After last Monday’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, Chuck Lorre posted the above Vanity Card with some fighting words towards William Shatner and directing skills in Star Trek 5. We all know that William Shatner likes to post his battles on YouTube, so will he go after Chuck Lorre for the comments he made on the show and on the Vanity Card. Maybe Chuck Lorre should offer him a peace offering and have him guest star on TBBT as himself at a comic book convention that the boys go to. In fact maybe Lorre should even send a peace pipe to George Takei, to get him on the show too and have Captain Kirk and Mr Sulu kiss and make up and all will be well in the Enterprise. How awesome would that be?
BTW here is the hysterical clip where the writers of The Big Bang Theory mock Star Trek 5 and Shatner’s directing abilities…
If you think that clip is funny, tune into the brilliantly funny Big Bang Theory tonight and every Monday on CBS at 8p!
Months after George Takei announced that he wasn’t inviting William Shatner to his wedding, Captain Kirk is responding to Sulu’s diss. I think we all assumed that because Star Trek has such a lasting appeal that we thought their friendships were the same way. As Shatner describes it, appearances were just for show and it has been over 40 years ago and the actors didn’t cross paths much back in the day when the show was filmed.
So which one are you siding with? I am biased towards Shatner because I love Boston Legal!
UPDATE: George Takei responded to William Shatner on his site:
“It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend. It is our hope that at this point he joins us in voting NO on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in California.”
–George Takei, October 22, 2008
I don’t know who to believe anymore…Beam me up, Scotty…
In all seriousness if you live in California and you are over 18, please Vote NO on Prop 8!
William Shatner responded to J.J. Abrams’ explanation why the original Captain Kirk is not in the new Star Trek. I believe Shatner on this one. Star Trek takes place in the future and you are going to tell me they can’t figure out how to resurrect someone by then?
Personally I don’t think you can have Star Trek movie with Spock and not Captain Kirk too, but that is just me.

I feel the same way about Rene as William Shatner, I am so going to miss him on Boston Legal. The cool thing about hearing William Shatner give his thought is now I know how to pronounce Auberjonois. I also loved what he said about John Laroquette being so damn tall. The Night Court cast was one of the tallest casts in sitcom history, so it was so funny to hear him say that. Shatner seems like such a down to earth guy, it makes me want to watch Boston Legal more! Last thought on this, I just love Shatner and James Spader together on BL their chemistry is some of the best I have ever seen on TV!
ABC has decided to shut down production and pull the plug on the six additional episodes it recently ordered of the William Shatner-hosted game show, Show Me The Money. ABC confirmed Friday morning it currently has seven more episodes of the show already in the can, and as of now plans on finishing that run and airing those episodes through January, but has decided against the additional order. The show averaged just a 1.6 rating/5 share in the adult 18-49 demo Wednesday night at 8, hitting a new series low and falling 16% from its previous airing. ABC had announced earlier this month it would pick up six additional episodes and move the show to Tuesdays at 8 beginning January 2. That is the timeslot in which the remaining installments will run in January. Show Me The Money is produced by Endemol USA.
