It's been a while since I've seen it, but as I recall it's a pretty decent sci-fi movie. And it's the only serious role that I think I've ever seen him in. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 months ago He was a dramatic actor up until he did Airplane!

Part of that groundbreaking film stuff starting in that decade, kicking off our modern understanding of the genre. Twilight Zone also comes to mind. Currently watching season 2 of it.

(I fly a lot and even learned to fly gliders/sailplanes back in the day, so definitely not afraid of flying, but if I'm ever sat next to William Shatner I'm deplaning. No point taking chances. ;-).) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago* I have not seen this episode yet (it's in season 5, just checked). Definitely looking forward to it! We just watched the "Nick of time" episode not to long. Came as a surprise that Shatner was in there - it was kind of a culture shock for my son, suddenly seeing "Captain Kirk" as a superstitious groom in a 50s era dinner... :-) permalink fedilink source parent
