William Shatner has a documentary called “The Captains” coming out on the EPIX Channel July 21st. As the name implies, he will be sitting down with all of the Star Trek captains for a one-on-one interview. This includes Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks, Scott Bakula and Chris Pine.
Apparently, Chris Pine was a little shy about coming face-to-face with a legend. Shatner tells Canoe.ca:
He’s shy. So the way I started the interview, I put out a table and chairs outside the Paramount gates, and arm-wrestled with him. That was the beginning of my interview with him. I think it broke the ice, that’s for sure.
But who the hell won? I assume it’s Pine based on the youth factor—but I’ll leave it up to you to decide who would have won if both captains were in their prime.

Finally, the missing piece of that classic Star Trek diorama you have been working on—Captain Kirk in his command chair. The bonus is that this version features light up control panels and voice / sound effects from the series.
