I'm 55 and still watch Old episodes of Star Trek to this day.
Me too, I'm 57 and watched one just yesterday on Netflix "Operation annihilate" where the flying amoeba attacks Spock and puts him in tremendous pain until Spock says "Pain is a thing of the mind and can be controlled"
The Heroes and Icons channel airs five hours of Star Trek six days a week.
@@JAGUART Me too. Classic series is a must! a miracle in my opinion.
Yeah, well I watched them when they were first aired and still watch Old episodes. I'm 75.
Well, I'm 58 and do the same. Bought the entire original series on DVD.
In my eyes what separates Star Trek in the 60s from all other entries in the franchise is the colorful cinematography. The colors are intense, bright and they remind of comic book coloring.
It was a time when COLOR TVs were the rage, and the colors were great for a color-blind kid.
And the sounds that the ship makes border on musical.
That color palette (you also see it in the contemporary Batman series) isn't just about the show being "colorful", on a B&W TV each color is distinct. Color TV didn't hit the majority of households in the US until the early 1970s.
The colorful cinematography was present in a lot of 1960s TV shows. Batman included. Because as I understand color TV was a new thing back then and they were showing off
@@KonElKentRight I don't think we had color tv before 1976.
Hard to believe that William Shatner recently celebrated his 87th birthday. Fantastic to see him in that chair again.
I swear to god he stopped aging 20 years ago
StolenEyes ..
I really hope Shatner accepts Jesus Christ as his savior at his age! Not all roads lead to heaven and he can go at any time now!
Robd collector And lo, the beatific countenance of our Lord Jesus Christ fell upon that of The Shatner. And with boundless joy in his heart, declared... “Hi, Dad!” 😉
@Joe Horn Besides Kirk took on God and won! Killing off gods is all in a days work for Captain Kirk. Well that and destroying A.I. computers with god complexes. It's a wonder that Kirk never did fry the Enterprise computer. Spock and Scotty must be really beefing up the Anti Malware for the ship.
He sang, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!☺️
William Shatner will forever and ever be our beloved Captain Kirk. Good to see him in 'the chair' again, looking great and his mind as sharp as a tack. He answered the same questions he's been asked hundreds of times with patience and grace.
some of the questions were so stupid and repetitive ..poor guy
@@spoonerpurple I wish he could have answered who his childhood heroes was instead. He to me lit up when that question was asked and then he had to answer it when he was doing the Star Trek TV show instead.
I just know he had to be tempted a few times to say, "GET A LIFE!" But instead said, "GET OUT!" 😆
You know Covid, people have their dreams and their heroes. I wouldn't begrudge them for that. It makes them happy and harms nobody.
It nice to see William Shatner celebrating his birthday with a still very sharp mind sitting on the famous chair. But I like very much how he has compared the adventures of Captain Hornblower, (written by Forrestal that both me and my late father was avidly reading!) to those of Captain Kirk as basically it was very similar! Good going 👍👍
I’m surprised the redshirt in the background made it through the whole interview. !
But..but..immediately following this interview he was reduced to a cube!
@@aftacomics5865 and then the cube was stepped on...
IKR
He was the first person I saw and I'm like we have a dead man walking here.
BEST comment this year.
It would drive me crazy to answer the same old questions for almost 60 years. Good job holding yourself together and not beating these reporters to death with Sulu's chair.
That man is a national treasure.
Did he ever become a US citizen or is he a duel citizen? If so he would be a double National Treasure of the US and Kanuckia.
Nope...still remains Canadian only.
He is only man. Just because he played a great character does not necessarily mean he is great. Man of his co-workers did not like him at all.
@@exexpat11 In typical usage, a duel is something you fight, while something dual is something composed of two parts.
@@exexpat11 While people can do have dual citizenship it's technically a violation of your US citizenship, in practice the US rarely enforces that but it legally meaningless in US jurisdiction.
The greatest captain in the universe, i love William Shatner.
Although I do understand that he’s an absolute prick to work with
Capt Crunch would be a close race.
@Covidarius Jackson really? sounds illogical.
You're not the only one.
The only hands on captain not Picard not sisko not Janeway shatner rules
Star Trek lives on because the episodes were well told stories, well filmed, involving characters we cared about and set in exciting times and totally unfamiliar settings.
...and they were morality plays, some based upon ancient themes.
Mr. Cawley has done a spectacular job of preserving/re-creating the Enterprise sets.
He’s obviously invested a lot of time and money on it.
Great job, sir! 👍🏽
I'm glad James decided to do the Star Trek New Voyages / Phase II web series prior to the CBS/Paramount crack down. It was a fun watch (possibly my favorite fan series) and lead to the creation of the Set Tour once the limitations were put into place. He had the brilliance to convince CBS/Paramount to authorize the set tour and things went from there.
I love how dedicated he is to the whole thing. Mr. Cawley is a r\ather nice fellow too.
What he should have said when asked how long does he hope Star Trek will go on is this: I hope it goes on until it becomes a reality. 👍
The acting , the stories, the production staff and the feeling like your really out there. Star Trek was an original masterpiece that just can’t be duplicated in my opinion. It was truly a wonderful show with its own personality or charisma. The chemistry was all there, everything blended into place. Not like these other shows that were confusing to watch. Yes, those were the days. I salute William Shatner and all the past crew members and production staff who made Star Trek a memorable TV show.
Cheese and all, I love this guy and this show. To answer the question as to what made this show popular, epic, and eternal (okay, hyperbole on the last word) is the interaction between Kirk, Spock and McCoy and to a lesser extent the other crew members. They were and still are some of the best literary (or film) characters ever created.
William Shatner is a brilliant guy and he plays the cheese very well when he has to.
@@LiveINtheGood53 , not only brilliant, but also very active these days.
Gene is watching this and hopefully smiling and enjoying the fact that his creation still lives on in the hearts of millions around the world, and is still inspiring young minds to this day...
Dead people know nothing.
@@coloradostrong Actually quantum physics provides compelling evidence to indicate that time is circular and not linear...Or how about the strong belief among many physicists that there is a multiverse and that reality is a conscious illusion, as is death? Your statement seems final and certain which is ok but in the science world nothing is certain. An open mind is a mind that grows.
It’s like that scene with Kirk on the bridge of the enterprise B answering questions from the press. Quite surreal.
Dread to Think exactly my thoughts. Double fun if you consider that this very set was Harriman's bridge on Of Gods and Men.
@@JackPonissi MY THOUGHT TOO...
I thought the same, down to the similar questions. "How does it feel to be back on the Enterprise bridge?" "Can you say 'Take us out'?"
My gosh, I had the same thoughts...
Brought a tear to me eye!
Bill is like the energizer bunny, and king midas rolled into one. He is going constantly, and everything he touches turns out great. I recently watched him in a 1961 black and white called Judgement at Nuremberg. This man has had an amazing career. Gods speed for a whole lot more.
He had a role in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
@@j.lietka9406Two episodes. "Terror at 20,000 Feet " and a gambling episode as a newlywed.
@@Jaque1961 right! May The Fourth Be With You!
@Alive&Well right! May The Fourth Be With You!
@@j.lietka9406 You too, ty 🖖
The thing is that Captain Kirk is the embodiment of what every youth wanted to experience as a space explorer and then some. He revealed the good in humanity when faced with the challenges of aliens, technology and space and brought it home for all to see.
The captain would be shocked at how the current regime is doing everything opposite of what he embodies.
@@JetFire9 , just couldn't agree more. Most newcomers to the series production now don't realize that its not just an epic story...Roddenberry had a vision for humanity that was a commentary on how we would improve and be worthy. Instead, its become...well, a Frankenstein monster in some regards.
@@JetFire9 No, they're not.
@@johnvaldez8830 Long as you're watching...and you are.
it's crazy how sharp he is at his age.
At 67, I'm "recording" old episodes as we speak.. Your keeping of Naval traditions, in the new environment fired my imagination. JTK is a man worthy of being followed.. LLandP..
I think its very cool to see him in that chair after these years. If you listen you hear James T Kirk.. All you need are bridge sounds.
It was also cool to see Scotty on the old bridge in an episode of TNG. But seeing Shatner in his old captain's chair is best...even if he's not in character.
Wow, Nice to see him on this set in that chair. He is doing very well for his years. I had an opportunity to sit in the original chair from the 1960s set from the Smithsonian. It was awesome.
1aikane - I am amazed that he didn’t break that chair because of his weight. What a load! Good old Bill!!
vidstar1 He is an excellent actor and a cultural icon. He has not been nominated for sainthood. I met him in the 1990s and he was barely friendly.
Vidstar1Take your hate elsewhere. If you don't like Shatner, then why are you here? You come across as very toxic.
I think I would be too. Not only does he have grumpy old man syndrome but the overwhelming popularity and the fans that have probably bothered him probably made him bitter. plus some ppl just come across as assholes.
@vidstar1 yeah well you shithead I actually did meet him he was nice to me and said happy birthday to me he was chill and down to earth
I was there yesterday, and met the Captain. Amazing experience. If you go there and get a tour of the set, you won't believe it.
Gonna hafta' make the 6hr drive from Niagara Falls to Ticonderoga someday to see this.
@@SilentKnight43 Do it! It is amazing.
@@finnmccool684 It's on the to-do list, for sure.
You've gotta ask yourself just how many times
has William Shatner been asked these same
questions over & over & over again?
I agree. On that set, I see it as on opportunity lost that they didn't ask better more focused questions
All the actors have been asked every possible question about the show. It’s sad that people think they’re going to get a new revelation by asking what their favorite episode was.
In this same fucking interview! 3 minutes apart!
And he is polite and just answers the questions:)
Yep. Over and over and over...
"...a country music album, a christmas album, then a heavy metal and finally a duet with Enya after i am still planning... that is Bill never stop!
Star Trek Continues is an awesome series they did a great job emulating that original era.
Agreed!
Agreed!
@andrepaige9669
Definitely, just finished watching all the episodes. Pretty amazing!
William Shatner is incredible! He's 87 years of age and is still sharp of mind and wit. He has much still left to accomplish.
Why would he not be “sharp of mind and wit?”
@@spiritualjoy721 Because he's 91 pushing 92...
Bill has entertained me for decades. The man is a quintessential professional.
Overjoyed to see our Captain in that chair. And the gentleman standing next to him (with the Elvis hair!:) deserves a giant round of applause for your continued efforts to Keep Star Trek alive. Absolutely loved your movies. Mind Sifter was my favorite book story and you brought it to life. Thank you!
He looks like Herb Alpert circa 1966.
He also looks like the actor Tony Anholt from Space 1999.
abundantYOUniverse Mind Sifter as a story was great, as an episode, better! I would have liked to see it in two parts, draw out the "Kirk in trouble" aspect more.
This could have made a fun episode - Visit to a Weird Planet Revisited is a short story by Ruth Berman, the fourth in the anthology The New Voyages. In this story, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley temporarily switch places with Captain Kirk, Commander Spock and Dr. McCoy while filming Vincent McEveety's The Omega Glory.
Star Trek TOS resonates with people today because of the brilliant casting - The Cast was superb and William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly were at the heart of the show - you can't get around it. Thank you so much Bill - you have brought so much joy into our lives.
Do not forget James Doohan. Many kids embraced a career in engineering because of Mr Scott.
That's his chair. No one else's. Built by a fan, but no one will deny...that chair will always be Cpt. Kirk's chair. This was really cool.
Shat is 92 now! Still kicking it! Bless his longevity!
I was there and got an autograph, very cool event.
Me too. So much fun!
but did you get to SIT in the chair that was STILL WARM from Kirk's butt being there?
I got his autograph when he was in New York Comic Con
$80
Marz10
Well worth it. I know he only doesn't do them for free because of autograph hunters who aren't fans of _Star Trek_ who make a nuisance of themselves chasing celebrities all around L.A. to sell on what autographs they can find of the celebrities they spot.
I’m 71 now....and was 16 when Star Trek came on tv. Heady days for a 16 year old! I’m even a bigger fan now.
Did you name any of your kids Clinton?
@@ejkalegal3145 haha...... no.....THE Clint Eastwood is 88/years old, I think. I’m just a kid of 71.
@@gregoryeastwood9068 lol you are 71 years young and still have many more decades of Star Trek to enjoy! All the best.
Thank You Jason Cawley! Thank You. I'll bet your bucket list is complete.
AMAZING! *owner of the place is the guy in the background with the elvis hair*
Carl Trotter James Cawley, who also did his own version of Kirks (James T and Peter) over the years
He is an Elvis impersonator.
@S D You mean, "He's dead, Jim. Uh huh, uh huh!"
Captain on the bridge!
Can you believe this guy is EIGHTY-SEVEN years old??? 87!!!
He’ll be 90 next March.
@@ARichardP He is amazing.
Im aiming for 65!
Well,.my father died at 90.
@@ARichardP Clint Eastwood is 90. I feel old and I'm only 61.
"I'm home. All of you, off my bridge!" :)
There's something really comforting seeing him in that chair again. That chair is his, and only his.
I have waited almost my entire life to have it confirmed that Horatio Hornblower was the inspiration for Captain Kirk!
Horatio Hornblower was the key! William Shatner and Nicholas Meyer both were impressed by him.
Patrick Stewart only ever had one meeting wqith Gene, he asked him does he have a background for their character ( a written backstory not necessarily discussed on screen but a background of the character) he said yeah and threw him a copy of the book he had in his bag
Set phasers on stun, Captain Kirk is in the house. Also a big big shout out to desilu Studios, for taking a chance on Star Trek. And Gene Roddenberry.
and Lucille Ball, the President of Desilu, who didn't understand the show but was behind it.
The ironic thing is NBC rejected two pilots and the actual show was cancelled after three seasons but more than 50 years later Star Trek enjoys worldwide popularity and our world has been forever changed by its influence. As for Gene Roddenberry its equally puzzling and ironic that he was pushed to the background of the world he created. He started out having complete creative control over Star Trek but he always lost it, both in movies and on television. I'm like a second generation Trekker I guess. My parents were teenagers in 1966. I grew up with the TOS films from the 1980s and I watched TNG during its original run on television. I'm glad Desilu took a chance on Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry too but I feel like kismet is what has made Star Trek go the distance.
Kevin Eagle and isn't that amazing. My grandchildren love Star Trek. And they like the original series because it was that the original.
Ah, back when television that had really long seasons. Game of Thrones can barely come out with 8 a season these days. Other series you'll be lucky if you can squeeze 12 or 13 out of them.
Awesome
The amount of Kirking he's giving the interviewer is amazing. :P
Went there today, not biggest Star Trek fan, but this was a great place to visit. Absolutely awesome what a fan can do with love for the series.!!
89 Years old, just amazing
Thank you Bill.. for visiting and graciously commenting on the set... you're an icon in the Star Trek universe.... TOS forever!
"Can you give us a Kirkism?" LOVE Shatner's response, especially after he's been SO graciously indulgent of this "Bozo Question Thyme" sesh. Respect!
Maybe feeling your mortality has something to do with it. I remember seeing that skit live back in the 70's the first time he was on SNL doing the skit that mocked the Trekkies and he 'lost it' on them. The skit was based on news reports of the time that he ran hot & cold, going back and forth towards ST fans because it seemed to depend on how he was feeling on the given day.
My 1st cousin Carl Biddiscombe was the Set Designer during the initial season of Star Trek in 1966. So great to see Mr. Shatner's reaction to being back in a reproduction of the set my relative originally designed.
I visited the Star Trek set tour last fall. This was a bucket list thing for me. Grew up a fan. Watched the episodes more times than I care to admit. Other than owning a working communicator... the only other thing I always wanted was to walk around the bridge of the Enterprise, and sit in that chair.
It was everything that I'd hoped it would be. I got to sit in that chair, and it was a surreal moment. The view from the chair was like a camera angle I'd never seen before. I felt like I was sitting in a giant bowl of Star Trekkie goodness ("Star Trekkie goodness" is a thing. You should see it.). Oh man... it felt like home. Ok... I AM a dork. So what? Seriously... it's the single coolest thing I've ever seen. The entire set tour was off the chain authentic. They have lots of screen-used memorabilia, too.
For as many times as I've watched the show, and day dreamed about being there... and there I was... standing in those rooms! As you can tell... I enjoyed it thoroughly. Like a dream come true.
Just feels good to see him in the Captain's chair again!
I have seen a lot of interviews with Shatner, and people ask him some of the dumbest questions. He never lets them totally get away with it either.
One would think after so many interviews that people would do their research BEFORE interviewing Shatner rather than ask him so many silly questions -- but, alas, they don't.
@@TroyBarnett To be fair, not every interviewer is an avid trekkie and stays up on every question already asked...so there'll always be cringe questions asked that Shatner's answered a million times.
So many years since William Shatner actually played James T Kirk on the small or big screen in a real film or TV series, but he is still the one and only true Kirk. No one has come anywhere near his presence on screen. Keep boldly going Mr Shatner. You are a true icon. 🖖
Shatner is so great. I love the original episodes. I used to watch them with my dad as a kid, and back then they helped me fall asleep. haha. Today, I'll watch them in amazement of the great stories and the cheap sets. But it's an endearing type of "cheap". Something you can almost feel nostalgic for.
Cawley's fan series is underrated. I love the idea he had for Willaim Windom. I just wish he'd had a larger budget, it was a marvelous concept.
Kudos to Cawley! His Star Trek the New Voyages brought original Trek back to life for me ! Even though he didn't look like Shatner , he captured the "swagger" that Shatner brought to the role !
Concur! His fan series is my favorite out of all of 'em. Star Trek Of Gods and Men and Star Trek Renegades (pilot) is my favorite movie and one up respectively. There was some brilliant work done back then.
I don't know why, but I feel sad for him cause Leonard Nimoy and Deforest Kelly are gone and so many others that were on the show have passed on. I wonder if in 2067 will we still be talking about Star Trek or maybe finally we will have put our anger towards each other aside and started to explore space and see the Enterprise come to pass. Yeah, I'm an Idealist and an Optimist.
And I pray to God that you never change that aspect about yourself. The world needs idealists and optimists. While a cynic will tear down an idea and provide every fault and flaw within it, the men brave enough to dream will overcome them and press onward. If there is a future of peace to be had; when that future comes to pass, it will be because of people like you who dared to say that there's hope.
Dude; You Don’t Even Know the difference between OUR and ARE.!! So I wouldn’t worry about the future Genius.😂🤣😆
..-. ..- 😁
I beg your pardon? What line of grammar are you picking fault with?
It's a troll. You don't need to worry about this person. They're just trying to pick a fight.
Star Trek was on Saturday at 7pm when I was a kid in the '70s. Such great memories!!
He was really great in this, and as T.J Hooker. I'm re watching both right now, and recently noticed just how physical he was for those roles.
I have the complete series on DVD that was a find at 61 I still enjoy seeing it.
"If you want a Kirkism, 'Get Out!'" - Classic. XD
I had the pleasure of having this tour with Mr Shatner last weekend. At 91 he was just as engaging and informative. An experience I will never forget.
He wasn't there a month ago.
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 lol, I have pictures that say otherwise
@@GrammarQuixies he wasn't there
@@danceswithcomicbooks7733 I met William Shatner on July 16 2022 in Ticonderoga NY.
So glad to see him sit in that chair and that of all the actors from the 60's he knows how great it is to get to revisit. Great video.
I don't find the 65 bridge to be that dated. In fact this is the first series that made props that looked like they would really work in a future ship. Flat screen video, personal rectangular pocket phones, digital tablets, numeric displays instead of dials, solid state memory chips, and the conference room centered around the PowerPoint screens... Not To mention the sickbay patient telemetry screens at each bed. They pretty much gave young engineers ideas for their future devices. Excellent prop styling, Vs LostinSpace or even 2001 in spots. I think the bridge update in Wrath from the 80s pretty much nailed the future look, since they had a budget and could put dozens of actual textronix screens at the stations.
The set of The Cage was more of a 50s movie look like Forbidden Planet. The final series set was smooth.
The TNG/DS9 set was a bit over gadgeted. Sort of wallowing in the laptop and video game fads of the era in the late 80s. Remember military ships have tools for purposes, not mere entertainment of the crew while they drink Racktachinos. Tour the bridge of the real USS Enterprise carrier today and compare it to a nerds office or video gaming desk. You'll see.
S Tho fascinating 👋
Navy CIC's were later based on the TOS Bridge. Although... most faced backwards for some reason behind and lower that the actual Bridge. A center area where the TAO or Captain could take all the information in from the different Departments; Radar, Sonar, EW, Communications, Damage Control, Fire Control, etc.
frankly any show that covers this era of trek should be treated as a period piece
Very similar to the first part of 'Star Trek: Generations' (1994), even up to the part where they all press Kirk to say "Take us out"...
lol the woman here is even abit like the Ent B press woman in her mannerisms. like to think there was a brief moment amongst all the hoohah/excitement of him there that Shatner paused for just a couple of seconds and looked about the bridge, all the memories flooding back, like that bit in Generations just b4 Chekov introduces him to sulus daughter
To the extent that it’s spooky...
Wow!
I noticed its mainly women that hate him. some men aren't fond of him but the hate is in the women. I guess he slept with too many alien women and made a bad first impression.
The original Star Trek episodes will always live in the hearts of those who actually grew up watching this amazing series.
I watched Star Trek in the 60’s as a young kiddo. Captain Kirk is #1 to me forever.
I think the overall positivity and the way the people were integrated, the idea that things were going to be OK in the future, and the imaginative stories mad the show immortal. The great trio of Kirk, Spock, and Bones also contributed the its success.
It's amazing how they still own the original set of the old series just as it looked back in the 60s well preserved over all these years...
Its a replica built about 15 years ago
The original sets were mostly junked after the series ended. Some odd pieces survive in private collections. This is a completely new copy of the layout that existed in Stage 9 at Desilu.
That woman is my Yeoman Rand.
THIS IS WHAT TRUE LEGEND LOOKS LIKE. THANK YOU FOR THE UP LOUD. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.
Captain Kirk I want to say thank you sir I love star trek I watch it all the time I think I have watch every show of all the star trek shows i hope there be more star trek shows to come in the near future we love you take care Captain Kirk
4:47 "Cheesy set..." 1960's television sets (receivers) did not have the high resolution that modern sets do. The cheesiness only becomes visible when viewed on modern equipment. The original 525 line ntsc analog tv signal hid many sins, and the set looked much better. Many things that people find problematic now were simply invisible then. This from someone who saw it both when originally broadcast and in high definition.
And yet, that same "cheesiness" can be eliminated with different lighting.
@@filthycasual8187 Why bother with the extra effort if the viewers at home couldn't tell the difference?
As you said, had the definition been higher, they would've worried about those kind of things. It's similar to local news stations when they switched over to newscasts in HD ten years ago. All the faux marble and other cheap stuff on set had to be switched out for higher-end materials before the move to hi-def.
At the Smithsonian, I saw TOS props and set pieces that were obviously just painted wood, with rather garish colors. I also TNG set pieces with subtly colored, beautiful details that simply never showed up through the camera. Honestly, the more crudely made and brightly colored props (like the data cards, which were painted pieces of wooden coping) just looked so much better on film.
Whoever she is she’s a fricking Hottie!! And a Treckie!! I’m in love!!
What an awesome interview 53 years old and no one can come close to William Shatner as Captain Kirk . I would have told him to live long an prosper ... ☺️ peace an blessings to you Captain Kirk ...
i'm in heaven, just to see my childhood hero which still stands to this day sitting in that captain's chair on bridge of the Entreprise of the original set is like a dream come true. Wow, what I would give to be there right beside him and to here him say, ``Steady as she goes Mr Sulu``. There's nothing is this whole universe that for me would ever top that, there would never be a better day.
I swear, that guy stopped aging 20 Years ago!
face lift, touppe and a spray tan, does wonders
well, my point is it dosent take much to look good. ive known terminal cancer patients who managed to look like a million bucks
Daniel Ellington I highly doubt that he hasnt done anything to his hair, be it transplant or wig since he was thinning already in the 60´s when he originally played captain Kirk. He is 87 BTW according to Wikipedia.
Steve Riddle He is 87 actually.
He's also got a dynamite attitude and stays active and has fun.
There's only one captain and that's William Shatner.
You may recall Spock in Next Generation making a comment to Picard about "cowboy diplomacy"... really, Kirk was too cavalier. Doesn't mean I didn't like the character but Star Fleet would only have promoted him in wartime. Prime Directives were ignored too many times.
I still love the original series and cast, with out them there wouldn't be any Star Trek. Still looks fantastic for 87. He actually made it into space.
you can see it in he eyes he love it there he look like he was enjoyed it
For me, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy 'IS' Star Trek.
*are
Hell yes!
Да Пикар тоже заебись товарищ
Kirk and Picard, the true Star Trek Captains.
They are the best 👍👍
That was actually painful to watch. When he said Get Out at the end, he wasn't kidding.
It was. Total cringe.
Watched it originally as a 12yr old on Thursday’s nights., Then went to school the next day, and all the guys in class checked with one another if they seen it also. It was a great show for so many of us. Now, thanks to DVD, I can watch it whenever I want.
I have always loved shatner..and the series and movies..I wish they would have had him cameo some of the newer movies...at 87 he looks spectacular...
Looks like they have The Fonz, too! :-D
This interview reminds of Star Trek: Generations when Captain Kirk came back aboard on the enterprise and the press was there lol
I always liked that original bridge of the Enterprise. I never get tired of watching that original series. A show that that truly broke ground.
This is so cool! I too grew up watching Star Trek repeats and later the movies. Good stuff. Shatner never fails to entertain.
#1 greatest star trek captain. A genuinely good hearted dude. Fighting for our freedoms against cancel culture. Well done Bill... 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Youre calling yourself a Prophet? Should I laugh or should I cry?
"If you build it they will come"
Thanks for posting.
This is amazing. Thanks for posting.
I got the chance to see the sets and tour with James C. He and his crew have done a fantastic job on recreating the sets. He even did a great job on the fan films that unfortunately the powers that be put an end too.
the end of fan films thing mustve sucked for him, but then again out of that this great exhibition was no doubt born (and Shatner visiting wouldn't have happened otherwise)
That hissy fit by the powers cost them at least one viewer of future official Trek. Of course, that's easy to do now, since ST:D is crap.
Amen to that. Watcher since 1972. No more. All my Trek is Pre STD.
CBS will eat their dirty sho on that decision. They should have been able to release axanar alongside whatever other properties people wanted to produce.
Joel Klimkowski hell, CBSAA could have licensed Axanar and made a ton of money, and made as close to original ST as possible in music, sets and costuming.
My head canon: ST: TAS, STC, STP2 are years 4-5 of the 5 year mission and Axanar is the prequel to TOS.
Proof that they can still make this bridge design and make it well. No excuse for STD.
making a set that looks like an old 60's show doesn't mean it would work on television. Hollywood Legal Politics are the excuse for DSC. No franchise should ever be split between two different studios. Nothing good EVER comes from that.
Amen. That's the reason I still can't collect all the Hammer films I want.
GRow up
K1productions I agree
Cant stand T'shitface and the other klingons....
Ever since I had heard about the Star Trek The Original Series Set Tour I have wanted to go to it in Ticonderoga NY. It is great to see this video of William Shatner sitting in a reconstruction of the Conn chair that he sat in as Captain James T Kirk on board of the bridge of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from those wonderful episodes.
Had an amazing time! What a great time and will be going back!
87 or so years old?? He is beyond sharp and looks amazing. Very small number of people that age are so on top of things, he comes across as 60.
Fantastic. I want to go to Ticonderoga!
Go there. It's amazing.
Thanks for this upload! Love my Shatner! He is amazing...and sharp as a tack! Proof positive that the more you stay "engaged" with life... the longer you live it to its fullest :)
This is priceless not to mention the set isn't too far away from where I live. I still watch the original series. It's what I grew up with. It's always going to be a part of my make up. Thanks Bill for showing up. 😎👍🇺🇸
Awkward how actors can no longer say that Star Trek inspires people with its warmth, optimism and humour.
Put him back in the captains chair and let him tear up the galaxy one more time
This man is EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS OLD!!! He looks GREAT !!! SO fantastic he is able to still get around and do what he wants to do. He seems TIRELESS and nearly 20 years younger than his actual age. So happy for him.
what an honor what an honor to have him sit on that chair👍
This shows open the mind to so much imagination especially for us
To boldly go where no man has gone before
