So I'm watching "the captains" on tv and it seems to me that William shatner doesn't like Kate mulgrew much because he just argues with her a lot of the time and I dont think she was saying anything wrong or trying to make him mad. It just seemed to me that he just didn't like her much. Any thoughts on this?
The captains.
- Thread starter Lorthos
- Start date
The obvious thought was that this is probably a more appropriate topic for the General Trek Discussion forum, so I'll send it over that way now.
Everyone hold onto your drinks...
Damn! Mine spilled.
You owe me a Denobulan Sunrise.

Drinks? There were drinks being served??
Anyway, William Shatner is generally regarded as difficult (especially by those who know him). I think that's what was coming out during his time with Kate Mulgrew in "The Captains". They were together onstage at the Vegas Creation con recently and seemed as though they enjoyed each other very much. Although after The Shat grabbed her ass in front of all those people, Mulgrew did refer to him as "an irritant".

He does love the sound of his own voice, that's for sure. I thought it was great when he was at Avery Brooks house, Avery comes across like he actually is on another planet and Shatner just did not have a clue how to handle him, not many of us would. He'd ask what he thought was a good question and Brooks would just start playing more of the piano, classic.
(shatner) So how was life after DS9?
(Brooks) Well you see now I see life as life and so does life see life as life *insert insane laugh* (Brooks hits random keys on piano)
(Shatner) *nervous chuckle*
One thing that stuck out at me was Shatner's assertion to Mulgrew that its impossible for a woman to do the job that He, Stewart, Brooks, and Bakula did.
To which she responded: "Obviously, its not impossible as I did it."

True. It just came across as incredibly sexist.
That's exactly what I thought.
So was it good then? I still have to see it somehow!
The Brooks interview sounds hilarious!
Hell, so does the one with Katey...

^ It was much better than I anticipated if that tells you anything. Particularlly his heartfelt conversation with Patrick.
True on both counts, although I would say Shatner's characterization of Denny Crane was probably most of his own personality (the epitome of egotism).
I don't have cable and wish I could have caught this whole program. I've only seen a few segments that were posted on YouTube. I sure hope it is eventually accessible through regular broadcast TV.
UPDATE: You can get a free trial with EpixHD. With this, you'll have access to their content for some days... and this will allow you to watch "The Captains".

I couldn't agree more. I thoroughly enjoyed it and that makes me all the more excited for the documentary he's now working on about the fans!
