He's always complaining about ST fans, but he disided to write a book for ST. In it not only is he raised from the dead at least FOUR TIMES but he distroys the borg homeworld, fights off section 31, gets the girl, gives birth to a new race, fights off the preservers, singilhandadly discovers 2 galaxy wide consperacys AND to top it off seals off the mirrior universe from the regular universe. Someone has an ego the size of a planet, and is a hypocrit too....

Sounds like a regular day at the office for our good captain.

evidence, please? you sound like a disgruntled uberwarsie nerd on an antitrek tirade.

Sometimes shatner pisses me off thats all.

As for his antifan read "Get A Life" by him

As for his reserections and the other events I discribed you can read them in his ST book series. He's just a LITTLE hypocritical sometimes, I'm just highlighting that.

Shatner wants fans but not competition for his biggest fan (himself).


Still, you can understand how he can like trek fans but not Trekkies. Some of them take it waayyyyy too far.

Actually, he must've been alittle off that day, he only scored with one chick after all.

Maybe those books are just Shatner's new way of ridiculing his fans.

Um, I believe that Get a Life! was Shatner's apology to the fans he insulted when he said "Get a life!" on SNL. He actually researched Trek fandom and discovered the good in it.

Or some shit.

Anyone else love his rapping "No Tears for Ceasar" bit in Free Enterprise?

Also, his rendition of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is always great.

Having read the two Trilogies involving Kirk i can agree to a degree with Ajaz50. Shatner has a cheek to insult the people who made him rich and famour. Every thing Shatner has done not involving Trek has been poor at best. I actually was dopey enough to get a few of his non-trek books out of the library, without the Gar-Steven's he's a pretty crap writter. His spoken word songs sucked a big one. And i won't even comment on T.J. Hooker. Admitidly rabid trekies can be a bit much to take, sometimes you have to grin and bare it. He's the one who needs to get a life.

But he was funny in Miss Conjentality and Osmosis Jones.

Don't forget "Airplane 2"!

And the Futurama episode "Where no Fan has Gone Before."

Easily one of the most evil musical atrocities ever committed against mankind, it ranks only slightly less horrific than the Brady Bunch singing "American Pie," which nearly prompted me to fling myself from a third story window to escape, and I'm not normally prone to such behavior.

Amen to that.

I loved the part where he starts to snap because of all the blinking buttons and shit.

A shame Nimoy didn't sing the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. I wonder why the guy who played Scottie wasn't in it.

Also Loaded Weapon 1.
I've only read one of the books, the Return, and the thing thattstruck me most was the relatively intelligent behavior of the spec-ops people depicted. They carried an incredible mix of weapons to counter adaptation, including at least one kinetic base one(which was adapted to, but this isn't remotely canon).

The funnyst parts shatner was in was when he acted like an idiot Point in hand Ms. Congenialaty:
"she was involved in a little movie called 'Arma-get-it-on' "
Shatner: "That was her?"

or the scene in which the stage blows up while he singing "There I was in the middle of my song and boom..."

as for the worst shows/books ever don't forget Shatner's Tek-wars.....

Let's not forget the Twilight Zone and Outer limits episodes he did. I think that his career is finally on the rebound.

I must say that i quite like Shatners books. the way he uses aspects of the series and interprets them in new ways. Like claiming that V'ger from the first movie was created by the borg.
You have to imagin his books in a whole other continuity as the rest of the Trek world in order to enjoy them fully
