William Shatner really should get a quick cameo at the end of Trek 11. It would be good business, a Blast, and it would warm everyone's hearts. Let's face it he is not 21 anymore. With Deforest Kelley and James Doohan both unfortunatly gone it will only be a matter of time before another of the Legendarty cast ....
So let's get in at least one quick cameo of the Great One. It would be a Benchmark in the film . It would just be priceless to see Kirk rejuvenated through an off camera plot device sitting there reviewing his old Starfleet Log entries from his old Command. Having him appear un announced in an updated Uniformn would just bring the house down. There was an Old Cary Grant film in which he played a World War 2 Submarine Commander who as an Admiral comes back to see his first command on the day the old sub is to be scrapped. Like a book end Cary Grant played an older Admiral Matt Shermann sitting at his desk in his old quarters. The story poignantly fades into the past when he opens his old Logbook . The story ends when he ends reading his logbook and he pauses at a picture of his old sub in the old days. He carefully, respectfully and gently closes the logbook and puts it down. The next shot involves him walking off the sub one last time.
In this case seeing an older and fully active Captain James T. Kirk aboard his new Command the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-F would just bring the house down. It would be a Box Office Hit beyond words !
