Shatner’s Surprise: Captain Kirk May Return to Star Trek, Given the Right Conditions
“Shatner, at 92, isn’t shy about stepping back into Captain Kirk’s boots – if conditions are met. His critique strikes at the dilution of the original Star Trek ethos in later iterations, holding firm to Roddenberry’s distinctive vision. Couple this with his recent venture into the real cosmos, which birthed a poignant concern for our fragile Earth, and you’ve got a debate that goes beyond Trekkies. The universe, it seems, still needs a Captain Kirk, and Shatner is up for the challenge.”
