Should Shatner be balding, with white hair, in ST12??

Spock was grey in ST11.

Perhaps shatner should be?

Would he go bald, for a film?

I don't think that'll work. Spock was grey because he was from the future, and Kirk died in Generations. So if they follow this, they would somehow have to bring him into the film from the 23rd century timeline. I think Shatner was partial grey in Generations, though...
 
Shatner said that they would have a problem , putting him in the film with the way he looked, now. Why not go the whole hog and have him grey?
 
Kirk's hair went white in 'The Deadly Years'.

I think it could make ST12 more viable and realistic. A few streaks of grey, at least, wouldn't go amiss??
 
Kirk is dead in the 24th century. He's young in the 23rd. So I'm a bit confused as to where this grey-haired bald Kirk is supposed to be coming from.
 
He's coming from the fact that Shatner wants to be in the film, but is 78 and looks a lot different even to the way he was in ST7.

Well, he could come from the future of the new timeline, in which Generations might not take place (I can hear cheers from everyone who hated the seventh film, although I liked it myself).
 
Well, it could still be part of the current new timeline, and not another alternate.

Having said that, I personally have no interest in seeing any time travel in upcoming films, and I have no real desire to see an old Kirk show up being played by Shatner. I'd rather they just get down to the business of exploring some strange new worlds.
 
He could have a mane of thick, white, virile, hair or grey white hair.

My great uncle had hair like that, and he was still 'handy', even when he was 69.
 
If Shatner-Kirk shows up in the alrerna timeline he should be naked the entire time. Not cause I want to see him that way, but just to prove a point... orginial Kirk will STILL be banging green chicks no matter how old he is or what dimension he is in.
 
He COULD come back as an active, dynamic, 150-year-old, rather than an 80-year-old Shatner?

Somehow, I'm guessing, nobody here likes the idea:(

I think it's a good one. It woulld get around the aging issue and give him 70 years of slack!
 
What's so strange about the idea?

They did it with De Kelley in Encounter.

Shatner has said they have some problems with fitting him in, the way he looks now. Why not make him a snowy haired action man??
