Nerthus_water_nymph xXSuperWhateverXx @Nerthus_water_nymph. Yeah I've heard about the wedding and seen the roast. I also agree with you on the feud. There is no way Takei hates Shatner if he gave him that hug on the roast. Although, I think we can agree that he may not like Shatner much. A lot of the people who worked with him found him difficult to work with. The only people on TOS who didn't have any difficulty working with him were Kelley and Nimoy. I agree with you that he's hard to work with you can see it through his own words in the book Star Trek Movie Memories. I haven't read all the way through it yet, I've just skimmed it, I'm going to read it after my psychology final. Yeah, I've also gone on his Youtube channel. I've seen the videos of him talking about the feud with Takei, and the wedding. People in the comments have speculated the following, with most of the cast of TOS: *They hated his guts because he was difficult to work with *Jealous of his success *Takei possibly had a crush on Shatner *Takei bashing Shatner to get Media attention I think that's it.

I don't fully see it as Takei bashing Shatner, more often than not when Takei says something that could be seen as malicious towards Shatner someone else said it before him and he rolled with it or he over dramatized it to the point its funny kinda like you can talk about your family in frustration from being around them for too long and still love them

Oh yeah, that's true.
I think that some of them in TOS damaged their careers after it. Not because of being type-casted but, because Shatner may have hogged the spotlight. Well, that's what I heard anyway..

Well, that's what I heard anyway.. Which is really sad, because ol' Bill was easily the worst actor on the show. (Except maybe Doohan. That accent was terrible.)

Shatner stated in his biography on the Bio channel that at first he didn't realize that he was speaking oddly, it wasn't till many years later did he figure it out. I think he dose it now as a trademark thing kinda like Owen Wilson and his nose.

I also heard that he was the only living (at the time) cast member to not lend his voice to that Futurama episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before." I wonder why?

No one really knows but its been speculated that he didn't like the idea of taking part in something that was a spoof of Star Trek.

I've also heard that, he has had alzheimers a little while before he died. Maybe he wasn't well enough to go?
