Walter Koenig Reprises His Role as Chekov
hords writes "Walter Koenig returns to the role of Lt. Pavel Chekov in an upcoming episode of Star Trek: New Voyages, a fan made series mentioned earlier on Slashdot. He will be re-imagining the role that made him famous. 'The folks from New Voyages approached and we started kicking around ideas for a Chekov story,' said Koenig. 'It occurred to me that what we were coming up with was what every actor dreams of: a second chance to get it right...it is almost beyond comprehension that this is happening so late in my life! Talk about belated reward!...I didn't believe I could ever again be this excited about performing a part...I guess it isn't so trite after all: perhaps, all good things do come to those who wait.' Amazingly enough they even got D.C. Fontana to write the episode!"
death, taxes, and the attempted resurrection of Star Trek.
Please, just let it go. For the sake of humanity.
Seriously it scared the hell out of me as a kid. Now when I watch it I'm just embarassed. Ah well.
It's dead, Jim.
But he was a damn good comic relief. BONES He's coming 'round, Jim... KIRK Pavel, can you hear me? Give me your name and rank... CHEKOV ... Chekov... Pavel H... Rank -
(a fantasy smile) ... Admiral...

Wanna bet he's a pedophile? Prison, sci-fi, Jesus; it just screams pederast.
Don't forget his musical career :)
We're the cunts, you're obviously the wanker.
Fry: Melllvar, you can't let a TV show be your whole life. You can do anything you want. Look at Walter Koenig. After Star Trek, he became an actor!
Koenig: Not just an actor but a well rounded person! With my own friends, credit cards, keys...
That's not meant to be funny; William Shatner really is doing All Bran adverts here in the UK.
If I have nothing to hide, you have no reason to search me
I like goofy Shatner! He knows he's a big goofball and he has fun with it. The guy always makes me laugh.

"I'm not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170... (some audience members say "1"), or own a phaser. I don't know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock (picture of Dr. Benjamin Spock is shown on screen behind him). And no, I've never had green alien sex, but I'm sure it'd be quite an evening. (Pomp and Circumstance begins playing.) I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink Labatt's, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me 'live long and prosper', I seriously mean it when I say, 'get a life'. My doctor's name is not McCoy, it's Ginsberg (nude picture of Dr. Ginsberg shown on screen). And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And when I speak, I never, ever talk like Every. Word. Is. Its. Own. Sentence. I live in California, but I was raised in Montreal. And I believe in priceline.com, where you never have to pay full price for airline tickets, hotels, and car rentals! I've appeared onstage at Stratford, at Carnegie Hall, Albert Hall, and the Monkland Theatre in NDG. And, yes, I've gone where no man has gone before, but... I was in Mexico and her father gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am Canadian!"

We apologize for the inconvenience.
Damn straight. Let's put the angst back into space-travel. Next stop, Dostoyevsky...
