William Shatner was a great man...but that was another life.

I am already against the whole notion of going back and partitioning the Trek HDD that trio of bastards have been allowed to do, adding Nimoy a put fishnet stockings on it to make it seem more legitimate would , of course, only lead the Shatner push-up bra. Neither of these guys would be necessary if they just concnetrated on a new approach centuries removed from where Trek's timelines were. I have no problem with Trek getting a facelift but the only thing worse than bringing back one has-been to urinate on a show he has never cared much for is bringing back an even worse one. I am happy with the contributions both Nimoy and Shatner have made to their repsective Trek characters but am quite content to call it enough because this is nothing more than a money move- if it does happen. How anyone can be happy about this possibility is beyond me.
Trek is moving backward and will probably never be able to get unstuck if this is successful. The only way to prevent this is for the movie to bomb.

Shatner was Kirk for OVER 40 YEARS!!!!!!!

WRONG! Shatner was Kirk for 3 seasons of live-action tv, a season of a Saturday morning cartoon, and 7 motion pictures. That's not over 40 continuous years of Shatner playing a character.

In reality, Shatner has the fewest hours in his role as all of other subsequent leading men/women of the sequel series. And, this is just my humble opinion, but I think we're going to see in this new movie that Kirk is much, MUCH more than just William Shatner.

Shatner rumors wouldn't start until this movie was out on DVD. There's only one way to stop the rumors, but no matter how I say it I'll sound like a jerk.

Can we please move on and leave Bill alone? James T. Kirk is a character that belongs to Paramount, or indeed the fabric of American culture. I don't need to have a Roger Moore cameo in the next Bond film. I don't need Adam West in the next Batman movie and I don't need Shatner in the next Trek film. He's dead. Move on.
