I got four words: Bill, don't do it. I don't trust Berman as much as Braga. If Manny Coto wants Bill, then it's okay, but if it's Berman, it's an inter-office political ploy to reclaim his position as a showrunner.
If he doesn't do it, Nimoy wiil steal his gig...
"Oh hey, Bill...thought you were room service..." :D
Strictly Speaking
Oh no it's the old "Quick the ratings are flagging, draught in a popular character from one of the other series will you!" ploy... except I will probably cry at the horrendous continuity errors they employ to squeeze them in ! :D - having Barklay appear as a holodeck character in the Delta quadrant is.. possible - having captain Kirk, who will no doubt look much older now than when he died in the 24th century ( :D ) will be just nasty ! :)

Bill will look older? Damn....that's gonna piss him off after all the effort (and corsets) he has worn!

Wasn't there talk that Shatner would come back to play Kirk's grandfather in season 4 a while back? Or heck, if they're doing time travel, the NX-01 could even stumble across the Enterprise A. Now THAT would be a perfect fanboy moment! :D
That's the rumor, yup.Quote:

Essentially, this is just more stunt casting; And while it can surprise you and actually be good (KISS lead singer Paul Stanley in the Michael Crawford role in a Toronto production of Phantom Of The Opera comes to mind), usually it just comes back to bite the show in the ass. ("The Rock" in the Voyager ep "Tsunkatse")
Is that a motorcycle I hear revving?
That'd be cool.
