i like when they switch

the year is 2043. william shatner, 112, is grabbing his aide's hand, begging her to get closer, his hold unexpectedly strong

"when kirk and spock had sex kirk was always the top. he never took it up the ass" he says, before immediately flatlining

I used to have quite a lot of contempt for William Shatner. Much was based on what I read in George Takei's autobiography and what I have seen (second hand) from his Twitter/X.

What's started to modify my opinion:

1. Reading what other cast members have said. Many have confirmed George's facts but had a different nuance. Bill was hired as THE STAR of Star Trek. It was not the ensemble show that many of us have become accustomed to. His nose did get VERY out of joint by the breakout stardom of Leonard Nimoy, but here's the thing: he changed his mind after discussing it with Gene Roddenberry, who convinced him that the popularity o of Spock could only be good for the show. If the show promoted the relationship between the two characters, it could only be good for him.

2. A Facebook post by David Gerrold that talked about how generous and kind he was, and making the point that he and Leonard had the most work to do of any actor in the set. Do I believe he had a huge ego? Yes. Do I believe that other castmates felt slighted by him at times? Yes. Do I think he's done some shitty things? Also yes. Do I think he's a shitty person? NO.

3. Reading his book "Leonard" - is a very clear, warts and all book. He admits to many of the things he is upbraided for by fans and casual observers. He's also very clear about how much he loved Leonard Nimoy and how much he treasured that relationship.

4. Reading Leonard Nimoy's "I Am Spock" which covered much of the same ground and generally agrees with Bill's book.

5. Finding out that he doesn't run his own X/Twitter account and posts on there may not represent him well:

6. Watching old convention footage of William Shatner with his co-stars. I don't think the level of comfort and warmth and friendship is faked. I just don't.

I think that people are complicated. The nicest person is capable of supremely shitty behavior (I also read Adam Nimoy's "The Most Human"). The worst can surprise you with generosity and kindness. We, as fans out here in the general public, don't actually know these people. We see a small percentage of what any celebrity is - only what they present for our observation. And at any moment, that glance may not be flattering.

I think all Star Trek fans owe a debt of gratitude for everyone that had a role in making this multiverse that we love. And that includes William Shatner.

Admit it, Spock. For people like us, the journey itself… is home.

[a-most-beloved-fool]

gotta love William Shatner, claiming to not understand spirk, and then first helping to write a series of Trek novels wherein Kirk is revived from his death in Generations and reunites with Spock (with Spock being one of the only ones who actually believes Kirk can be revived) then second directs and acts in a short film where Kirk reunites with Spock at Spock's death, and they hold hands and watch the sunrise. it's really so wild of him.

and this is ignoring all of his heart eyes and how handsy he was with Spock throughout tos and the movies, too. You really don't see how people would come to a gay conclusion? Truly??
