great list , thanks , got it

b/t/w I shall very watch any episode of Star Trek again
who needs their stupid Hollywood fantasy .
But we can always hope that some extraterrestrials , with a taste for Hollywoodies show up .

That would be a perfect fate for George Takai , they could squeeze him until he squirts

There are notable exceptions. Bruce Willis and Gary Seniese (sp? sorry) come to mind. But they are big enough and wealthy enough that they don’t have to cow-tow to the Hollywood leftist culture.

"William Shatner apparently did not sign this."

And he had the most successful post Star Trek career out of all of them. Coincidence? - I think not.

That’s rather odd he’s not included.

Neither is Scott Bakula.

So the only captains that signed this is Janeway. The Canadian, English, and two of the Americans didn’t.

Fine. I’m totally done with Trek then. Like what the hell is WRONG with these people that they just feel so comfortable alienating their viewers?!

I still watch the original series and The Next Generation and the movies based on those series. I don't care what actors think. Their fatuous petition simply makes them look ridiculous and self-important. The only thing I have ever wanted to hear an actor comment on is acting.

Loved Star Trek as a kid. Makes me nostalgic for the original series, 50 years ago, when they reflected traditional American values.

Like here” Captain Kirk and the Constitution - https://youtu.be/CsRo-m9muFE

Nicole de Boer is also Canadian.

Captain Janeway signed. Seems the male captains had good sense when to hold their fire. I don’t see Kirk, Picard, Sisko, or Archer on the list.

Good idea when you’re trying to sell subscriptions to your pay-per-month streaming service to people interested in your new TV show which will be streaming only. I wasn’t going to subscribe anyway but if I were on the fence, mind made up.

How alienating!

This now means their Franchise will NEVER get another cent from me and MILLIONS of other Trump supporters.

They can Boldly go where no man has gone before!

One of my favorite parodies is "Galaxy Quest", especially the part with Sigourney Weaver:

GWEN: At least you had a PART. You had a character people loved! My TV Guide interview was six paragraphs about this body suit. About my legs. How did I perfect my trademark sidesaddle pose? Nobody ever bothered to ask what I DO on the ship...

FRED: You were the, uh... Wait I'll think of it...

GWEN: I repeated the computer. "It's getting hotter, Commander!", "The ship is disintegrating, Commander!" Nothing I did EVER affected the plot, not ONCE! Nothing I did was ever taken seriously!"
