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...

That’s not the way I remember it, but (honestly, no snark) correct me if I’m wrong.

I thought the Obama camp was able to get the records unsealed and then she actually came out in defense of her ex-husband...it did no good as the bell had already been rung, but I don’t remember her being pro-Obama or helping out.

I know Shatner is an egotistical jerk, but anyone who can mock himself the way he has...well, I have to give them some respect!

Weird considering Jeri Ryan helped bring us Obama.

No, she didn't.

No Jeffrey Combs, thank goodness - been a fan of his since The Reanimator.

Very disappointed in Marina Sirtis though. She was a babe back in the day.

If any of these morons get into a car wreck caused by a drunk driving illegal alien, I would not give a flying crap.

Or get beheaded by muzzies....tough!

Screw the Federation and their world government on Earth.

Here we have a list of mostly now has been actors giving a lame protest without any thinking.

Guess I will have to boycott some of these people. What a sad pathetic group.

By the way I thought Star Trek promoted diversity and tolerance for all in the 24th Century. Guess we haven’t gotten there yet.

Cruising through space, until the lights come down, the director says cut, and all these characters go back to being just a bunch of mixed-talent, blathering actors.

Big deal.

I’m pretty sure this is only a rumor. Shatner himself declares that he is a Canadian. He had an interview with the odious Piers Morgan about this very subject, but here is a more amusing clip for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOnQROgk1IM

Other than G.T. and Weaton(only because he’s the butt of some many loser jokes) I can’t put a face to any of them.

What season and show were the 2 Nimoys on?

I think it’s the whole Star Trek extended “family.” Roddenberry’s kids are on the list, I think, and they never really worked on any incarnation of the show, I think.
