William Shatner is MY Kirk.

I saw this picture here, and it just made me write this:

Look, I have no problem with Chris Pine, and the truth is I think he did a great job as "Kirk 2.0", and I even loved J.J. Abrams' reboot idea- I want the whole thing to succeed deliriously.

But William Shatner is MY Captain Kirk.

I used to not understand when my dad would say that he didn't like "those new James Bonds"; I was like "What's the big deal- it's the same character?" But it's not the same with Captain Kirk.

William Shatner is MY Captain Kirk.

And it's not just the supposed over-acting, and it's not some childhood nostalgia; Trek was already cancelled and in reruns when I stayed up late at night watching them under the covers on my portable TV. It was already a geeky thing when I came home from Bronx Science and watched the reruns as I waited for my mom to come home from work.

It's the passion that I saw in Captain Kirk's eyes.

Excuse me- It's the passion that I saw in SHATNER'S Captain Kirk's eyes.

Excuse me again- it's the passion that I SEE in Shatner's Captain Kirk's eyes.

The passion for friendship, for romance, and for justice. The passion that has reignited a career over and over again, and still brings people together to enjoy themselves in front of it.

The passion that makes a reboot with Chris Pine even possible.

So, I dedicate this blog, my love for Star Trek, and my love for Trekkies, to William Shatner-

MY Captain Kirk.

If you feel the same way, share this with someone, would ya?

Happy 80th Birthday William Shatner!

For many of us, today is also known as "Talk Like William Shatner Day".

80 years old, and jumping over counters in his sitcom, singing on Late Night TV, 2 interview shows on cable, and people still clamoring for him to be in the next Star Trek movie... amazing. William Shatner remains an inspiration to me, and I maintain that EVERY actor should read his autobiography; it is... FASCINATING!

Shatner sings on Lopez...

Yes! William Shatner sings "F*CK YOU" By Cee Lo Green:



C'mon, don't you want to be him too?

In case you don't believe me...

In case you don't believe all of the advice in Captain Kirk's Guide To Women, you can hear it straight from Bill:

Shatner and Palin...

I couldn't resist adding this to the log:

Shatner Does Palin... Again!

A little of the Captain doin' that Palin thing on Conan...
