Why have a title to entice us? We expected deep space missions exploring some strange stuff...
"We" (well me/I as I don't try to speak for EVERYONE unlike the above Poster) expected STAR TREK - and if you actually ever really watched STAR TREK (not TNG et. al.) but STAR TREK - it's exactly what SNW has been doing.

ETA:

The Berman era managed to come up with fresh ideas...
:guffaw:

The "Fresh" ideas of:

- William T. Riker = William Dekker from ST: TMP

- The Android Data = The Android from the TV Pilot The Questor Tapes; which GR wrote the story for.

- The Empath Deanna Troi = Lt. Ilya from ST: TMP.

And hell Tasha Yar was supposed to be TNG's take on Space Marine Vasquez from the film Aliens.

And let's not forget The Naked Now :barf:

The in Season 2 we get the female clone of Dr. Leonard McCoy in Dr. Katherine Pulaski who EXACTLY like McCoy in an "POld Country Doctor" who hates Transporters; and with whom the wanted to recreate the McCoy Spock dynamic from TOS using Pulaski and Data, except (unlike Spock), Data was more innocent, trusting and always believed the best in people, so he didn't respond to Pulaski like Spock did to McCoy' so she came across as just a bigoted bully.

Yep out of the gate Berman era Trek was wholly original...oh. wait...

:guffaw:

Why did he need to mention it again? It was a couple months were he had amnesia and it all ended badly. Why would he be talking about it for a whole 3 decades? He was a starfleet captain the best in the fleet. That was his life.
His life was one of loss and never mentioning loss again, yet when a man from when he is 4 years old reappears his first thought is revenge? :wtf:

How is it possible to be so separated? :vulcan:

Not that Trek writers so a good job but man the callousness of it is inconsistent with how Kirk is presented in other episodes.
 
Well - Someone showed William Shatner:

And overall for the most part I agree with William Shatner: "It's an insult...". :shrug:

ETA:
The ABOVE IS 'FAKE' per se - No, Shatner isn't reacting to that actual clip from SNW - it's a composite of stuff from an earlier interview about other Parodies of him playing Kirk.

That's on me for not doing any real due diligence regarding the video itself.

Bill's reactions in this video are taken from an interview he did for Vanity Fair a few years ago (it's actually one of the links at the end of the clip). He was reacting to various impressions of him from over the years but this episode definitely wasn't one of them, since it didn't exist at the time of recording.

Also, it's quite obvious Shatner is doing a bit. He's demonstrated multiple times in the past that he's more than willing to take the piss out of himself, especially as he grows older. I'm pretty sure he'd enjoy this episode, and especially Wesley's thinly-veiled parody of him.

Beat me to it. Yeah Shatner is not that fat anymore. That is video of him from like 5 or more years ago. I wish people would not make videos like that. Everyone is saying....Look how great Shatner looks for 94. When he is actually like 85 ... 😂
 
Seven movies over three decades.

Well I don't see why it would have to be mentioned again especially in the movies... We all know that back in the 60's leading men on TV shows rarely got married or stayed married. Every Cartwright on Bonanza had at least half a dozen dead girlfriends or wives each... 😂

Just the way it was. Shows were more self contained episodes back then. So people could just get in on any episode. So they rarely had episodes that would reference each other. There weren't many two part eps either..I think Bonanza had like two of them it's entire 14 year run.

Ack - that's my bad.
