      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.

        I really dislike Takei’s one (Jay Kuo) because of how shamelessly he uses it to promote his own substack sometimes… and because of a specific substack post of his where he said “oh no it’s so bad Arizona got abortion banned… but there’s a silver lining, maybe they’ll learn to vote blue the next time” or some shit like that.

        +3M people losing their body autonomy and the first thing you think is “hey this can be a good thing for our campaign”?? fucking ghoul…

        I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he’s 95 years old, and can’t be expected to be fully “in touch,” and (b) he 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)

            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?

              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.

                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

                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.
