It’s a silver lining to see Shatner using his platform for the greater good.

    Yeah, I always thought he was kind of a douche, but I guess his heart is in the right place.

    I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he's 95 years old, and can't be expected to be fully "in touch," and (b) he has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.

    Yeah, it's shatner so you one expects him to be crass, and you one forgets he was the first star trek captain. and agreed with the ideas being shown on screen (unlike, IDK, Barclay's actor)

    What really gets to me is that he's fucking Mung Daal in Chowder, whose actor is was a literal kid. God knows what kind of poison lies he fed that boy. I really liked him in chowder too.

    Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise the starring role of the TOS series , Captain Kirk was played by Jeffrey Hunter. How many episodes was he in?

    Captain Christopher Pike was played by Jeffery Hunter in the first Star Trek series, but was only in the pilot or something before Shatner took the reins. If you were sincerely asking.

    not really. When people are thinking about their favourite captain, especially before the revival, Jeff was never in the running. Hell, Bakalar Bakula is barely in the running.

    I recently learned that Shatner and Takei don't actually use social media and all the posts you see from them are just some employees that were instructed to speak in their style.

    It’s possible on a regular basis.

    However, as with other high profile accounts, one expects that messages that are high profile would be cleared with the person under whose name the official account is made.

    Not at all. Chapelle told that joke about hearing that "his" "official" Twitter account was having beef with Kat Williams' "official" account. During one show when both of them were in the audience, he went over to Kat and told him the situation - to which Kat replied, "wtf is Twitter?"

    I really dislike Takei's one (Jay Kuo) because of how shamelessly he uses it to promote his own substack sometimes.. and because of a specific substack post of his where he said "oh no it's so bad Arizona got abortion banned.. but there's a silver lining, maybe they'll learn to vote blue the next time" or some shit like that.

    +3M people losing their body autonomy and the first thing you think is "hey this can be a good thing for our campaign"?? fucking ghoul...

    Yeah. I wish people like him, sulu, and stephen king would abandon it already though.
