🦎💥🖖 Shatner vs. Gorn: The Rematch We Never Knew We Needed

Just when you thought the 1967 Star Trek showdown between Captain Kirk and the Gorn couldn’t get any campier, along comes this glorious gem: . Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s ridiculous. And yes, it’s everything a retro-futurist, genre-blending mythmaker like me could ask for.

In this lovingly absurd promo, William Shatner—still channeling Kirk with all the theatrical gusto of a space opera Shakespeare—faces off once again against his old reptilian nemesis. The Gorn, ever the rubber-suited icon of slow-motion menace, returns with claws, hisses, and a grudge that’s aged like fine Romulan ale.

✨ Highlights:

• Shatner’s dramatic pauses are now legally considered time travel.

• The Gorn’s fighting style? Somewhere between interpretive dance and backyard wrestling.

• The set design feels like it was borrowed from a haunted tiki bar on Mars.

So cue the theremin...
