However, franchise veteran William Shatner is the one who really captured the headlines. Shatner invoked the name of creator Gene Roddenberry when he spoke on his panel about the new era of Emigrate shows and fans certainly had strong thoughts on what he said.

Gossipify attended William Shatner’s “Shatner On Shatner” panel, where he revealed some thoughts that still cause a stir among star Trek Fans. Shatner talked about the new shows and his relationship with the late creator and basically said that Gene Roddenberry wouldn’t be happy with the aspects of the new shows:

Those are strong words, to say the least, so it’s understandable that fans of the classic and new series (who probably have Subscriptions of primary importance ) I would feel a way. Perhaps the most popular opinion online was that, because Shatner openly admitted that he didn’t follow suit star Trekhis comments on the late producer should be seen in this light:

The 91-year-old star may have only a vague idea of ​​what’s going on in the world Emigrate Today. So we can honestly see why people don’t see him as an authority on how the franchise stays true to its roots. Others on Twitter, like jessie conte , I think he might be right. However, they also noticed that Gene Roddenberry didn’t like many things Emigrate that others liked:

Some fans thought William Shatner wasn’t intentionally mischievous with his statement, he was just being honest. Shatner may not know for sure what his late colleague’s thoughts on modernity are. star Trek would be, but there’s no denying he knew his personality and thought better than most of us:

Kirk about it Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, the film that the protagonist himself directed. Gene Roddenberry mentioned in the memo that he didn’t like the plot and general direction of the film. In other words, it is suggested that if the actor knew what Roddenberry wanted from Emigratein the first place would not have received such criticism:

This isn’t the first controversial opinion William Shatner has shared about the space saga, and I’m sure it won’t be the last (Shatner also takes classic shots with humor Star Wars ). As for the actor, it seems most fans are ready to appreciate the fact that he helped get started star Trek as a franchise while acknowledging that you are not always aware of what is going on in the franchise. Some would prefer to simply rule it out entirely and ignore the online speech altogether:

If it’s any consolation, William Shatner had some great things tell Paul Wesley he couldn’t even tell Shatner he was going to play Kirk Star Trek: Strange New Worlds when you met. So overall, I’d say Shatner has a place in his heart for the franchise. And who knows? Maybe take a look at some of the following Emigrate Shows and share your thoughts later.
