``But I have shot a wonderful documentary where I talk to all the captains of Star Trek and try to find a common denominator and in the meantime have some fun talking to them about them and their lives.''

So Shatner has revealed that his new “The Captains” documentary will include talks with Star Trek’s TV captains Patrick Stewart (TNG), Avery Brooks (DS9), Kate Mulgrew (Voyager) and Scott Bakula (Enterprise). And apparently he is going to also include Leonard Nimoy, who was a captain in the Star Trek movies. But what about Star Trek’s newest captain, Chris Pine? Is this doc incomplete without the new Captain Kirk being interviewed by the original Captain Kirk?

I think it's a great idea, and something I would definitely watch. What puzzles me though, is Shatner, coming out with this. I had the impression over the years that he wanted to disassociate himself to an extent with the whole Star Trek thing. Or am I mistaken?

I always thought it was Leonard Nimoy who tried to shy away from the Star Trek image. But don't quote me on that.

I don't think so. I never heard of him trying to dismiss the franchise.

He appeared in the 2009 movie.

OK. As you can probably tell, I'm no Star Trek expert. :lol:

This is obviously about the TV shows, so Chris Pine is not needed here.

Besides, I thought Chris Pine was disappointing as Kirk in the last Trek movie.

Zach Quinto was spot-on as young Spock, but they could have done better for Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
