That's the kind of ridiculous attitude that caused the downfall of this franchise. Shatner is still quite capable of playing the role.

I think you make a great point here. My heart says let him have a last go at it. But my head says- look at the guy. I mean it is really hard to believe it is even the same guy when you look at Shatner even 15 years ago versus now.
15 years ago he was kind of pushing projecting the persona of an aging but still clever Captain. Now I don't think he can really carry it off.
I really like the idea of a cameo by him, but also detest the idea that the last vision of Captain Kirk will be an unrecognizable overweight blob.
I guess one possibility in this age of CGI is to resurrect some older images of him and have him do the dialog.
