Live long and...vote for Hillary Clinton?

A bevy of "Star Trek" cast and crew members from multiple generations signed an open letter Thursday by the Facebook group "Trekkies Against Trump," blasting GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and arguing against a third-party "protest vote" in the November election...

Just another reason I can’t abide Star Trek.

Trump’s testosterone scares George.

Hollywood allying together to fight a political candidate is the best endorsement possible.

I wonder what James Doohan, war veteran, would think of his son signing his name to support a criminal like Hillary Clinton.

Nichelle Nichols (Ohura) also did not sign.

Most non-trekies do not know that she and Shatner (Kirk) had the first inter-racial kiss on national TV. At that time, doing so was extremely brave and controversial.

She’s very smart, too.

Even though some of my favorite Star Trek actors did not participate in this idiocy, I am no longer a Trekie as of NOW. They can GT#.

Heidi is Rod’s wife. I’m pretty sure Rod is Gene’s son by Majel Barrett.

Agreed, what’s next? Are we going to get “WKRP in Cincinnati” against Donald with ones like Loni and Howard or if Andy and Don and Floyd the Barber were alive, would we have Andy of Mayberry against Trump?

YOu can expect more of this. Klinton is trying to get the youth vote and they will enlist anyone that has a younger following.

LOL, I know it is stupid TV, but it is hard to dislike Shatner for this scene: Shatner shoots a mugger in the knees!

Dorn and Stewart did NOT sign.

Uhura didn't either. Neither did the dead ones like Nimoy, which is not a given considering we are talking about democrats.
