Video posts don’t typically do super well on Lemmy but this one deserves attention. Just watch it. You’ll understand why.

Sidenote but the body double of Kirk is the same guy who is the voice over artist for Maul and Palpatine in the animated Star Wars stuff. Sam Witwer. Also known as Starkiller. You can really recognize him in a couple of the facial expressions during this video.

      Yep! I recognized the bastard the second I saw him and was shocked that they brought him in for this moment. However, from a representation perspective of crossing from one universe into another, it’s an extremely beautiful way to do it.

    That’s extremely moving. Thank you for demanding that I watch it. I literally can’t stop crying in the kitchen.

    Wow … thanks for this

    I basically grew up in a world were Kirk and Spock were a normal part of the background of our lives … seeing Shatner and Nimoy was just part of growing up.

    This really made me feel sad, nostalgic, happy, bitter and overjoyed … thanks to these people, my life was a bit more fun and happy and it still us through communities like this.

    I cried in the theater when Kirk died at the end of Generations. I was 12 years old and sitting next to my dad who, looking back on it, was definitely emotional too.

    I saw no fucking whatsoever in that video. I am highly disappointed.

    But I also greatly enjoyed it, so thank you for sharing.

      anyone who enjoys trek. do this.

      was just interrupted by my kids and spouse 10 times(once in the bathroom) while trying to have a moment with this.

      didn’t even finish it because I’m disgusted.

      I’ll watch it later when I’m not so pissed.
