thats what woke does.

woke destroys and divides.
it is not just satsfied in just injecting its vile message in every publication projecting forward..
it seeks to destroy and cancel all that was made before.
to rewrite history to fit its deluded ideas..

remember those images of taliban blowing up those statues?
or isis blowing up that old greek city and museum full of art that used to be in london?

thats what woke likes to do with our culture.

woke is one if the most evil, intolerant and supressive religions out there and we must not allow it to excist and destroy all that is not agreeing with its deluted ideas.

More seriously though, I thought Shatner retired from Trek anyway. His version of Kirk got the bridge dropped on him so they could have a replacement cast for the J.J. Abrams films, and it does not really make sense to use the original actors when over half of that cast is dead. Nichols died in 2022. Nimoy died in 2015. Doohan died in 2005. DeForest died in 1999.

Putting Shatner in the show is going to lead to an other Darrin moment if you try to replace his crew mates with the new actors, and even if we rolled with Nicki Minaj as Uhura, he is too old to portray the role in the current iterations of the show. Could you pull something off with just Kirk, Sulu and Checkov? Possibly, but they are not focusing on an era of the show where it would make sense to use a 92 year old man to reprise the role anyway.

Its been a long time since I have actually watched trek, but some basic cursory checking shows they are not writing Kirk out of the continuity. They just have other people playing that role now. The Abhrams movies used Christopher Pine of course, and more recently Strange New Worlds used some dude named Paul Wesley to play the role. Star Trek Origins is also going to take place prior to the J.J. Abrams films, so it does not make much sense to have Kirk at all in those, no matter who the actor.

Maybe if they need a 92+ year old James Tiberius Kirk who believes the Admiral's chair isn't so bad after-all or some futuristic mirror universe villain they can give William Shatner a call again, but until then he's just not the right man for the job anymore, and as such if I were in charge, I think I might be wanting to distance Trek from him a bit as well since he could drop dead at any moment and drag the brand name down with him.

Not entirely of course. Shatner's inexorably linked to the series as that young, daring and devilishly handsome man people fell in love with during the 1960s. Dude's a legend in that respect. However, I wouldn't be setting up any hopes that he'd be playing the role again, only to have him actually die on set, leading to a production and marketing disaster.

Dude has passed on the torch already anyway. I would tell him to live long and prosper, but let us face the facts here: William Shatner did both of those things already. XP

Kirk was a bar room brawler back in the 60's, more than happy to punch it out with everyone else who got into a fist fight with him. like every star trek captain that has been in the seat, there is always a pride problem to deal with (and i don't mean equal rights). Kirk was often too proud of himself and had a hard time asking for help, even in his later years he still looked and felt awkward asking for help when it was needed and when there was an opportunity to command you can tell he was itching to get in the chair and bark orders until the day he recognised his time had come and gone on the Enterprise-B.

That version of Kirk is different from the one in the reboot, the one in the reboot is more reckless like Janeway but in a different way, Janeway is haughty and self-righteous but this Kirk is so haughty as if nothing could touch him until he got put into a situation of his own making and then the consequences hit him in the face like a flying fist from the original Kirk.

Shatner is kind of a joke anyways. All his pausing in Star Trek is because he can't remember his lines well.

And probably has nothing to do with the fact that Shatner was universally disliked by the other people associated with Star Trek.

Because they want to.

The days people come up with a weird theory then just go to youtube to find something to "prove" it.

is he even an actor anymore still

Shatner should be careful. Fox news is the best example why no one should try to bank on a pack of ‘rabid wolves’ because he could be the next one on the chopping block if he falls out of favour and becomes useless to them.
