David Carson was not the most accomplished feature film director. He only directed one minor film before Generations, so maybe he wasn't the best choice... but he did direct four episodes of TNG- including Yesterday's Enterprise- and four episodes of DS9 before filming Generations, so I think he had a pretty good understanding of what makes a Star Trek movie.

Maybe Bill is just not the actor he thinks he is.

Sad. I thought the joke was that Mr Shatner was also the director of that one. That would have been a funny self-own that shows self-awareness

Shatner has no self-awareness. Did you ever hear the "sabotage" outtake from TOS?

Oooh, that's his Canadian showing.

"Pasta." "Salsa for the nachos." "Nazis." All with that short "a as in cat" sound.

He was probably pretty pissed that he slipped and got called on it. Any actor working for a US market would know how odd it would sound south of the boarder.
