On Wednesday, William Shatner, the beloved Boston Legal actor famous for portraying attorney Denny Crane, traveled to space.
Shatner was one of four people aboard Jeff Bezos’s cucumber-shaped Blue Origin rocket as it soared to the edge of the atmosphere, offering breathtaking views and a few minutes of weightlessness. The shaft of the eggplant-shaped craft then detached and passengers floated back to earth. The mission seemed to be a success, but concerned witnesses said something about Shatner seemed off.
"He seemed…evil," said another crew member. "And he had a black goatee that really added to his evil look."
After attempting to sabotage the next flight by removing the inertial dampeners and randomly attacking a civilian in a red shirt, Shatner declared that West Texas, where he landed, was “now part of the Terran Empire.” When Bezos attempted to congratulate him on his journey, Shatner cracked a bunch of bald jokes and mocked Bezos for being only the second richest person in the world.
Experts theorize that somewhere in the lower atmosphere, the mushroom-shaped vessel encountered a disruption in the space/time continuum, and the William Shatner from our reality was replaced by a sinister William Shatner from a parallel timeline. Worst of all, the mirror Shatner is almost indistinguishable from our William Shatner, save his striking goatee and big, thick, evil eyebrows.
Thankfully, the threat posed by evil William Shatner is predicted to be short-lived since, like the real William Shatner, he is 90 years old. Due to his age, he will probably return to the heavens soon, and this time not in a bratwurst-shaped spacecraft.
It looks like a giant...
Dick Sargent would have loved to have gone up into space as well. But it not in ship that looks like a giant...
🤣🤣
Johnson was the President during the original Star Trek wasn’t he? But even he probably couldn’t envision a ship that looked like a big...
Oh crap, at least one of those red shirts didn’t come back.
When he looked out the window did he see gremlins? (Old Twilight Zone ref)
nice
Cucumber. Right.
Knew the source from the headline...
When’s the due date? :)
Shatner has been at the butt end of many jokes over the years. Today I think he had the last laugh. George Takei must be beside himself.
Shatner should have done this for real.
So close. The red-jackets need the Engineering Division icon in their badge.
Sometimes a rocket is just a rocket.
While Shatner is two years older than me, even at my younger age I find that crap crappy...
Although what pisses me off even more is that he can afford the ticket for that trip and I cannot... To do so would require me to terminate my wife's frequent trips to one of the nearby casinos... You don't want to piss off an 83 year old woman by getting between her and her favorite slot machines...
I bet George would really appreciate that space ship, for some reason...
Like old times
