I will say when people lose weight like he just has that's often a bad sign, so.. We'll see. Bit concerned but he's basically made it. I just hope he outlives that bastard Takei.
The weight loss is really the first time where I thought he was actually looking old. But he still seems amazingly spry for 95.
Chubby people like him usually live longer than Nimoy types that you can't tell really. Or at least are visibly as 'aged'. The ozempic mess going on is going to age a ton of celebs and has already. Usually sudden weight loss is due to cancer of some sort at nearly any age, but especially over 65. So again we'll see. And yeah, Takei's been bone thin forever. But japs sometimes go on and on that way.
Look, I'm just saying, if there was ever a vain 95 year-old that OD's on Ozempic in the futile attempt to look a little bit younger, it'll be Bill fucking Shatner.
True lol. I hope he isn't on that at that age. I imagine it's not a good outcome but, but the dude's a legend and I hope he makes it over 100. I never got to meet him but had chances, kinda sucks.
I still think that DS9 missed a trick by not putting Dorn in TOS Klingon makeup in Trials and Tribble-Ations.
They did a long break from Nemesis to 09. Really, 20 years, that means nobody in that lineup is going to be viable at all. Star Wars and Trek need a 20 year break. So done James Bond. But how many fans or anyone involved will be around at all? It's not easy to say to your company and shareholders we're going to come back when your kids are in high school.
While it was not said on DS9, "I hate what I became, because of you," is such a heavy quote that it gave a glimpse of that nuance.
It might sit for a while like the post-ENT period and another company will take a stab at it. The best outcome will be in the actual 2090's when TNG's and DS9's copyrights expire. Then retards like us can make better Trek series without copyright infringement.
I really like that DS9 episode where O'Brien, Nog and Garak go to the other station to salvage materials. It in particular is a good followup to this where, even before Garak gets all hopped up on that bioweapon, he's poking at O'Brien about his time in the war.
Worf goes back in time and his forehead suddenly become smooth.
Apparently Andrew Robinson had a rough time with that episode because he really resented playing crazy characters after Dirty Harry.
So true, “Storm Front” got destroyed, literally no one liked it.
They have elections.
Yes. Why do you think Maxwell took his ship on a one man crusade to deal with the Cardassians? Why do you think so many Starfleet officers defected to the Maquis later? Why do you think Leyton tried to coup the government? Heck, Star Trek VI was all about elements in Starfleet wanting to replace the civilian government with a military dictatorship to wage war against the Klingon Empire.
I'm of the opinion the Federation dares its malcontents into colonization. You want to run a Navajo or Irish Amish ethnostate? We'll help you pack! Want to be free of our restrictions on genetic engineering? We'll let you create your Masterpiece Society if you go beyond our borders. Oh, you decided to become Antifa and destroy your planet? That's not our problem!
I don't think this is an opinion, this seems to be the fact of the matter. The Federation tells people to leave if they want. They'll give you everything you need and send you on your way. Space is big, but you're on your own after that.
