I don’t picture Stewart with cats-maybe poodles and yorkies?

Shatner is also fond of horses in his “real life”-he rides and owns several of them.

Most Brits with any pretention to class own and ride horses-even my Brit neighbor does-but I don’t know if Stewart has equestrian skills...

I liked DS9, too-it was such an improvement over that awful sequel with Captain Janeway, or whatever her name was...

So did I, especially in the first episodes-I suppose I’d been expecting the Captain to have Kirk’s balls-to-the-wall way of dealing with problems-not acting like some college law professor...

Nope.

Stewart has cats.

Shatner has some incredible show horses and has had both them and the Dobes since his Star Trek days.

His most recent Dobes

Guess who I prefer.

Steward is an admitted socialist. Though, he does admit he did smile and wave like a “silly schoolboy” when GBush passed him at an event.

Kirk knew the E Plebnista by heart.

JTK will be born in Riverside, Iowa. Iowa has two Republican Senators and three of four Representatives. Unless things change between now and March 22, 2233, it’s more likely he is a Republican than Democrat.

Those are nice looking dogs-cuties.

I can’t imagine an animal as independent as a cat being a pet to a person who leans socialist-it isn’t like they can be totally controlled-my 3 rebel at the mere hint...

DS9 greatly improved once it got a more continuous story line. I think Babylon 5 pushed it hard.

Competition is good.

There are no Muslims in Star Trek.

Hmmm.

I don't know if Stewart does, but Picard was an equestrian. http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Horseback_riding

jjabrams or original series?

in jjabrams he decides to kill kirk’s father.

in the original series, kirk’s father was present at the ceremony where he took command of the enterprise for the first five year mission. (NCC-1701, no a, b, c, d, or bloody e)
