William Shatner and Jesse Lumsden discuss bobsleigh, carbonite and the Molson beer fridge

The Olympics are crazily popular around the world, and there are always plenty of celebrities watching and tweeting about them. In London two years ago, Samuel L. Jackson captivated the world with his Olympic tweets, and at these Sochi Games, one of the most notable commentators has been William Shatner. Shatner, the Canadian-born actor who's apparently a big fan of the American bobsled team now (although his loyalties are divided when it comes to the Canada-U.S. women's hockey showdown), has been talking about the Olympics a lot recently, including posting the medal count, and he got into a fascinating conversation with Canadian bobsledder (and former CFLer) Jesse Lumsden early Wednesday morning. Here it is:

That's just an amazing discussion. Shatner, of course, is referencing American bobsledder Johnny Quinn's various misadventures in Sochi, which, so far, have included being trapped in a bathroom (which he then smashed his way out of) and stuck in an elevator. Lumsden's response with a picture of a sculpture of Han Solo frozen in carbonite is perfect trolling, as that's from Star Wars and Shatner famously starred as the original Captain Kirk in Star Trek. (Don't even ask about the Star Wars - Star Trek fanbase wars.) It's great to see Shatner respond to Lumsden, though; someone with 1.75 million followers probably gets a lot of unnecessary mentions, but not only did he pick up on Lumsden being an athlete himself, he retweeted the comment and responded. Lumsden's line about Canadians not smack-talking is also hilarious, as is Shatner's comment on the beer fridge. The cherry on top is Lumsden's planned international celebration, though. If he's able to pull that off, we have just one thing to say: beam us up, Scotty!
