Shatner's best Star Trek moments as he turns 93.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT William Shatner, who plays the iconic Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series, celebrates turning 93 on March 22, 2024. The actor behind the franchise’s most famous captain, William Shatner, was born in Montreal on March 22, 1931.
Captured to extort a supply of phasers from Captain Kirk's Enterprise, Kirk demonstrates originality, creativity, and quick thinking to stage an escape. As their guards pass time with card games, Kirk subtly diverts them with Fizzbin, a card game with complex, meandering rules to bamboozle and confound. Kirk and his friends are quickly able to overcome the distracted guards and escape.
8 Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 2, Episode 6 - "The Doomsday Machine" Captain Kirk risks his life to destroy the planet killer. Close When Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise find a distress signal from the USS Constellation in the wake of a trail of ruined worlds, they embark on a deadly quest of sacrifice and survival.
In “The Deadly Years,” a rapidly aging Captain Kirk is removed from command, with Commodore Stocker taking over in his stead. Stocker quickly has the Enterprise violating the Neutral Zone and under attack. When the virus’ potential remedy “could cure or kill,” Kirk doesn’t hesitate to receive the first dose. Recovered, he returns to the bridge and broadcasts a bluff over a coded channel known to be broken by the Romulans, allowing for the Enterprise’s escape.
With Star Trek’s two most iconic figures pitted against each other in a battle for survival, this episode – and fight scene – marks a significant moment for Captain James T. Kirk, carefully navigating a sensitive cultural ritual and now facing a personal no-win scenario. As Kirk struggles between the choice of killing Spock or being killed by Spock, it’s Dr. McCoy who ultimately saves both parties.
