I see comments from people amazed by the youthful mental vigor of Shatner. I watched an interview with Brent Spiner (Commander Data) in which he said Shatner constantly reads. I am no medical doctor or scientist, so maybe this is wishful thinking (I am addicted to reading, and cannot fall asleep unless I read, but maybe the old expression use it or lose it applies to Shatner. Maybe his brain remains agile and alert because Shatner exercises it like people who stay young physically by working out. I guess the brain is like a muscle, so it needs exercise too. Otherwise, it atrophies. This reminds me -- I have not returned to the gym since the pandemic. I need to get back into shape.

The 1st time I saw Star Trek. I was going to be 16 years old. I was completely enthralled. Seein Captain Kirk, 1st Office Spock, and the rest of the regular Characters. I never missed an Episode, and I was really pissed off, when it was Canceled! Most of the Actors in the Series are now Dead, but seeing Mr. Shatner at the age of 93 brought back so many Good Memories! I hope Mr. Shatner lives another 20 years!

My co-worker met Bill a few months ago and just having a conversation with him is so cool. He is still sharp and whitty. He did say to my friend that outliving most of his costars from TOS kinda makes him sad at times. I do wnat to note that although he did walk out on stage, he does have difficulty at times, as noted by my friend and a few others he s does sometimes use a scooter.

Saw him in person about a year ago from a show he did and it was incredible how mobile he was. moving around the stage and rarely sitting for very long, and even doing a bounce/jump motion during a story he was telling. I can't recall many if any other 93 year olds that can do that! Even better is the fact that he seems to be mentally sharp as ever as well.

William Shatner is a Canadian who became an American who was an amazing man just based on his attitude about life. I have always enjoyed his, one could consider overacting. Only because it’s just entertaining as hell. We love you William or can I call you, BILL, up here in Canada, Where you would’ve probably frozen many years ago.

I've heard a lot of talk about Shatner, both good and bad, but isn't that the case with all of us We're all imperfect but Shatner pulls it off with flair. I love the way he pokes fun at himself and the joy he has in life. I hope he lives many more years so he can continue to entertain and enlighten us with his wit and wisdom.

In my opinion, William Shatner’s beyond brilliant death scene remake on Jimmy Kimmel could be the greatest moment of death scene ever portrayed by an actor. I was compelled to watch it over and over to witness Shatner’s brilliant, emotional, and inspired performance. I’m simply in awe.

Clint Eastwood turns 94 this year, still directing a film currently in post-production. Personally hope Shatner and Eastwood live well into their hundreds. Love that people are living older generally, gives me hope that life expectancy might be 150 years by the time I hit my 90s.

In Star Trek V (the one Shatner directed, Kirk felt secure in his survival as long as his friends were with him. I've always known. I'll die alone. he added.
With only George Takei and Walter Koenig left from the original crew, it's quite possible that line was a prophetic one.

It was. fun!
These words will make history, when he leaves us for his next adventure.
That scene gutted me far more than I have been and always shall be your friend.
The most relatable and authentic death I have ever seen on screen - both versions.

Is it really possible that he was so low on cash after the Star Trek series that he had to live in a camper.
Somehow I don't believe it. And where did he get the money to buy the Malibu beach home right next to Barbara Streisand that probably cost him $20 million

I've personally always hated that death scene as well. I wish they had used a different plot altogether for this particular movie, similar to the plot of the book Star Trek The Next Generation: Crossover. That would have made for a more fantastic and enriching story.

Only the good die young. As much as we love to love William Shatner, the world is rife with stories of him being a monumental A-hole. But I can still tip my hat to a cultural icon on his Birthday. I guess it comes with the territory. H. B. W. S.

Generations the movie is hit and miss, but Shatner’s death scene as Kirk was incredibly emotional and here he nailed it again! Look into his eyes. This is a man who knows for sure he’s on borrowed time but truly living each moment.

Captain Kirk was my first onscreen hero when I was little. I love Bill Shatner and, having a tiny stake in Legion M, that this film is getting so much love. Legion M is the only publicly owned film company btw.

I had only lived in the US for 6 months when I saw Captain Kirk on tv and I was 8 years old. I loved him from that moment and only a man such as he would in my mind be good enough to marry, so I never did.

I see Shatner im reminded of his wonderful Twilight Zone episode in the diner where he keeps putting pennies in a fortune telling devil machine circa 1961. Still holds up!
