William Shatner: My Trip to Space Filled Me With Sadness - Variety

In this exclusive excerpt from William Shatner’s new book, “Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder,” the “Star Trek” actor reflects on his voyage into space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space shuttle on Oct. 13, 2021. Then 90 years old, Shatner became the oldest living person to travel into space, but as the actor and author details below, he was surprised by his own reaction to the experience.

      The Orville is good too. (Technically not Trek but very good)

        Once capitalism and intellectual property rights have been vanquished, we shall go back and edit the Orville to be what it was always supposed to be: TNG seasons 8+

        Me too. I feel like when people say "NuTrek bad" they almost always have only ever seen Discovery and Picard.

          what kind of stockholm syndrome do you have to have to see disco and picard and give them another chance?

          some people like lower decks but i watched the first episode and it was ten times as hyper as the least comprehensible rick and morty episode, completely unwatchable pacing.
