Is anyone else having problems reconciling these two?
Someone has to do something about him.
It’s Kirk, mutie, but not as we know him.
Very few of us are the same people we were when we were twenty-five or thirty. 
Get a picture of yourself at that age and put it by your bathroom mirror, and see how long you can stand it.
I’m going to have to agree with IB on this one. Yes, I can reconcile them, because I have lovely daughters in their 20s, and then I have…me. My husband with PCA cannot always do it, which is why he looks at me funny sometimes.
Not fair dwest.
How about this instead:
I stand stubbornly by the conviction that we don’t all have to turn into Queen Elizabeth. (though we do have to turn.)
OMG, did McGill give him an honorary degree???
Do you mean Dr. Shatner?
It’s not his physical appearance that bothers me. I know folks get old. It’s that he acts like a damn fool and there is no telling where he’s going to turn up on TV next. As my Aunt Maggie would say, “He’s like horse@#$%, all over the place.”
That’s why it’s called a Ph.D, Piled higher and Deeper.
The only place I see him now is sometimes on the Tonight Show. Actually, I find him to be kind of entertaining, more so than when he played the robotic Captain Kirk.

They named the student union building after him. Or tried to. He went to high school with my ex almost mother in law.
He is as big a self parody as Adam West. It is as if he stopped being an actor about the time he gave the Get a Life speech on Saturday Night Live. I was a science fiction nerd. The science fiction subculture let me be my self long enough to develop social skills. His insisting that it is simple to go get a life when you have been a social outcast for finding your own culture a bunch of arbitrary rules that do not make a lot of sense was on the face of it cruel. “Excuse me, Walmart associate, where are the lives?” “Isle 12, next to the Happily Ever Afters.” I have heard that Patrick Stewart had to sit him down and explain to him his responsibility to the fans. I hope that was not too much of a diatribe.
Game over. I win!!!
Cheers,
Kirk
he’s put a lot of miles on it
It is the time travel that does it I tell you. Even t’ Keef.

And Keith Richards doesn’t count. He doesn’t act no worse now then he did in his younger days.
