Why not just bring back Kirk before Star Trek XI?

You don't understand why it's inappropriate to wish for a beloved (to many) actor to DIE, so his more fanatical fans stop with the incessant whining about bringing him back for this movie? I've never been a fan of Shatner, and I could care less about him being in the movie. But I can't imagine wishing the guy to die just so we don't have more threads with people trying to come up with silly reasons to put him in the movie.

But like Trujew said, its the only way this stupid speculation will end. Just because he made the role doesnt mean he needs to be in any production with Star Trek in the title. Nothing is more sad and pathetic than fans that keep holding onto an image of an actor thats 40 years old. Kirk is dead. Enough of the whining nostalgia
 
Yes, it's the only way for the stupid speculation to end, but I don't want it to end badly enough that I hope Shatner DIES. That just took it too far for me. Plus these "Bring Back Shatner" people don't need any more fuel to turn themselves into martyrs. :p
 
I hope Yeffrey will die soon, so I don't have to wince whenever I read his insensitive and crass comments. Also, since the "Bring Back Kirk" crowd seems to cause him so much unrest, it will be the only time that he can truly find peace.

And assuming Yeffrey practices what he preaches, he will not find my comment in any way inappropriate. :thumbsup:

Same goes for Trujew, but with a "Sadly" in front. ;)

Thanks for your thoughts with me. Having 1 person thinking about me in a negative way is much better than that person not thinking of me at all. Ego +1

i did start off with "Sadly" So that absolves me from getting any joy out of you dying, though the lack of comments like this would be a bonus.

Sorry if I look at the pros of certain situations

LMAO Thanks for the thought. I should hope I dont need to remind you that we have the right to free speech. Isnt it nice that you can say whatever you want no matter what anyone else thinks about it? Does anyone really think Ill lose sleep over the fact they dont like me?
 
You know, it's nice that Trek fans only consist of toadying Shatner worshippers and those who would wish death upon him just to shut the other bunch up, isn't it?

I'm so glad that all of us who exist in the middle and have subtle likes and dislikes don't exist.

I mean - how could we?

Only in certain countries.

And never at a privately-owned message board.

Does anyone really think Ill lose sleep over the fact they dont like me?

Based on your comments here today, I'm guessing that you've had to grow accustomed to it.

I should hope I don't need to remind you that freedom of speech only protects you from the government. Anyone else, especially a privately-owned message board, can censor and shut down any other man, woman, or child they feel like keeping quiet. Much like what I expect to happen to this thread by the end of the day. :bolian:

Your post doesnt bother me a bit, so please keep trying.
 
Oh no! I dont like Shatner! Quick, shut me up before I spread my opinion! On a Star Trek board no less!

It would seem that a lot of things that should bother you, don't.

Thankfully, you're not my problem.

You can wish death on whomever you like, for all I care. And then crank up the tacky ennui and talk about how you don't care that nobody likes you. That, a beret, and a cigarette ought to get you a date if you hang out at the right Starbucks and play your cards right.
 
Long and short of it: Shatner is a terrible actor and doesnt need to be in the new movie. Long live re-imaginings

As was stated above, the issue isn't with Shatner hating. It is with "I hope he dies" commentary.

Geez, this thread is on a never-ending loop, except we get a new twist thrown in every dozen or so posts.

Please do tell me what should bother me?

:guffaw: So you do have a sense of humor

:rolleyes: I have no problem expressing my opinion on this board about Shatner, and I don't like him very much either. Hell, I started a thread awhile ago asking: Who else doesn't want him in the movie? Yet, my dislike for Shatner was never something that went so absurdly deep, that I'd hope for the actor to die to shut up his more fanatical fans. Don't try to play "martyr" role either please. It's just as annoying when rabid anti-Shatner people do it too.

Maybe I do have something in common with Mr. Shatner, after all.

When I was growing up I wanted to be just like Captain Kirk. And now I'm 34 years old with a receding hairline. Looks like I got my wish...

OT, but I covet your avatar.
