    Actually, this guy isn't a religious zealot. He's an obvious troll, and you just fed him, Brainiac. Good going. How stupid are you?

    Ricardo will be remembered as a great and dignified actor that added serious weight to any lineup of a movie. Shatner will be remembered as a guy who eeked out a career longer than it should have been by hamming it up and making a fool of himself.

    I know which one I'd rather be.
    I bought ST-II at Christmas and watched it recently. It still stands up even now. He will be missed.
