shatner on scarface talking sci-fi earth ecological woo. Getting preachy.

Not sure what that space trip did to his brain.

1. OMG I had to mute him.

[Cyrano]

2. Well, he's 91 years old. Give him a break.

3. Oh, that's far too cynical. He's quite impacted by his profound experience in space...

and I found his new appreciation for all that surrounds him on earth and in nature quite touching. He's not wrong about some of what he was saying about trees' ability to chemically communicate, btw (research has been dramatic in the past decades) and those terrified of being accused of anthropomorphizing animals (though most that are so concerned can't even spell it ) are intensely ignorant of the complexity of interactions between individual animals, their ability to communicate, and the previously unrecognized higher intelligence.

So, no, I don't agree with your cynicism, nor completely with your "woo" accusations.

I rather enjoyed the segment

14. I thought it was a good interview

I hadn't been paying much attention to the TV this morning, didn't know he was going to be on. JUst happened to walk in from running with my dog as it started.

I liked it. Particularly toward the end as the conversation discussed being "that old" and still able to be moved to say WOW.

7. Very wise words from "Captain Kirk".

In my opinion.

[Elessar Zappa]

8. I agreed with much of what he said.

It certainly wasn’t all woo.

9. Shatner ordering coffee would probably sound preachy. He's the king of vacuous mansplaining.

[CatWoman]

12. lol

you gotta love him

[marble falls]

16. I love his records ...

[BannonsLiver]

11. I don't remember Bill being in Scarface.

Is there a new directors cut out on DVD?

13. What? Did he say hello to my little friend?

15. Shatner is facing his own mortality

all of his co-stars from the original are dead... at least the ones that would talk to him... as far as I know, he and George Takei are not friends.

He is going through the 5 stages of grief about his death and is approaching acceptance.

He didn't say anything that wasn't true about animals and plants communicating with each other... although assigning some sort of higher order intelligence to communication between trees or fungus is a bit far afield (not that he did that).

18. I thought he had a wonderful view of humanity.

He talked about thinking like a child and seeing the awe and surprise all around us. We should try to maintain that perspective. He reminded me a bit of Jimmy Carter.
