You can't fault William Shatner for being an opportunist, no matter how low the low-hanging fruit is especially given his expertise in two subjects: Star Trek and Twitter Capitalizing on the latest victim of Twitter hackers, the former captain of the U.S.S Enterprise quote tweeted Picard showrunner Terry Matalas revealing the platform's latest victim in[...]

Laying the foundation for both was William Shatner, who last physically played the character in 1994's crossover film Generations That was where the former admiral and captain died heroically on Veridian IV after falling mountainside trying to save Veridian III with Enterprise-D captain (now admiral) Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) from Soran (Malcolm McDowell) The fate[...]

As much popcorn fodder as it gets sometimes when two over-the-top Internet personalities can get at it, you have to wonder sometimes just how much legit "heat" exists because two of Star Trek's biggest icons, George Takei (Sulu) and William Shatner (Kirk)- who haven't stopped bickering in public whenever one is asked about the other[...]
