What is the latest round?

Shouldn't Canadian Libraries have a Shatner wing at each location?

So, for anyone who's curious - speaking of Shatner - that 77 Sunset Strip episode I posted about was actually a 4-parter show, with Shatner appearing in more than the first episode. In the first one, as I mentioned, he got into fisticuffs right away - lost AND managed to keep his shirt on. But he barely had any lines and I rated his acting as worse than average.

In the next episodes he had to - yanno - act. With words. And facial expressions. And body language.

OMG he was abysmal. Horrible. Literally the worst I've ever seen. It's hard to believe, but Star Trek was a BIG step up in acting for him. Being a scene-stealing hack looks like it was the pinnacle of his accomplishment.

Think it is Discovery.

And JSF, I don't give a frak about Shatner. Never really liked his acting.

Shatner is just an awesome human being.

Sure his acting sucked, and I could never get into the original Star Trek series because it was way before my time.

If ya'all still haven't watched Black Mirror, I'd recommend the USS Callister (Season 4, Episode 1). Great love/hate letter to the original series.



I know it's an unpopular opinion almost everywhere, but Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek, IMO. It's the only one I was able to sit and binge watch all the episodes.

Pretty impressive, I must say, for a Nazi like me to love a show with a black Commander and a female XO.

Oh... look at me, practically virtue signalling all over DS9. But I've got a long history here of saying that it's the best Star Trek show, and I fell in love with that one many years before inter-sectional politics even had a name and a TV show could just stand on its own merits rather than have political agendas forced down your throat.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

"Shatner is just an awesome human being."

I'm not acquainted with that side if him. Perhaps you could explain a bit.

Did some woman die unexpectedly at his house?
