Don't look at the video and just listen to his voice. He could still do voice acting for say a Star Trek cartoon and you'd believe Kirk is in his 40's. Incredible.
I saw the first Star Trek as a small child, it totally captivated me, both series and movies. William Shatner just summed up what Star Trek was and still is, all about, 'humanity' and the human connection, which is what has endeared audiences to it, throughout 50 years. I attended this special 50th anniversary of Star Trek at the NEC in Birmingham. I was so beyond excited to be there and I had my photo taken with 'Captain Kirk' on the set they re-created there ' the original bridge of the original Enterprise' it doesn't get better than that. I know it's fictional but for me it will always be real. 🖖😊
I know everybody says Patrick Stewart looks great for his age but I gotta say Shatner looks like he hasn't aged since Star Trek Generations. The dude is 85 here and looks better and especially sounds great.
Heather thank you for filming this. I have been watching the Original Series since it first aired 50 years ago. William Shatner is one of my favorites. I truly cannot believe 50 years have gone by. I don't travel much anymore and to see something this feels as if I am there with everyone watching a true TV icon. He looks good. I hope he remains in the spotlight for many many more years. Thank you!!
Of course! Thank you for watching! Hopefully, I'll be recording this convention every year in the future, so that way you'll never miss a convention :)
Heather, I have been meaning to thank you. Because you, I have been able to watch all the panels I missed and re-watched the ones I enjoyed. So again, from one Trekker to another, thank you! You rock!!
This is brilliant I'm sorry I missed it live I've been watching the convention for 3 days now and it just makes more and more sad I missed 50 years I hope they to something for the big 30 of the next generation cause I'm most certain I'm going just need to find those deals
This guy is 85, like Star Trek we will eventually live to early 100's on average with 125 and so being like 90 is today. I think in the distant future alot longer than that.
I was with a friend of mine and we got stuck in an elevator with William Shatner at a swanky hotel in NY. It was weird because it was, well, Willam Shatner and we knew all the horror stories from people who have met him. My friend was a huge Star Trek geek and I could see him shaking in his boots. All the while we were quiet and this horrible smell would suddenly start to linger in the elevator. William kept staring at us with this weird look on his face. I waved my hands as soon as Shatner turned around to look at his cellphone to get my friends attention. He looked at me with that "What's the smell" look? Shatner put his phone back in his pocket and bent over. He let out the nastiest and loudest fart. We both started to laugh and figured it was Shatner breaking the ice even though he stunk up the elevator with his face. I chuckled out a "P.U." and Shatner looked at me like he was going to smash my head against the wall. "What the fuck is so funny?" he asked. As soon as I was about to open my mouth the doors to the elevator opened, Shatner began to walk out, he turned around and said "Enjoy the stink you stupid fuckers!"
Did the folks walk out because he said "Trump"? LOL I met him in SanFran at a convention and he was a sweetheart, my lil bro was in a wheelchair, he spent almost 10 minutes talking to him, it made his day, well his year really..
William doesn't look too bad for an 85 year old man. It may surprise you to know that he's 85, but I think when you consider how long he's been in show business, it isn't that surprising.
In the past the populations of many great civilizations have been noted to seemingly dissapear. The new earth is waiting for all those who are ready to "ascend." If you don't get to go this time, maybe you'll get to go next time. All the worrys and fears of this world must be overcome and then set aside to move on to the next. That of course would be the one of the rules.
ACTUALLY A MORE CORRECT WAY OF LOOKING AT THAT WOULD BE IF YOU CANT TEST IT THERE MIGHT BE A REASON LIKE OUR SCIENCE ISNT ADVANCED ENOUGH TO TEST IT. EVERYONE FALLS FOR EVOLUTION BUT OBSERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW IN SCI METHOD. NO ONE HAS EVER OBSERVED 98 PERCENT OF WHAT EVOLUTION DICTATES. SO IS EVOLUTION SCIENCE OR NOT>?
Ive never been to Australia therefor it doesnt exist? idiots. think about what your saying.There is such a thing as scientific EVIDENCE. Evidence from dna from the fossil records from observation from geographic distribution. from scientific testing and all this evidence is put together into a theory by people who have spent there lives studying the field of evolutionary biology they theory has been tested thousands of times and has never been proven wrong. Jesus try learning something.
William Shatner well said maybe one day he to will make it out of... The Cage though one must remember the trial never truly ends so maybe "all good things" don't really come to an end pardon the STNG first/last episode paradox-conundrum.
Dimensions must be thought of in the context of reality all realities being AI construct-programs/hardware. The 5th dimension relates to the 5 pointed star the "reality" which Samael is the Administrator of which is describing program function(like a designation) just like his name. You see this relation as well in say the Menorah which is 1 in the middle & 3 & 3 surrounding it or the one with 1 in the middle & 4 & 4 surrounding it. Names are so descriptive far to descriptive especially throughout history when taking it in totality along with dates which display an unnatural pattern that far to few can see or have the proper data/context=a wide enough band of knowledge to acknowledge which would really be helpful in getting people to actually act humanely & plan further ahead, beyond.
I think William Shatner meant he did not get that space-time are intertwinedLOL ... Hard to grasp indeed! But he does have a point, much of today's theory in science (Quantum Physics, Astrophysics etc.) still have to be proven. Yet they point the way toward something! For example the 5th dimension is a mathematical prediction in regards of what we know of the present understanding of laws of physics. It may or may ot exist, but it seem to be a necessity. But indeed people should not forget that until a theory is proven, it is mythology or call it science-fiction like he did.
2016 50th Anniversary Birmingham UK. Where was the man who,s vision this was all about Gene Rodenberry at this event ? Not anything in the official program either. Lot of money being made at these events and poor old Gene forgotten ! Even the latest movies good as the stars are - the feel of that vision is being lost.
When old man Shatner sort of provoke some of the famous scientist he is not being that cocky and irritating after all, he his pointing problems we do have in science in a comical way, I think, watch this conference title "Brian Greene Hosts: Reality Since Einstein"of famous scientist at 42:05 minutes "Nobody understands what a black hole is." See link ua-cam.com/video/3EOpHHjv5g8/v-deo.html But I still believe that our scientist do good job elaborating theories LOL Did science-fiction be get science or science be get science-fiction? To quote William Shatner. SO THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS THAT WE SHOULD BUILD A SPACESHIP LIKE TH ENTERPRISE TO GO SEE WHAT IS IN OUTERSPACE :o) for real!
I read Hawking's first two books in high school and understood them completely (geneous that I am). Shatner: loser! I see his beer gut is increased. He should have been called the 'the Big Giant Gut from the 5th Dimension' on 3rd Rock from the Sun.
This was terribly boring. His explanation of what he missed Leonard Nimoy's funeral was reprehensible-a fund raiser at teh behest of Donald Trump (for the Red Cross). I turned off the video at 18:07 minutes.
He made a commitment to be there. He could have backed out, and several million dollars would NOT have been raised for sick children. The people who put on the affair were solely dependent on him being there in order to raise the money. He did the right thing, even though he can be criticized by small minded people
For someone who's been known to say Star Trek fans need to get a life, and who's been noted to behave dismissively to fans at conventions, he sure doesn't mind milking it.
Shatner is the one Trek actor I personally dont like. He just comes across as too full of himself. Of course the others are self confident too, but he sees himself as the center of the universe. Meh.
I would agree with you if it was someone who didn't warrant such attention, but in my view Shatner can be as full of himself as he wants to be. The guy's in his mid to late 80's, has the energy of someone half that age, is intelligent, kind and genuinely warm. And let's not forget the guy is the one true Kirk. He may have been a bit of a dick many years ago, but I think he's mellowed, for some humility and has learned to connect with his fans and embrace the warmth we would all heap upon him. So, if he's full of himself I say good for him! If only we could all be so lucky at his age.
I agree. I don't really like people with big egos like Shatner or Roger Waters, but I do like their work. I just prefer real, down to earth celebrities like James Doohan & Deforest Kelly were.
I love Shatner. The best Captain of all Star Treks. Thanks for this.
Don't look at the video and just listen to his voice. He could still do voice acting for say a Star Trek cartoon and you'd believe Kirk is in his 40's. Incredible.
Thanks for this, thrilling. Bill's energy always blows me away. He looks about 50 here.

Heather, I am new to Star Trek. I see there are many conventions in major cities all over the country. Is the big one in Las Vegas?
Nathaniel - Yes, the big Star Trek convention is the one in Las Vegas.
Why are people walking around? WILLIAM SHATNER IS ON STAGE! What could be better than that? Where are they going??
50 Years Star Trek Series.Shatner's Voice Love At Heart.
That was great fun throughout!
50 years! Thank you for posting this

I like Shatner and will be looking forward to watching this! Thanks Heather!
Heather, I have been meaning to thank you. Because you, I have been able to watch all the panels I missed and re-watched the ones I enjoyed. So again, from one Trekker to another, thank you! You rock!!
I second this!
Great interview, thanks so much for sharing :)

Thank you Heather!
Thank you!
excelent William god bless you
Loved it.

he may be big headed, but at that age he is pretty good, so good luck to him, he deserves praise for longevity
the word remiss originated 1375-1425 in late Middle English. It comes from Latin remissus (past participle of remittere to send back, slacken, relax).
Damn, Shat looks and sounds great at 85!
and he took the rise out of himself in BOSTON LEGAL, really good 5 part series
Captain Kirk has found the fountain of youth! Obviously hahahahaha !!! This guy doesn’t age! I love it!!!!!!!! God bless!
Il est toujours aussi sexy et magnétique, et sa voix est magnifique. 😘

He is 85? Looks 60. What does he take? Age antidote?
He wants to live forever. He follows Ray Kurzweil
Haha.
Does William Shatner wear in Japan yesterday does anybody

SHATNER IS MAKING A VERY VERY GOOD POINT
IF YOU CANT TEST IT
IT AINT SCIENCE
ACTUALLY A MORE CORRECT WAY OF LOOKING AT THAT WOULD BE IF YOU CANT TEST IT THERE MIGHT BE A REASON LIKE OUR SCIENCE ISNT ADVANCED ENOUGH TO TEST IT. EVERYONE FALLS FOR EVOLUTION BUT OBSERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW IN SCI METHOD. NO ONE HAS EVER OBSERVED 98 PERCENT OF WHAT EVOLUTION DICTATES. SO IS EVOLUTION SCIENCE OR NOT>?
David D you can test it
roman14032 no you cannot. Evolution is a narrative. Its Liberals Arts. It IS NOT SCIENCE.
You all are fucking idiots.
Ive never been to Australia therefor it doesnt exist? idiots. think about what your saying.There is such a thing as scientific EVIDENCE.

I think that's just his personality. But, still, he played that kind of character on the show

Um captain Kirk......there is something that seems to be circling around Uranus
The host pretty much had it right, about space time.

Adult swim in the world
omg the audience are more geaky than Big Bang Theory, exact stereotype of Trekkies 😯
Khan Disliked this video
MonkeyZorr Why?
Shatner also can't grasp the idea of Peter Puffing......
he is forgetting all...
I read Hawking's first two books in high school and understood them completely (geneous that I am). Shatner: loser! I see his beer gut is increased. He should have been called the 'the Big Giant Gut from the 5th Dimension' on 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Well he is Captain fucking Kirk after all. He deserves that big ego.
I agree. I don't really like people with big egos like Shatner or Roger Waters, but I do like their work. I just prefer real, down to earth celebrities like James Doohan & Deforest Kelly were.
