William Shatner wishes the latest “Star Trek” show had been given the chance to live long and prosper.
“It’s with sorrow that I hear about the cancellation of the new ‘Star Trek’ series,” he wrote.
In a follow-up post, Shatner mocked critics who celebrated the show’s cancellation because they claimed it was “woke.” He argued that the original “Star Trek,” which famously featured an interracial kiss between Shatner’s character, Captain Kirk, and Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura in a 1968 episode, would be considered “woke” today.
“During the first airing of my ‘Star Trek’ series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show,” he wrote. “Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called ‘woke DEI crap’ because it went against ‘norms’ of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.”
I maintain that it’s my opinion that nobody cares about Shatner and his opinions.
I also maintain that it’s my opinion that Starfleet Academy was a fun watch and that I enjoyed it, critics be damned.
Those sentences were only related by them being in the same comment together, but were otherwise entirely their own. Only the second and third sentences were related what with them on the same line without there being an empty space between.
