There was a song a few years ago called 'Where's Captain Kirk?' Need they have asked? He is alive and well and being the loveable sexist Denny Crane on 'Boston Legal' on the Living Channel in the UK.
Seemingly conscious of his potential sell-by date, Shatner has included on his bristling CV, novel writing and has paired up with the reliable team of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens for some time now. Its Bill's name on the cover that sells the books, though. Of course, its fanciful to think that Shatner taps his pencil impatiently on the desk and barks out 'Report on Chapter 1!' But why not?
Forty years on from the originalck (again), work out what is trying to wipe out the human race (again) and be an all round hero-guy (again, again).
Slickly satisfying and if only a film version were possible it would make a marvellous finale for the team. Alas, many of them have already passed on into a greater universe.
This licks the edge of the Trek universe and stamps down on its face. It makes war, it makes peace and there are a few laughs, too.
So here's Captain Kirk. Alive again. Still loving. Still fighting. Thanks, Bill. We love you, too.
