"That was a good hero," Shatner says. "He made decisions. He was forceful.
He was compassionate. He was the instigator. He fought hard and long
physically and emotionally. He carried the dilemma of whether to intrude or
not to intrude. It was all the classic forms of good Greek playmaking: The
hero has the dilemma and resolves the dilemma."

And, I'd like to add, he understood that the purpose of being a Starship
Captain is to drive the coolest ship and make it with space babes. Something
effeminate french bald men just don't 'get', apparently. And I wish American
female captains bearing resemblance to Katherine Hepburn would have gotten
more of it.
Hi Kweeg, Nat, Brenda (is it the same Brenda?) and all the other defenders
of the faith.
R U all staying real?
