Well, however stated that (I don't remember), should not become a critic. At the time ST was starting, William Shatner was one of the highest praised actors in television. Many critics were telling others to watch him, because his career would be a great one. Unfortunately, he got typecast and his career went hardly anywhere until T.J. Hooker. I have no seen an episode of T.J. Hooker, so I can't really say how he comes across on t.v. anymore, but on the big screen he still looks pretty good. Too bad he didn't have the career he was expected to. Maybe television wouldn't be the cesspool it is right now. Star-Lord They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they became heroes.
