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...

More people who play dress-up and pretend to be other people, while reading the words others have written for them to speak . . . yes these people are the ones who should sway our decisions.

Every day Trump continues to prove he has exactly the right enemies, making him even more perfect for the job that needs to be done. #NobodyLeftToOffend

Oh my...I had quite forgotten that episode, many thanks for the link! When T.V. was not only eminently watchable, but was wonderful! The absolute end of T.V.'s "GOLDEN AGE".

But the first link, was THE best of the best and SO patriotic, without being "pushy", overt, or obvious.

>>I’m into reality. The Star Trek view of the future is simply not going to happen. I think the future is going to look more like something out of Mad Max.

The Star Trek future for the next century does look like Mad Max. Then Cochrane invents warp drive and things get better.

Not being American never stopped H’wood actors from commenting on our politics before.

“That’s it. I was a huge trek fan. I’m done with childish things now.”

Yep. Every time a celebrity says something liberal I think of how I can not support them. I haven’t seen a movie in the theater in eight years.

Andy Griffith was a major-league Commie moonbat a$$hole.

Yeah, that was a shock to see him with Ron Howard doing that despicable campaign commercial for communist Obama, where he pushed for his Marxist "Change" agenda. He always seemed so level-headed and sober, at least as "Andy Taylor" on the AG show.

“That’s it. I was a huge trek fan. I’m done with childish things now.”

Welcome to the club. It kills me since I love the mythology, but I’m finished supporting these morons. I’ll start by not buying Star Trek Beyond on BluRay (didn’t see it in the theater ... first Trek movie I skipped since Nemesis).

Yeah, I guess that makes me obtuse or something, but I am sick and tired of giving money to people that want to see me controlled by some know nothing hag.

I’ve completely had it with people that play dress up and pretend have more fortune, fame, and success than a person that serves in our military or someone that actually makes differences in people’s lives.

Wow ... I gave up NFL gameshows about 5 years ago ... I can’t believe I am adding Star Trek to that list.

It’s called “acting.” Sadly, often when we get to see the real people behind the roles, they’re a huge disappointment.

“Avery Brooks as well.”

I noticed that Shatner, Stewart, Brooks, and Bakula all left their names off the list.

That leaves that angry man Kate Mulgrew as the only TV show captain to put his name on the list. He must be getting senile in his old age and he looks kind of large in that woman prison show on Netflix (what is a man like Kate Mulgrew doing on that show?)

F*** these D@mned liberal asswipes who make their living playing "make believe".

Before film, actors were considered scum. They were low life, human detritus suitable only for associating with liars, thieves, gamblers and whores.

The invention of Film gave them more money and influence, but it didn't change the basic character of most people who seek to make a living by "let's pretend."

I tell everyone not to pay for the products which these people create. If you must buy movies, buy foreign movies, because if you are going to put money into the pockets of a communist, it is better that they be a foreign communist where their stupidity will have less of an impact on us.

George Takei.... Gets an entire career out of a supporting part in a series that only lasted three years. And now he's the go-to guy on gay issues. And now politics?! Un-frigging-believable.
