William Shatner Slams European Union Gender Equality Proposal to Ban Star Trek’s Iconic, “To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before”
Canadian actor William Shatner, 92, best known for his role playing Captain James T. Kirk in the 1960s television series Star Trek, slammed a proposal by the European Union to ban the series’ iconic show-opening phrase, “To boldly go where no man has gone before,” in the name of gender equality and sensitivity.
The original Star Trek spoken word intro: “Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
