Via Trektoday: Shatner, Stewart Discuss Changes In Lives, Star Trek
Shatner said that if he could talk to the producers of Star Trek, he would say, “‘You gotta get outa there, guys. Bring a new team in and see ya later.’” He thinks the franchise should begin again from scratch “with some wonderful writers who love Star Trek” and laughed, when fans shouted that he should do it, “If I’m elected…!”
He is right about the current team (excepting Coto) needing to “get outta here.”
Based on Trek V, I am unlikley to be nominating him to take over, however. Although I will say that the stuff he has done with the Reeves-Stevens has ranged from the decent to the quite good and they work they did on Enterprise was top notch (although too little, too late).
Shatner wouldn’t get my vote either.
BTW, I watched First Contact last night - very good, thanks.

No way on Shatner back at Star Trek. He’s too perfect as Denny Crane.
