William Shatner received a lot of criticism when he failed to cancel a prior engagement to attend Leonard Nimoy’s funeral last year. They were rivals when Star Trek was on the air in the 1960s but bonded and became firm friends while attending early Star Trek conventions. It was a friendship that endured for almost … Continue reading...
Last week, I posted about William Shatner’s The Captains documentary being up on Netflix.
I found another documentary created by Shatner on Netflix, which is definitely worth watching, especially if you’re a Next Gen fan – Chaos On The Bridge. It appears to be available in most Netflix regions.
Chaos runs for just under … Continue reading...

Here are some vintage interviews with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy from the mid to late 1960s, during the period when The Original Series was still being filmed. Shatner’s costume in the first video suggests the interview took place during shooting on the What Are Little Girls Made Of? episode.

Back in 2008, William Shatner started another venture: his Raw Nerve series where he interviewed various personalities. This wasn’t like the light interviews you get on late-night talk shows in the USA, but featured probing questions whose answers provided great insight into the characters and motivations of the person being interviewed.
On January 6th, 2009, … Continue reading...
UPDATE: As several people have pointed out, this is actually not a “lost” scene from the “In Thy Name” Star Trek: Phase II pilot from 1977 (despite the description on the YouTube video page) but a scene from the 1974 movie Pray For The Widcats. The yellow and red shirts do look very Trek-esque … Continue reading...
