  • Star Trek 3: Shat Happens?

    Spock_and_Kirk,_1986

    Star Trek 3 writer and director Roberto Orci is wanting to bring back William Shatner for a part in the third revamped Trek film. The original Capt. James T. Kirk was supposed to have a cameo in the J.J. Abrams 2009 reboot, but was cut which led to Shatner doing his Shatner thing and getting pissed.

    Orci’s script has a scene which reunites Leonard Nimoy’s Spock and Kirk, whether it will really happen is anyone’s guess. I am of the thought that you can not have enough Shatner (of which I might be the minority).

    With Star Trek 3 releasing in 2016 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original series it would be a nice callback to the show’s history. Just keep Nichelle Nichols away from ever doing this again.

  • Kirk’s Top Ten Methods Of Beatdown In One Handy Video

    You can’t deny the pure animalistic fury that is James T. Kirk. Now this video showcases his top ten fighting moves that he utilized during The Original Series run. My personal favorite has always been the “Kirk dropkick” followed closely by the “see how quickly I can make Nichelle Nichols uncomfortable by rubbing my crotch against her”.

    The Gorn has had an almost 50 year career off of one appearance on the original Star Trek in the episode Arena and it keeps going strong with the new ad for [amazon_link id=”B0081B1O5A” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Star Trek: The Video Game[/amazon_link]. The Gorn play a huge role in the new game and have been revamped for the J.J. Abrams universe, but the classic still has his moments when he and William Shatner have another go round.

    I think it is not too much of a stretch to call this one of the most brilliant ways to promote a product. I mean, I was already getting the game to review it for you fine folks, but if I wasn’t this commercial would have me driving to reserve it now. I know, I know, the ad is in no way telling of if the game will actually be any good, but come on. They got William Shatner to fight a fu**ing Gorn again.

    And he’s 82!!

    Star Trek: The Video Game releases on April 23rd.

  • William Shatner May (Or May Not) Hate J.J. Abrams Taking Over Star Wars

    Welcome, once again, to the weird and wonderful world of William Shatner. Today “The Shat” gives his opinion about J.J. Abrams taking over the Star Wars franchise. He calls Abrams “a pig” and says the director has “gone too far” for trying to take on both of the biggest sci-fi franchises ever. The great thing about Shatner is that he knows how to carefully walk the line of funny as hell and sarcastic asshole. You can never tell which side he is really on and that’s what makes him “The Shat”.
