    Well I don't know about 'creative', but Jeri Ryan was on the finale of Boston Legal. That must have been fun for Shatner. "Your motivation is that you're lusting after her. Just keep looking at her wantingly. Good. We got all we need. ... Cut! CUT!! I said CUT!"

    Yet, the best part of "Star Trek" cannot be bought.

    The best part of "Star Trek" is the message of hope.

    Hope is not what Christie's auction will sell.

    No, no, check the catalogue. Hope is in there. It's item number 47. This auction really has got everything.
