The man is an evergreen enigma, and has been hogging the limelight ever since donning the famous costume of the Commanding Officer of the USS Enterprise and even today, more than 40 years after that day, he is still going strong.

That man is Captain William of Shatnerville and he is once again under the spotlight, this time at the 2011 Comic Con at San Diego, for a little something that William Shatner likes to call as Shatnerpalooza!

Shatner what?

Yes people, stand up and take notice of another William Shatner special – The Captains – an in-depth tale of the people who have graced the role of Captain James T. Kirk, featuring actors from the time of Shatner himself right down to the stint of handsome Chris Pine.

The documentary is an ode to the role of Captain Kirk and the kind of impact the role has had on the various generations since its inception. And it has surprise appearances by Scott Bakula, Chris Pine, Kate Mulgrew and Patrick Stewart, which is a very welcome added bonus.

William Shatner, in the documentary talks about the stigma surrounding the role of Kirk. Yes people, the role was once known as the Kiss of Death to any actor’s professional career, but thanks to Shatner, this popular idea was proved wrong, very wrong if I may add.

And you can only guess how the audiences at the San Diego Comic Con would’ve reacted to the opening of the film made by one of their idols, who’s among the most famous actors of all times.

Shatner and his lovely wife, Elizabeth, were reportedly thrilled on seeing the number of people who had turned up for the screening.

As expected, Shatnerpalooza was a big success! Stating precisely, it was a 48-hour long marathon of William Shatner’s television shows and movies at the Comic Con, for all the fans to watch.

The man and the role shall forever remain etched in our minds! Let’s embark on another Shatnerpalooza by catching all those memorable Star Trek episodes online.

Folks, are you ready for something different?

A change from the lame music on love, betrayal and broken hearts?

Is that a YES?

I can’t make it out from all the noise.

Ok, I’ll take it as a yes!

Then gear up, folks; because Captain Kirk is back with his brand new album.

By Captain Kirk, I mean William Shatner, who played the iconic role of James T Kirk in the cult series, Star Trek.

Shatner, who entered the music industry with his 1968 album, ‘The Transformed Man’, is known for his unusual parodied approach to music.

But because of some divine luck, his music strikes a chord with a large chunk of people. Critics always had a special liking for his works and never let an opportunity pass to ridicule his music sense.

Well, the critics can say what they want to say, the public loves Shatner and that’s what matters.

The track which propelled him into the music industry was Sonny & Cher’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.”

After that, he never turned around and went on to write his name among the bests of the music industry. Since the past forty years, he has been gratifying the palates of music lovers, who crave for that one thing, that is truly different.

Sources reveal that his upcoming cover album, ‘Searching For Major Tom’ is inspired from space elements (like we could not have guessed that). The album boasts of a large number of heavy metal tracks, as well as songs from iconic names like U2, Frank Sinatra, Queen and Pink Floyd.

Shatner goes way back in the world of flashing lights and has proven his mettle as an actor, musician, author, producer and director.

Man, how can one achieve so much in just a single lifetime?

Well, maybe being a space man helps.

His latest offering will surely create ripples in the music world, while Captain Kirk will grin from his space craft.
