Video posts don’t typically do super well on Lemmy but this one deserves attention. Just watch it. You’ll understand why.

Sidenote but the body double of Kirk is the same guy who is the voice over artist for Maul and Palpatine in the animated Star Wars stuff. Sam Witwer. Also known as Starkiller. You can really recognize him in a couple of the facial expressions during this video.

That’s extremely moving. Thank you for demanding that I watch it. I literally can’t stop crying in the kitchen.

Sweet onions don’t have the chemicals that cause eyes to tear up. Use those instead of white onions in your omelettes.

I love how official this is. Shatner in it, and produced it. Relevant family members also on the production team. Excellent effects, perfect mood and music, not one line of dialogue needed.

This needs to be added to every new release of Generations going forward.

Thank you for sharing it bud!

I don’t think that’s actually Shatner. It’s definitely not actually Nimoy. Or at least the video of their heads are taken from elsewhere and highly manipulated.

It is Shatner. He’s credited as Kirk, along with the body double. He definitely has tons of cgi make up on, but it’s him.

I think he’s credited as Kirk because of the VO.

Edit: I was essentially correct- https://home.otoy.com/unification/

The dude in the

early-TNG uniform is Yor, who briefly appeared in Discovery and was established to have travelled between the Prime and Kelvin universes.

Apologies if i’m stating the obvious

Yep! I recognized the bastard the second I saw him and was shocked that they brought him in for this moment. However, from a representation perspective of crossing from one universe into another, it’s an extremely beautiful way to do it.

Wow … thanks for this

I basically grew up in a world were Kirk and Spock were a normal part of the background of our lives … seeing Shatner and Nimoy was just part of growing up.

This really made me feel sad, nostalgic, happy, bitter and overjoyed … thanks to these people, my life was a bit more fun and happy and it still us through communities like this.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
