I know this is typically a meme community, but in the Trek spirit, I’m sharing what is a pretty rare, new Mr. Plinkett video from the folks over at RedLetterMedia!

    if you comment about this on the YT video, you may get a response from them, lol

    Mike (who does the Mr. Plinkett character) is a ST geek on the level of a lot of us here, has replied to me on YT a couple of times when I pointed out mistakes or oversights in previous YT videos. He’s pretty friendly, and they’re a good bunch. In fact, Mike and RLM’s twitter handle are famously blocked by William Shatner due to some silly misunderstanding/dispute. As a result of this dumbness, it was soon thereafter revealed that Shatner’s Twitter isn’t run by him (not a surprise) but by some publicist he gave carte blanche to and has been wildly misrepresenting him online for years. Shatner eventually got wind of this, and almost fired him over it, telling him to tone it down for making him look bad, all because some RLM fans raised a stink about it to Shatner at a convention, lol. Whaat it was really all about is Shtner’s publicist snubbing RLM years ago when they asked for an interview, and the publicist (as Shatner) replying with “I don’t do podcasts” (which RLM isn’t) and then Shatner appearing in a actual (shitty) podcast days later.

    Anyway…
