Yeah, it's shatner so ~~you~~ one expects him to be crass, and ~~you~~ one forgets he was the first star trek captain. and agreed with the ideas being shown on screen (unlike, IDK, Barclay's actor)

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Huh? What's up with Barclay's actor?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Right wing propaganda guy. Dwight Sclutz

I've actually done pretty good meeting my heroes, they're mostly down to earth types.

@Skullgrid @BadExampleMan

That speaks as much to your excellent choices in hero's as to the hero's themselves 🙂👍

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Sooo many of them too. I just can't rewatch Hercules or Lois & Clark.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Boy, do I wish I hadn't read this comment. This makes me sad to know.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What really gets to me is that he's fucking Mung Daal in Chowder, whose actor is was a literal kid. God knows what kind of poison lies he fed that boy. I really liked him in chowder too.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No more! I had no idea of that, either! I friggin loved that show! I am now double depressed. I wish to know no more!

Jeffrey Hunter was the first Star Trek captain.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise the starring role of the TOS series , Captain Kirk was played by Jeffrey Hunter. How many episodes was he in?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Captain Christopher Pike was played by Jeffery Hunter in the first Star Trek series, but was only in the pilot or something before Shatner took the reins. If you were sincerely asking.

[–] coolman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The first pilot that wasn't aired. It's what got turned into the Talos IV episode with Pike, they used that footage for his "dream" life

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If you were sincerely asking.

not really. When people are thinking about their favourite captain, especially before the revival, Jeff was never in the running. Hell, ~~Bakalar~~ Bakula is barely in the running.

I agree. It's one of those nerd pedantic facts that people throw out.
