Spock was on the maiden crew with Number 1 and Captain Pike, so maybe Nimoy will play Spock's father's father who drops him off at the academy on the first day of space school. The elder Nimoy still has cheekbones, after all.
Shatner, on the other hand, now looks like a demented kewpie doll with his generous red, rosy cheeks, and therefore could only be believable as a Buddy Lee-shaped asteroid that they pass before they finally get back to the V-ger planet in time for the resurrection of the dead bald chick from the very first movie who will proceed to dance with Ricardo Montablan and Joan Collins, who all laugh mockingly at Bill (Mr. Lonely) Shatner. At least, that's what he dreams every night. Heartbroken Bill then hits the convention circuit with all of the acerbic bitterness of 1970s-era Foster Grant shade-tippin' Clayton Moore who wasn't allowed to wear his Lone Ranger mask anymore because they didn't want him to frighten any potential new fans.
I'm guessing the meeting with J.J.didn't go well.
