	I wish Wheaton had a little bit of gravitas, but his version is definitely more engaging. I only lasted a minute through Shatner's reading. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That, too. It's mostly that Wheaton sounds like he's going to start hyperventilating from the COOL SCIENCE and Shatner is doing the generic science narrator voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Other than liking the video, I don't know. Maybe I could start a poll on my LJ or on Daily Kos. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I hate when people refer to an inanimate object as "she". I find it gross and insulting somehow. If I could figure out how to vote, I'd for for my boyfriend, William Shatner. (Reply to this)
