appear in three episodes playing the grandfather of Data's creator, Dr. Noonien Soong." -- TVTome
Belief is the currency of delusion.
Shatner is actually associated with the marketing turn around of priceline (after Jan 2001 all time low)... so he's still doing fine there
>I heard about an interview where they asked him why he would talk so slow. He answered that he did it for more on-camera time... kinda funny.
Adam West said that about playing Batman. Robin was pissed off.
"Firefly" is good because of the same reason the TNG was good. There arn't crazy special effects, or crazy intense computer generated graphics, just good story and good actors. Firefly in my opinion has the best un-noticed cast I've ever seen. I was really skeptical on the series, but after watching the pilot and one episode, I was hooked. I now own the whole series on dvd.
Actually, I don't think Shatner needs to work any time soon. He took Priceline stock as payment for the first round of endorsements instead of money. I found this link that he sold 35,000 shares back in 2000 for around $3.5 million. I remember another story where he eventually sold half of his stock for $14 million. Of course his other half isn't nearly worth that today, but I would say Shatner does not need the money.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
