Scott Bakula loves Star Trek

[Willow]

One thing I'm confident that we do agree on is that - not unlike Scott Bakula - we too, love STAR TREK. And it's interesting to see a STAR TREK actor with those kinds of sentiments, when it's not really required. I mean, Shatner's never professed "loving" STAR TREK, but he certainly felt entitlement regarding the Captain Kirk character and he was allowed to feel that, well into old age. .

Agreed. When it comes to advocacy of the Trek franchise, not to mention championing Ent, there is no comparison between Scott and Shat. Shat has always appeared to me to be out for what he can get, Trek be damned.

Among Trek actors, Scott, along with the late (and always great) Leonard Nimoy, and perhaps one or two others, were and are, may be Trek's greatest spokesmen. +

I agree. All one has to do is watch Shatner's interview with Bakula on his "Captains" DVD to see the difference between the two men. (I can't remember the correct DVD title at the moment...)Heck, Mulgrew's interview of Shatner was kind of the "icing on the cake " that showed that DVD was basically a Shatner vanity project.

I agree that some of the Mulgrew interview in "Captains" was embarrassing (along with Avery Brooks' endless musical improvisations). If you haven't seen it, the sequel documentary "Captains Close Up" uses a little of the same footage but is a lot more serious and in depth (and longer). It's definitely the better buy.
