It’s a silver lining to see Shatner using his platform for the greater good.

Yeah, I always thought he was kind of a douche, but I guess his heart is in the right place.

Yeah, it’s shatner so you expect him to be crass, and you forget he was the first star trek captain. and agreed with the ideas being shown on screen (unlike, IDK, Barclay’s actor)

Jeffrey Hunter was the first Star Trek captain.

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realise the starring role of the TOS series , Captain Kirk was played by Jeffrey Hunter. How many episodes was he in?

Captain Christopher Pike was played by Jeffery Hunter in the first Star Trek series, but was only in the pilot or something before Shatner took the reins. If you were sincerely asking.
