What??? *No* more Shatner??? As in, at all?? Well, hell. :(

I didn't realize he'd go away altogether if he lost. I might have voted for him, just so there'd still be fodder, er, I mean so he'd stick around.

And on why he was Captain on the show, and why he got to seduce all the green alien women (this is a no-brainer); He might not have been a decent actor, but back then? He *was* one of the sexiest things on TV (for women). If I got TV at all, I might watch him with the sound down even now.

Watch Spock for the intelligence and decent acting, watch Kirk to see how fast he can get his shirt ripped.
