I recently learned that Shatner and Takei don’t actually use social media and all the posts you see from them are just some employees that were instructed to speak in their style.
However, as with other high profile accounts, one expects that messages that are high profile would be cleared with the person under whose name the official account is made.
Not at all. Chapelle told that joke about hearing that “his” “official” Twitter account was having beef with Kat Williams’ “official” account. During one show when both of them were in the audience, he went over to Kat and told him the situation - to which Kat replied, “wtf is Twitter?”
I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he’s 95 years old, and can’t be expected to be fully “in touch,” and (b) has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.
true, and he went with BEZOs into space as a tourist and became disappointed after, only for bezos to laugh for no reason after spraying him with ALCOHOL.
Yeah, it’s shatner so you one expects him to be crass, and you one forgets he was the first star trek captain. and agreed with the ideas being shown on screen (unlike, IDK, Barclay’s actor)
Captain Christopher Pike was played by Jeffery Hunter in the first Star Trek series, but was only in the pilot or something before Shatner took the reins. If you were sincerely asking.
not really. When people are thinking about their favourite captain, especially before the revival, Jeff was never in the running. Hell, Bakalar is barely in the running.
fits, hes always a wierdo that needs a psychological help in the show, probably a wierdo in real lfie. he played the same wierdo character on sg1, 1st season i believe as the “virtual reality guy”
What really gets to me is that he’s fucking Mung Daal in Chowder, whose actor is was a literal kid. God knows what kind of poison lies he fed that boy. I really liked him in chowder too.
It’s a silver lining to see Shatner using his platform for the greater good.

It’s possible on a regular basis.

Yeah. I wish people like him, sulu, and stephen king would abandon it already though.
Looking at the downvotes, I don’t think anybody realized you meant “abandon Xitter,” not “abandon using their platform for the greater good.”
Lol! That’s too bad
Yeah, I always thought he was kind of a douche, but I guess his heart is in the right place.
just, don’t ask him how many horses he owns

I just had to double check and holy crap I did not realise he is 95!

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realise the starring role of the TOS series , Captain Kirk was played by Jeffrey Hunter. How many episodes was he in?

I agree. It’s one of those nerd pedantic facts that people throw out.
The first pilot that wasn’t aired. It’s what got turned into the Talos IV episode with Pike, they used that footage for his “dream” life
Huh? What’s up with Barclay’s actor?
Right wing propaganda guy. Dwight Sclutz

@Skullgrid @Maestro Never meet your heroes.
I’ve actually done pretty good meeting my heroes, they’re mostly down to earth types.
@Skullgrid @BadExampleMan
That speaks as much to your excellent choices in hero’s as to the hero’s themselves 🙂👍
Sooo many of them too. I just can’t rewatch Hercules or Lois & Clark.
Boy, do I wish I hadn’t read this comment. This makes me sad to know.
What really gets to me is that he’s fucking Mung Daal in Chowder, whose actor is was a literal kid. God knows what kind of poison lies he fed that boy. I really liked him in chowder too.
No more! I had no idea of that, either! I friggin loved that show! I am now double depressed. I wish to know no more!
Aw man v.v
