- Moovy recently talked to STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS stars Anson Mount (Captain Christopher Pike) and Rebecca Romjin (Commander Una Chin-Riley) about their Emmy Award nominated spin-off.
In this little extract we hear Mount talk about that VERY special day where he recorded the famous "space, the final frontier" speech - and a different Starfleet captain stole the moment!
Speaking of STAR TREK - maybe you'll appreciate this supercut we did back in 2017 🖖😀 We're thinking of doing an updated version with highlights from "Strange New Worlds" and more! czcams.com/video/EWj0ZjNi7cs/video.html
not star trek*
@@flexydex8754 It most certainly is! 🖖🥳
This is why Anson is literally perfect for the role. He gets it. He really, really gets it.
100%!
@@MoovyTVToo bad the writers don't.
@@stopgeorge Yeah, I watched Season 2 Episode 1 & couldn't believe how crappy the story was with the episode being about everyone else except Cpt. Pike.
This is what happens when you hire actors who are also fans. Don’t be surprised if he starts improvising lines then writing episodes.
He appears to get it but if the show runners don’t, it really doesn’t matter.
Anson Mount was a game changer once he showed up on discovery he made me love Star Trek all that much more brought the charisma,confidence,ideals all in one package he made me believe he was really Pike
Very well put!
It’s like your not watching an actor, rather I feel like we’re truly watching Capt Pike. He makes it seem effortless. I also enjoyed Bruce Greenwood’s taken on Pike.
It was also a stroke of genius to have Pike know about his less than positive future. Really gave him a great character dynamic.
Anson Mount must have truly embodied the character of Captain Pike to have garnered such admiration from you. It is always inspiring to see someone bring a character to life with such dedication and passion.
He is truly the most incredible Captain I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot!
"Don't try to outdo Captain Kirk"...
Spoken like a true Starfleet Officer
The born captain!
Yeah, especially while Shatner was literally in orbit over Anson Mount’s head in space!
Strange new worlds is the best thing to happen to star trek in decades. Every time I hear pikes monologue it makes my spine tingle in the best way
Same here! It was also a special pleasure to experience it in a somewhat "alternative" fashion in the latest episode, Those Old Scientists 😍
@@MoovyTV Love that episode - best one yet
@@mikegriffinasl Agreed! It was amazing! And I expected it to be really funny, but it was also very poignant and heartfelt. This season got off to a somewhat slow start, but it's really been delivering the goods recently. Looking forward to the musical episode next week! :-D
I appreciate the excitement and inspiration that comes with discovering new worlds and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Exploration and a thirst for knowledge are the driving forces behind progress and change, and I believe the pursuit of such endeavors is essential to the human spirit. So, I encourage you to continue to embrace the show, the excitement and the wonder of these strange new worlds, wherever they may lead you.
I cry everytime also. My daughter gets mad cuz I wont skip the beginning
Probably the best thing about Anson is the fact that he made this role his own, he didn't try to be Kirk, or Picard, he created a Captain Pike in him self who is perfect.
Agreed. That's what makes the respective Trek captains so great - that none of them are emulating each other, but standing out on their own. Makes it difficult to pick a favorite! :-D
@@MoovyTV I don't pick a favorite, I've respected them all and since I was a child and tried to be the men they all were... and now are thanks to Anson. He really created a new man who I find my self wanting to emulate.
Sure, it's not like three other guys played the character before him and he's just copying the first guy.
@@michaelmorningstar8645there is little to copy from a single episode to fully emulate a character, and there is next to nothing you can emulate from someone who is unable to do anything physical or emotive when in the chair. And he is nothing like the alternative Pike from the kelvin timeline.
@@mastere6115 Wrong. Pike's Character from the Cage is fully developed and it's the exact same unsure war weary contemplative character. You have no clue what you are talking about.
It’s a fantastic show and very much in the spirit of the original series. A fantastic cast too.
Agreed and agreed! :-)
The Show has been informed by the era it'd made since TOS and frankly that's great, it keeps it fresh
Why is it on "Strange New Worlds" we never see any strange new worlds?
I really enjoy it, it’s good to have proper Star Trek back.
that is an absolute great story of Shatner being in orbit whilst they were recording the monologue… next level!!! peace & prosperity from Brisbane, Australia
Yeah, it was difficult not being amazed and saying "wow" constantly as he was telling it - I wonder if Mount will be in orbit when the next actor gets to do the monologue? :-D
Shatner and the others in the capsule didn't actually orbit the Earth (theirs was a near-vertical suborbital flight), but they *did* cross the Karman Line -- which is supposed to be the boundary where you actually get to _be_ in space.
Which means he got to go where no other living Star Trek actor has gone before. Not too shabby, imho.
@@alcor4670 :) Not too shabby indeed. I still believe, though, that Nimoy would have politely declined, and still give a certain trillionaire his photo op with a ST legend - but strongly suggested that a young bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fan gets his seat!
Orbit? When was Shatner in orbit? He was launced in a penis shaped missile that went up and down in a 12 second weightless arc, that's not orbiting.
@@mlt6322I think in physics terms even throwing a baseball is an orbit
This is, BY FAR, the best Trek spin off.
It’s great! But there are so many amazing spin-offs to the original that it’s difficult for us to rank them :D
Next episode has Boimler.....
Not even of the past year.
Wait, do you actually think it's better than TNG and DS9?
@@asdffdsa541 DS9 is second worst Trek, only beaten to worst by the 70's cartoon.
I would want:
A father like Picard who would be a perfect role model,
A mother like Janeway who would love me but won't spoil me,
A buddy like Kirk who would get me into troubles but take me out of them too,
A military leader like Sisko whom I follow to death in combat,
And...
A bigger brother like Pike who I would look up to.
Anson Mount is simply perfect for this role. He plays a very believable Pike.
Definitely sounds like the dream family/inner circle 🖖😍
This guy saved STD and now is making a wonderful job on SNW. He totally deserves all the love he's receiving from trekkers around the world.
Nothing saved STD, it became less awful as time went on, but less awful is still awful, start to finish.
@@stubee2011 Thanks to Pike, season 2 is watchable and the best season in the series, no question about it.
@@youreale I'm not criticizing Anson Mount or any of the SNW cast, and they have finally got it looking like Star Trek (to be fair I thought the color pallet and lighting of the Enterprise in the animated opening looked better than the darker more ash grey CGI model). But the abysmal, unimaginative writing that seems more like a generic CBS drama with Star Trek names and terms just pasted on is killing it. Get decent writers and they have got a winner.
@@stubee2011yes, I was excited for new star trek but it was getting on my nerves, looked like star fleet is just bunch of teenagers, he brought some seriousness but also enjoyment of moment into that piece, but stopped watching after he was no longer there, glad he got his own show.
@AleksanderNerasov Aleksander, beign old doesnt make you expert 😃 but it does make you good fan. Enjoy the show, but for me, Discovery is super weak, graphics are the only point I can agree with, crew is background dancing team for main protagonist, who is always causing more problems than creating solutions, I did not notice any real character development and soundtrack didnt hit me either. I like the original series even with their slower pacing, but Kirk is never going to be my favourite captain, that is Janeway, even when I grew up with great small Piccard.
I am an old man, and I watched Star Trek from the very beginning. This show Strange New Worlds is fantastic! I love the cast I love the ships and the writing it top notch. They outdo each other every week! Thanks.
Well spoken, fellow fan! We agree!
@@MoovyTV Thank you!
It would be nice if for the next Trek film if they could use bits of each Captain's monologue and put them together.
They do something a bit like that at the end of the final (and mostly terrible - the very end is actually that episode's only redeeming part) episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. And I did something a bit like that at the beginning of this supercut 🙂
czcams.com/video/EWj0ZjNi7cs/video.html
@@MoovyTV Wow, that was a truly epic edit, it bought tears to my eyes!! 🥹 Here's the one from the much maligned Enterprise finale ▶ czcams.com/video/pXotJu1CapU/video.html
They did that in Enterprise with Scott.
And Leonard Nimoy (Captain Spock) did it at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
This is what you deliver when you pay attention to and respect TOS. That monologue is the spine of Gene Roddenberry's creation. Both seasons (so far) of SNW, are amazing. Even the title theme shows respect!
Agreed! Can’t believe there’s only TWO episodes left of the season, and then probably a two year wait for more :-/
They didn't pay attention to and respect TOS. That's why there are the way too early very wrong Ridley Scott Alienesque Gorn things and a Klingon war that never happened in the TOS universe.
I honestly believe that even if they don't say "the words" in the show. Every actor playing a Starfleet captain should say the words at least to themselves. It puts you in the right frame of mind for the role.
I'm liking this new series, Anson Mount is great as Pike, I think he'd be great as Mr Fantsic of the Fantsic Four.
A good shout! :-) Although they probably won't go for him, since he's (or has been) the MCU's Black Bolt.
Ooo I like that idea!
Sacrilige! There can only ever be Ioan Gruffudd!! :)
best trek in years and years
Happy I met Anson, next to meet Rebecca in just under 3 weeks!
Anson Mount has done a great job giving Captain Christopher Pike the story he deserves. 110% great job !
Agreed! 🖖
I just like that they had him record that intro, and I think his rendition sounds excellent. It helps making this feel like the adventures of the star ship enterprise. Not trying to outdo Shatner or Stewart, but the captain of the USS Enterprise stating what they are about.
Agreed - we love how it's powerful, yet somewhat subdued.
This man’s humility is beautiful
Agreed - would gladly follow him into space :-D
Don't forget Nimoy also delivered this famous speech. Somehow, when people talk about this, they remember Shatner and Stewart, but not Nimoy.
Of course he did.
True! And so did the entire reboot crew in the newer films along with Scott Bakula (although just a part of the monologue) in the final episode of Enterprise. But to me, at least, there’s a clear difference between a one-off in a single feature film/episode and a speech that sets the tone for every single episode of a whole spacefaring show 🖖😍
@@MoovyTVJames Cromwell.
I'll have to check this show out, I keep hearing good things. I also like Anson Mount from his previous work
Make it so! :-D
Oh the roasting by your cast mate at that moment was just epic. Great job, Rebecca. Glad you are a part of our extended family.
"... and he spoke the words well!!"
100%! Must've been an honour to be part of that sound team and piece together those recordings like Mount says!
Oh Anson Mount (Pike) doesnt need to be compared with any other Star Trek captain. Anson Mount is such a natural. The whole show is an ensemble but Anson Mount carries the show better than any other Star Trek captain.
He really is THE BEST
Ive been watching Star Trek since 1970. Captain Pike is my all time favorite Captain!
Yeah, Anson Mount makes the show.
:) Almost all of them do, in my book. I like what they did with Spock, Uhura, Chapel, Ortegas, M'Benga, La'an, T'Pring...
You listed all the recastings that were lame and skipped the two that worked.
@@michaelmorningstar8645 "The two that worked" were a given. And you were talking to the wrong guy!
@@dayegilharno4988 Nope. Nobody said Romijn.
@@michaelmorningstar8645 Let's sort this out, then: Pike is above and beyond, and you aparently agree that Una is performed kind of wooden... Hemmer can be the only one you can possibly refer to, and I agree! But that doesn't take away from all the other characters, doesn't it?!
LOL! Don't try to outdo Shatner! Priceless!
Haha! Sounds like an impossible mission as well :-D
he did great
Agreed! :-D
Freaking love this new franchise!!!
I’ve been a Star Trek fan since TOS originally aired. SNW is a worthy successor to all the TV series and movies. Superb casting, sets, writing, stories…. Excellent.
Agree on all counts!
I'd love it if actual footage of Shatner in space was somehow worked into an episode of Strange New Worlds! 😆
With all these multiverses, I guess you could have an episode where Shatner's shuttle travels through a wormhole and ends up in Star Trek's fictitious 23rd century :-D Not much crazier than a partially animated Lower Decks crossover, I guess!
Nah. They've replaced him with Jim Carey.
When I first sat down to watch the first episode of SNW I had no idea that they were going to use that monologue. I'm not ashamed to say that I lost my shit!! I was so happy!!
Haha, ditto! :-D And not only that, but the main theme tune is a wonderful sort-of modernisation of the original theme.
Anson is currently my favorite captain, and hes an awesome actor.
Awesome indeed!
Great emotion in his eyes as he spoke. Reverence and deep respect for the profoundness of what the show and his character stand for: Humanity and its acquired assemblage of knowledge, technology, scientific curiosity, engineering genius joined in the common cause of furthering understanding of the vast realm of existence.
@@victorpradha9946 very poetically and correctly put!
I'm so fascinated and grateful that Paramount finally managed to produce a very, very good Star Trek episodes again.
They didn't produce bad seasons with Discovery, but unfortunately they never completely met my taste.
Picard seasons 1 and 2 were also very nice for me as a Next Generation fan, but they were never on the level of the old series.
BUT as of Picard season 3 and with Strange New Worlds seasons 1 and 2, they have done the stroke of genius...the miracle...!! Star Trek is finally what it was for decades.
Finally the passion and dedication to the stories, the atmosphere and the style is back!
The only thing I would criticize is that not enough time is taken to develop the characters in many (more) episodes. 10 episodes per season are not enough to present a harmonious character development. The actors do their best, you can tell! They hardly have not a chance in the short time. Unfortunately, the high speed caused by the few following makes it seem very rushed!
BUT whoever is responsible for this at Paramount and the studios involved... keep those people really tight and in your ranks. Pay them good money.
IT IS WORTH LIKE GOLD!
Star Trek is back! And i love it!!
So well said, and we agree whole wholeheartedly!
When I heard that SNW was officially happening, this was one of the first things I thought about; "will we get to hear Pike doing the captain's oath??" When the intro became available to watch I was over the moon! :D
Same here! SO excited to see and hear, whether the captain's oath would reappear - and whether we'd get a few hints of the classic music theme. So blessed to get both!
It never occurred to me before this clip just how much Rebecca Romijn and Emilia Clarke have a similar appearance and presentation. Both beautiful and striking.
Anson, you are doing amazingly and representing the Star Trek universe with absolute perfection!🖖
October 13, 2021 was the date Shatner made his 10-minute suborbital trip. We weren't locked down around here in fall 2021.
I would have to add that shatner was never actually in orbit, just went up and down.
I'm guessing it wasn't an official measure, but precautions taken by the studio.
Amazing Work!
If you're referring to Mount, we agree! If you're referring to us, we thank you! :-D
Love Anson and love his Captain Pike. Hope we get many seasons from them all and his ending is a good one and not sad and bad. Have enough of that in life. Let Pike go out in a good way alive and whole and happy. Handing the keys to Kirk one day..far in the future of tv history.
We luckily already know from TOS (The Original Series) that Pike's story ends on a somewhat tragic, but luckily mostly positive, hopeful note :-) (check out the double episode THE MIRAGE which is awesome and takes place roughly 10 years after Strange New Worlds)
William Shatner has traveled higher, further, and faster than any other Star fleet captain in history.
I just love this show!
As do we! 🖖😀
Anson Mount seems to be a pretty good guy
To say the least!
He's also following Chris Pine, the entire cast of Star Trek Beyond and, of course, Leonard Nimoy.
I just discovered that if you play Anson's intro at 1.5x speed he sounds quite Shat-esque. 🤤
Haha, nice spot, we gotta try that :-D
Chills. Nailed it!
Agreed! :-D
William Shatner was never in orbit, he was outside the atmosphere, he was in space but it wasn't an orbit.
They both come across nice and sincere. More power to their elbows.
I love his version.
So do we!
Anson is carving his on path in Trek history.
The Best Star Trek Series Yet !!!!
Well... definitely on our top 5! :-D
I like Strange New Worlds.
So do we!
Anson Mount’s version is my favorite. Between the writing, the performance of the whole troupe and the timing, Captain Pike has become my favorite Star Trek captain. Sorry, JP and JTK!
I’m right there with you, in “The Cage” he was wooden and undeveloped, and in the JJ films he was a generic seasoned captain/mentor/father figure. Anson Mount’s performance in Discovery made me care about Pike for the first time, and now he’s my joint favourite captain (alongside Picard, of course).
:) Pike is a great character, with all his struggles, and Anson Mount is above and beyound in his performance!
He is such a perfect Captain ❤
Agreed!
I loved his Capt Pike from the first moment we saw him. Hated season 1 of Discovery, but seeing him return brought me back (just for that season). Loving SNWs. Season 1 was good and bad, but I think they're really steered things in a good direction with Season 2.
Same here :-) Didn't "hate" 1st season of Discovery, but was definitely underwhelmed, and when first I heard that Pike and Spock were being featured in the 2nd season of Discovery I thought it sounded like a desperate ploy to get fans onboard. But they were so well-integrated into the plot and character gallery, and the series really took off and stayed good even after their departures.
@@MoovyTV Sorry but as a fan of all Trek since the 80's and TOS Discovery was a pile of hot steaming excrement.
@@Eldritch-1 IDIC! In other words: you are obviously entitled to your opinion :-D But after that first uneven season (which was immersed in way too much pessimism and forced violence and contrived drama akin to many modern contemporary shows) the 2nd season really gribbed us with the Pike/Spock storyline, even though the red angel subplot didn't really go anyhwere interesting.
3rd season was much better, where the show finally found its own footing. And how many of the prior great shows had to spend 2 seasons to find their feet? Which is why we feel it deserves a bit of leeway. And the 4th season was great, a couple of episodes too long but a lovely Trek-version of "Arrival" focusing on the value of communication and diplomacy over warmongering. In other words: very Trekish. It's probably the weakest of the newer series (discounting the first two seasons of Picard), but it still has merit :-)
One of the best Captains.
That’s a great story.
Definitely one for the autobiography!
not orbit, above karman line but not in orbit.
Shatner wasn't in orbit. It was a suborbital flight that lasted a few minutes. Basically up and down.
One simply does not try to outshat the Shat.
So, assuming we actually get the Star Trek: Legacy series, Jeri Ryan will be next…and, of course, be the first woman to get to.
Oh, another GREAT reason to green-light that show!
The first woman to do what?
Really need a series following Seven as a Ranger.
@@genjii931 Say “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise…”
I don't want to be "that guy" but Shatner's flight was sub-orbital. It flew just above the threshold for space. I'd love to do that.
Still an orbit, just one that intersects the Earth's surface
I hope that in the future , Rebecca can record the computer voices.
That would actually be a cool idea 😀
"Don't try to outdo Shatner" - because you won't, lol...!!! That Anson Mount's realization, when he recorded the opening "speech" of the series with the famous phrases that also started the adventures of the Original Series, was a delight...!! Anson is a great actor, he is a perfect captain and seems to have respect for the tradition. What happens to his character, and/or the series, is not his "fault" or responsibility...!! In other times, or maybe in other hands, perhaps his success could be even greater...!!
Each star on the show has their own unique talents and abilities. Anson Mount is a great actor, and he has embraced the role of Captain Pike with humility and respect for the traditions of Star Trek. Let us not focus on what might have been, but appreciate what is, and cherish this new chapter in the Star Trek saga. As Bruce Lee once said, "Be like water!" But I say, "be like a turtle", "Let us move forward with patience and perseverance." Unfortunately,
the writer strike will develop our patience
and perseverance.
Best Trek since Enterprise or DS9
Shatner is Star Trek.
Anson Mount is this show
You will never outdo Denny Crane.... In Space!
... of course, he' s the Shat man !!!
small correction, he wasnt in orbit and not even close to it
Truly the pinnacle of both actor's lives.
Hard to argue with! :-D
He was just talking about how Shatner went to space.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is awesome! I didn’t care for Discovery but this show is really good.
(gasp) So that's what Anson Mount sounds like! He has to be silent 99% of the time whenever he plays Black Bolt.
SNW is easily in my favorite iteration of the trek tv franchise after TOS, Voyager and TNG. Hope it’s around for the long haul
As the old saying goes, Kids don't try this at home. Anson's done a good job so far. I worry about the writing.
"Space the Final Frontier" I suppose echoes, and builds on Neil Armstrong's "One Small Step" speech.
This show is just awesome. It’s what STNG should have been, but stng is great in its own way.
whats the synth track come from on the clip shown first ???
I need to know too
Lust and Giants by Aeph
Still should have be ....Where no man has gone before.
Never mess with Kirk! He's got the scriptwriters in his pocket.
I love IT ♥️
I don’t believe out doing William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy is the answer; they set the tempo. Now, just go back to the style of writing and directing that they used in the late 60’s. The only message that Star Trek was sending at that time was war, racism, radical politics was foolish and there was something out there in the vast reaches of the universe that could teach us how to live better on our earth. There was NO agenda.
You just mentioned what the agenda was. It's the exact same agenda as now.
Not in orbit, he just fell short of 7500 m/s for that. He was just up there in a suborbital balistic trajectory. Check your facts, captain, for the next interview...
Space X should send Pike, Una, Spock, La'an on a falcon dragon launch. Get them in space I think they've earned it. For all Trekkies :)
I need to know the name of that music starting a 0:09. Please!
Found it. Lust and Giants, Aeph
Wow!!! 2 different genres. He was fantastic in the western series Hell on Wheels, now the opposite ...syfi.... cool, ill have to che k it out!!
The on e thing I never understood is why did they not change the monologue around a bit so that way "...to explore strange new worlds" was the last line. It's the title of the show.
We are still waiting for them to explore strange new worlds.
why are there subtitles in the video?
Damn he's aging at light speed since Discovery. Probably drinks.
An interesting story
"Ya just got outdone by shatner yet again!!"
Anson: 🤨
Shatner - more like Shat on!
🖖🏻
William Shatner took a joy ride on a New Shepard ship with Jeff Bezos. It did not enter orbit. It was a suborbital flight, just straight up then straight down. Coming down the capsule separated from the rocket, coming down gently on a parachute. It barely passed 100km (62 mile) altitude. Total trip time 10 minutes.
Would've been hilarious at the end, if he had shaken his fist and gave one of those Seinfeld/Newman "SHATNER!!!", as if they were rivals.
LOL
Haha, would’ve loved that! 😂
The Shat.
Maybe some hyperbole there. Shatner was never in orbit and was only about 10 minutes in duration.
A hyperbolic trajectory wouldn't have brought him back in ten minutes, or even ten centuries. It was obviously a highly elliptical orbit
Anson Mount is pretty good as Pike. Strange New Worlds isn't as good as TOS. The quippy MCU style dialog needs to go. Totally wrong for Starfleet to be talking like that. It has a few other rough edges, but SNW is much better than Discovery or Picard S1-2.
I didn't know they were recording while Shatner was up there. That's funny.
After rewatching lots of TOS and TNG episodes recently, I specifically noticed how much down-to-earth (and somewhat "unprofessional", though not implausible and always charming) banter there actually is among the crew. I noticed it more, because so many had criticized that kind of dialogue in SNW, and I do agree with you that it is a little "much" at times, but I still find it believable - especially in the age of TOS where the dialogue does seem to be a bit more loose and "chill", for lack of better terms, than in the 24th century.
But yeah, Picard S1-2... damn! Glad they salvaged that (and more) in season 3!
@@MoovyTVhe banter is fine. They just shouldn't do it on the bridge. And they should never talk back to the captain, especially on the bridge. That doesn't happen in the military.
Recall that Mr data has to take worf aside to dress him down when worf once grumbles at Data's orders, on the bridge. In front of everyone
@@stevencoardvenice I agree that it goes a little overboard, but I've always felt that Trek has presented a more "lenient", relaxed style of communication and interaction than what we see in the current day military :-) This "clash of styles" has also informed some of the franchise's best episodes, like Chain of Command.
@@MoovyTVwe cannot be forgiving and say things like okay it's a little overboard. A military organization does not allow a little overboard, not when the setting is professional like a bridge or already room or an away mission. Reminds me of the concept of a slippery slope, allowing a small amount opens the door to the avalanche. Today's Trek just is no longer Trek, and in many instances it seems that today's iterations purpose is to tear down what track was and to reimagine it for a new audience. But that's pretty much a whole new show, a new show in a Star Trek wrapper. Nowadays I find myself preferring fan made productions by Star Trek fans. The actors are overweight the sets are cheap the acting subpar, but they do manage great ship scenes, one of the few times I'm grateful for CGI which is overused nowadays. It's much more like Star Trek than the million dollar productions of today. Star Trek fans create Star Trek, people whose goal it is to reimagine someone else's intellectual property for a new audience is not Star Trek. You could just imagine if you were to write a book create a television series or a movie and 50 years down the line some fresh-faced kids come along and decide to reimagine it (rather than creating their own product) they hijack yours. They changed the color scheme the emotional town etc etc, when you get the joy of watching the deconstruction of the child of your mind.
Yeah, because Star Trek wasn't quippy. Bones and Spock never got sarcastic, curt, or insulting with one another.
At least ST fans should know by heart that Shatner was not in orbit. That was a sub orbital flight. Actually a very big difference.
