It...all...makes...sense, now. Yes, I see it. That would explain a lot.

But--does that mean Shatner is only the first of many Zergs we can expect? Will there be a Shatnerian invasion fleet, taking over our airwaves with spastic acting, and our films with awful direction?

I think...I think it's already happened.

Witness this photograph, proof that more Zergs are already here:

Shatnerian Brood Zerglings with Zerg sympathizer Jay Leno. Mr. Leno was consumed by the voracious aliens following the taking of this photograph.

T.J. Hooker...cameos in TNG movies...Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds...even our literature is not spared the chitinous horror of the slavering Shatnerian Brood, for "Tekwar" continues to infest the shelves of major booksellers worldwide.

May Bob help us all. I need another drink.

Now, that's just gross. I mean, I only enforce Buck's anti-cursing rules; In reallife, many people will tell you that I've got a pretty colorful vocabulary. (Probably comes from all those years spent working in radio.) But putting up that horrific image, well, that's truly evil.

Really?

I finally made it to the big time. I did something that fable has branded as...evil. I think I'll call a chiropractor.

*bows*

Now, let's not make an already terrifying concept even worse. Bad enough, we've had to endure the Shatner twins, above, courtesy of Chanak's Evil Twin. Now, we'll get Leonard Nimoy singing about love and understanding in such a way as to make Donovan go to work in a munitions factory.

(I hope I don't have to explain to anybody here who Donovan is. Younguns.

Who's Donovan?

Yeah, fable...

...explain to us please who are chronologically-challenged.

Who's Donovan?

edit- What about a Nimoy/Shatner a capella duet?

Dear Gods, what do they teach kids these days? Next you're going to ask me who Melanie is.

Donovan (Donovan Philip Leitch) was the archtypical "flower child" of the sixties, that is, if you factor in a sense of humor and a gift for melody. His biggest hits were probably "They Call Me Mellow Yellow," and "Hurdy Gurdy Man." He initially settled in Glasgow, and later moved to County Cork. He usually had very good accompaniment on his albums from people like Jimmy Page and and Jeff Beck. Paul McCartney did occasional cameos, and George Harrison played lead guitar on some of his stuff.

He gave it all up in the 1980s, selling a mansion and Rolls Royce, marrying his teenage sweetheart, and moving to a commune where he raised a family. A decade later, he resurfaced, and issued a record. He's been touring occasionally since, but his appeal is either to an older generation, now, who recall the idealism and psychodelic imagery without shuddering over paisley.

I actually pulled out a couple of old Donovan LPs I've still got in my collection. (I was never into the counterculture--it seemed as commercially manipulated as the mainstream culture--but I admired its values, which were actually part of an American continuum stretching back to the communes of the 19th century.) They weren't half bad, and certainly nowhere near as over-engineered as other stuff from the period.

The end of the world is upon us. Behold, hippies rise from the dead, Shatner is worshiped as a god, and Gordon Liddy has a talk show. What next? Will Phyllis Diller arise to be Bill's consort?

Phyllis Diller, goddess in-waiting
