What a terrific interview -- best Shatner interview I've ever seen/heard of him.

I think I understand his feeling of loneliness. In his continual strive to do more and be the best, he alienates himself from the people around him -- but he doesn't realize himself that he is doing this, and it doesn't make him a bad person. I think we've all known people like that -- good people who are sometimes hard to get along with even while admiring their work ethic.

A thought anyway.

I've never been a huge fan of Mr. Shatner but this interview has certainly changed my mind.

Bravo sir.

I love this interview, just watched it for the second time. Jian, your talent as a host shines sometimes in what you say, but in this interview it is in the quiet moments when you let us share the emotions of Mr. Shatner. I love the honesty of this conversation. Truly inspiring.

"I ran across the street."

He ended that interview with a bang. Loved it.

@DAokkd for classic Shatner in his prime, check out some of the original star trek episodes. very cheesy, predictable, misogynistic, bad choreography, with different writers for most episodes, most of which have silly plot lines and bad dialogue... but somehow, as a whole, I find it watchable and very entertaining.

he also made 6 star trek movies. first two are pretty good, much cleaner than the episodes.

I had no idea that it was still possible to have an intelligent conversation with a celeberty. Thank you.

However, there were no 'tough' questions. IE: Has Star Trek contributed to the 'dumbing' of the culture? Does self-depreciation allow him to surrepetiously elevate himself?

Overall, a great contribution.

And no questions about the REALLY bad Star Trek movies. Why do they all suck?

Fantastic interview, especially the conversation on death.

@Gauky1976 just wanted to say the same thing.

Towards the end it stops being an interview and becomes a very honest conversation between two men. William Shatner is awesome and I'm one of his biggest fans.

[DAokkd]

That was most excellent. Never actually seen any of his stuff, but that doesn't seem necessary - this interview just cuts right to the core. Well done.
