William Shatner Remembers His Days as Captain Kirk in The Original Series

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:45, 6 June 2008 / General Star Trek

Denver Post posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner, in which he revealed that he recently watched the second season TOS episode "A Piece of the Action". Here are few excerpts.

"I haven't seen myself playing Capt. Kirk in a long, long time," he says. "And I watched it now, from my perspective of 40 years later, and I thought, 'You know, that's rather good.' It's a starship captain trying to do the accent, the Noo Yawk accent, trying to play tough, trying to be one of the guys. It's not quite right, but it's what a starship captain would have done - a decent imitation, enough to fool those guys but not the audience."

"The actors were wonderful. And I didn't care about the sets or anything like that or the cheesy spaceship," Shatner says. "I think that's what happens in 'Star Trek.' Your eye goes past all the faults because you're concentrated on the actors and the plot."

More from Shatner on the character of Kirk can be found here.

Trexx, he was busted as a board troller a LONG time ago.

I especially get a chuckle how he loves to repeat the "THEY'RE IN THE MINORITY!" mantra, without a speck of evidence to back it up.

There's only four of HIS kind, two of which joke about Shatner drowning his wife, and the other two who didn't say a word of protest about said jokes. Yet they posted in that very same thread AFTER the jokes were made.

And all four, of course, trashing people in boards that, like you said, weren't even talking in the board.

Four gutless board trollers, yet they are the "majority"? Never mind the polls on general sites that say differently. What matters are four Trekweb posters, right?

At least the Shatner fans don't lie about their motivations.
