It’s difficult to judge what non-Trekkies will think of William Shatner’s cinematic quest to track down and interview all of the actors who have played Captains in the Star Trek movie and television universe. The interviews aren’t very in-depth, and Shatner’s interview style is a manic mix of pit-bull aggression and fawning reverence (often in the same question), but there’s a sincerity there that can’t be denied. Shatner really wants to know why these other actors wanted to sit in the captain’s chair after him. And it doesn’t take very long to realize how important that phrase — ‘after him’ — is to the original Capt. James T. Kirk. The passion they all bring to their parts, and the fondness they have for the fans who helped make their accomplishments part of entertainment history, is palpable.
