Now when you get over gazing at that and realize that she has dated Shatner, but NOT you...
Yes, when you get over it...then go out and rent the obscure movie "Impulse" from 1974, one of Shatner's most cleverly acted gems of cinematic history, but a movie so subtle in its sendup of popular mores that it was completely misunderstood and mostly ignored by the general public, and savaged by reviewers, like this doofus...
"William Shatner stars in this hilarious, post Star Trek, psychological "thriller" about a playboy who has one big problem, he can't help killing all the women he falls in love with. You see, when he was a little boy he caught his mommy having sex with a crazed Vietnam vet. This bothered little Shatner, causing him to stab the bad man to death with a sword. Well now little Shatner is all grown up, complete with Dolomite wardrobe and smooth moves, and he is ready to take out his psychological trauma on every skirt he sees. Directed by Floridian exploitation great William Grefe, this amazing decent into career suicide is a must see for fans of William Shatner. Co-starring Harold Sakata, better known as Odd Job from the James Bond film Goldfinger, Impulse features some of the most amazingly bad acting ever caught on film. The scenes with Shatner and Sakata catching up on old times are stupefying in their ineptness and equally hilarious."
Poor man! He just didn't get it, obviously. Well, that's the way it is with genius like Shatner's. It leaves most people just at a loss, because it boldly goes where none have dared go before!
