Don't fucking tell me THIS is how I'm finding out that Sir Patrick Stewart is dead...
Sorry
I need to sleep with more green women.
It's the fountain of youth from what I've seen.
Maybe i should become a raging alcoholic afterall
Ya but he is cheating by living in the Nexus.
Someone needs to put Shatner and Takei into a protective bubble until this awful week is over.
(Well, probably two separate bubbles)
While we're bubbling people, you know how sometimes when one person dies their significant other dies shortly after? What I'm saying is, someone should probably be checking on Sir Ian McKellen.
I recently rewatched LotR and had a lot of dread seeing how old Gandalf looked in that movie that itself isn't that young.
That film is 25 years old! Time slowly steps along unabated.
"But at my back I always hear
Time's wing'ed charriots, hurrying near"
That's so cute.
"I've been working with Bill Shatner yea these 40-plus years. He never seems to get it right. I gave him, 'It's Takei, as in way.' I even said, 'as in gay'… I told him, 'It's Takei, rhymes with toupee.' I thought that would do it."
This is a damn shame :(
OMG, they're gonna get sucked out that window into space, where that one Enterprise is frightfully retreating!
This timeline has been cooked for way too long, where's a tachyon anomaly when we need one
We might need to solve this the way Janeway did
Why does it look like Voyager is ramming Babylon 5?
because it is. it might be from the old early 00s web series "Space Battles"
Those were great. Guy just made a series of movies with Star Trek, Star Wars, and Babylon 5 ships fighting each other. Like for example there was a series where The Federation, the Rebel Alliance, and The Alliance/Rangers teamed up against The Empire and the Shadows. Or there was one series where the Federation went against The Alliance in B5 (which is what this might be from)
Very cool, I'll look it up.
Timeship IIRC
Yeah. Janeway had a badass one liner, though.
"Times.....up" BOOM
It took me a while to notice and not complaining that the scale is waaaay off.
I was just gonna kill Ronald Reagan while he took a shit on some movie set but that could work too
Just proves to me that Bill Shatner is sucking the life force out of all his co stars to live longer. Very on brand for him.
He's only 9 years older than Patrick Stewart, apparently. I view TOS and TNG as very distant from each other, but they were only 18 years apart.
It is crazy how TNG feels much more recent.
Somewhat related, it's also crazy that Rosalind Chao (Keiko O'Brien on TNG) played Soon-Lee on MASH (the woman who marries Klinger). MASH and TNG feel absolutely eons apart, but in real life they were within ≈4 years of each other.
But at age 90, it's something like a 1 in 4 chance you'll die every year. So, even if he's only 9 years older than Stewart, the odds of him outliving Stewart would have been pretty low, all other things being equal.
Its more that he has out lasted the TOS crew. If he goes after George then I know for sure some dark arts are a foot.
Stewart played one of Rome's greatest and most arrogant tyrants. A role he performed well in I, Claudius. Surely this is why he died first, Tiberius had his revenge.
Then again, William Shanter played an arrogant actor turned murderer in an episode of Columbo. But it wasn't a very good episode so maybe thats why he goes unpunished for it?
Never go full emperor.
Tiberius had the right idea. Rule from your private restore island and let the senate bicker over the petty details.
Shatner will live forever because of his album.
Same reason kid Rock will never die.
Kirk died so Shatner could live. Long live the Shat!
I,Claudius is amazing.
He played the main bad guy in Loaded Weapon as well. I don't know, also heard Shatner is bit of a jerk and could contribute to him living longer.
Shanters jerkiness is no secret. He does seem to have mellowed with age and having quit drinking. It's incredible he keeps going and flew into space at his age. The irony is Bezos's own jerkiness overshadowed Shanters when you watch the video after he landed and Bezos is spraying campaign around a recovered alcoholic. Maybe Shanter lived so long in order to redeem himself? That'd be a very Kirk thing to have happen.
Maybe it was just because of the situation, but I briefly meet him about 15 years ago and he was perfectly pleasant. But it is different meeting someone one off and working with them. He was fairly old even then and I am still amazed he is with us.
Shatner came back as a Columbo villain in Butterfly in Shades of Grey, one of the ‘90s TV movies. I think he did better the second time around, but his mustache is atrocious.
I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing in this photo while I'm here looking at it..
Way too soon.
Well yes,but my mind went there too
Kirk said he'd die alone.
Last person alive perhaps? AI chooses him to live
Not only surprising that Kirk outlived Picard, but Shatner is still performing!
He did riot fest and a heavy metal show.
Then he goes on tour starting today with short runs all the way to February of next year.
Maybe he enjoys the same benefit as Keith Richards: for every cigarette you smoke you lose 6 minutes of your life and it goes to Richards/Shatner.
