I love his price-line commercials with Leonard NImoy. They're a hoot!

Star Trek is so dead. Stunt casting Shatner is just a pathetic attempt to pump some voltage into a corpse to make it twitch, but the magic is gone. Star Trek ran out of ideas 10 years ago.

Trek is just desperate for anything, they had to drop the price per episode to a price where they will be losing money this year making the show... UPN is only paying $800k per episode if I am not mistaken.. But the show needs a 4th season so that it can be sold in syndication reruns so they took the loss to be able to have rerun revenues. Without the cut in cost UPN would not have picked it up.

Enterprise started out with a reasonable premise... and then was quickly destroyed by preachy leftist lecturing and a wishy washy captain character.... The show has only lasted at all because of its Star Trek name.

He needs to get back to his illustrious recording career! There are so many more musical classics to torture!

Shatner is fat and pathetic even according to other humans.

Back in the 60's, when I was a young teen, I wrote a letter to the Network asking them to save the original Star Trek series. I remember Shatner's first gig after the series' demise: a Promise margarine commercial.

So I'll tune in to see him on "Enterprise", too.

Gah. I guess ST's always had people getting sent back in time (at least 2 old-series episodes set in the 60's, that darn whale movie, etc.) Some of the series-mixing made sense (i.e. McCoy visiting Enterprise-D in the first TNG episode, Spock as Vulcan ambassador, 1701-D occasionally visiting DS9) but some sucked (Scotty in a transporter loop just happening to get rescued by Picard's ship?!?) It seems like they need to rely on weird time shifts more and more (1st two TNG movies anyone?) And now they're pulling someone from a chronogically later series to one that happens earlier in history. The idea well seems to have run dry.

I should mention I've never really watched Enterprise. I only got UPN for about 6 months 2 years ago and Enterprise was on at a bad time for me.

I hear the episodes feature a married Capt. Kirk. I guess the scene shows his wife falling asleep in a bathtub and Capt. Kirk running around the enterprise asking for someone to call 9-11.

Not surprising. When will Q or the Borg make appearances?

Apart from the occasional good episode, Enterprise kinda blows.
