Kirk back one last time

[A beaker full of death]

Sorry, I just get a thrill seeing the man back in that uniform.

 

[Metryq]

Denny Crane!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

Loved his shtick at the Oscars!

 

[sbk1234]

For an octagenarian, he looks pretty good in uniform.

 

[Ronald Held]

Any chance this is not the last appearence of James T Kirk?

 

[BillJ]

That uniform looks terrible though. They couldn't have spent a few bucks to make it fit a little better?

 

[Pavonis]

Why was Shatner at the Oscars? What was the point of it? I know MacFarland is a Trek fan (didn't he appear as an extra in ENT?), but Shatner, at the Oscars? WTF?

 

[marksound]

Good to see Shat back in uniform, but the bit was way too long.

And the undershirt collar looked dirty.

 

[Greg Cox]

Forget saving the whales. Kirk saved the Oscars!

WTF is the fitting response to your post.

 

[Pavonis]

Oh, really? So I don't understand why Shatner, lately a TV actor, was dressed up as a character he hasn't played in years for an event that he wasn't really fit for. So, what was it, a weird Trek joke?

I actually can't stand musicals...
(who ever felt depressed or got stabbed, and felt the need to burst into song anyway?)

...but that had me roaring with laughter.

I'm glad Kirk came back to save the Oscars ceremony.



Now go back and do the U.S.S. Kelvin too please...

Oh wait. It's only a movie.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Damn but he's fat in that uniform.

 

[Ovation]

Meh. At his age, he can be as fat as he wants. I just want to know whether this was a predestination paradox, a classic travel within his own timeline, the creation of an alternate timeline or a Kirk from a timeline where he didn't meet Picard in the Nexus, or…

 

[Greg Cox]

Or maybe it was actually the evil Kirk from the Mirror Universe . . . .

 

[Dick Whitman]

I saw on Facebook that the Okudas provided the images on the screens behind him. Also that this is his uniform from Generations.

 

[Noname Given]

Damn but he's fat in that uniform.

The man will be 82 years old in March 2013. Assuming you make it to that age, who knows who good you'll look (hell, who knows if you'll be ambulatory?)

It was a decent bit.

 

[BillJ]

Also that this is his uniform from Generations.

I'm not so sure. It looks really cheap in comparison to the one he wore in Generations.

 

[Ovation]

Good cinematography can make a lot of "cheap things" look really good onscreen. Clearly that degree of effort was not put into last night's skit.

 

[Captain Nebula]

Any chance this is not the last appearence of James T Kirk?

I take it you're not aware of the new movie coming out this year?

Or were you referring to Shatner's Kirk?
