Features

By GustavoLeao / 13:31, 7 October 2006 / People

Recently, William Shatner wore his Starfleet uniform one more time for a DirectTV commercial. The ad uses original footage of Shatner and stock footage from Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country.

This is the first time Shatner plays the beloved captain in a decade.

Enjoy!

Shatner looks great. Bring him back for ST XI | Report this post to moderator
By: NEXUS (Odo's file, contact) @ 08:45:01 on Oct 08, 2006

If there was any doubt that William Shatner could look the part, this commercial just proved he could.

Shatner and Nimoy both want to return as Kirk and Spock. It would be foolish not to have them back as Kirk and Spock in ST XI.

It's time to "Bring Back Kirk"

PS: I mean the real Kirk.

That lost shot of Kirk in the turbo lift looks new. Can anyone confirm that IS Shatner in uniform.

Everyone recognizes the value of Captain Kirk and Bill Shatner except for Paramount.

Yeah, I saw it last night.

I was reminded of Spitting Image for some reason.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on

my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their

breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and

only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
