William Shatner turns 79 today. Happy Birthday Captain/Admiral!!
In recognition today is also talk like William Shatner day…but now we don’t joke about Shatner here..
Shatner is one of the most iconic figures in all of SciFi and he demands our respect.
Sure Kirk is now a caricature of a cartoon character but everyone knows who he is – and that’s not because of J J Abrams Frakin BS version of Star Trek either.
Kirk is Shatner and Shatner will always be Kirk.
Show Me SciFi 
Ok BS version? The version triggered a new wave of fans which it badly needed so give me a break on the old school thinking. We can honor the past without needlessly slamming any or all new versions of Trek. What the hell happened to IDIC and the thinking of welcoming diversity? Apparently that got lost in your train of thought.
