You mean the Official Angst-Enhanced Pregnant Pause?

Yes, among other things such as the Dramatic Gestures. I have not seen it all yet, but I am seriously hoping there are no more of the truly horrible ‘fight’ scenes like the ones Shatner was famous for, and made all us martial-artists wince at how phony and staged it all was.

I think that has something to do with a certain generation of actors who started out in Shakespearean theater. That was Shatner's training and, if you listen, you'll hear Charlton Heston do it, too (and not just in his "B" movies, but in the epics such as Ben Hur).
