   The guy has every right to ask whatever he wants for his   
   time. If Paramount don't think he's worth it they don't   
   have to hire him, it's not like he has a gun to their head   
   or anything. Remember they went to him, not vice versa.   
      
   Shatner just won an Emmy, just got the lead in a new series.   
   He has no need to do guest appearences on the cheap if he   
   doesn't want to.
