George Takei discusses William Shatner - EMMYTVLEGENDS.ORG

Great stuff

Once, when I saw Jimmy Doohan @ a convention in B'ham, AL, I asked Doohan if he had ANYTHING good to say about William Shatner. Doohan's reply: "Very little."

i share a birthday with this guy

I've been looking for the clip of George on Conan, watching the two captains on horses in Generations. George was wearing his old red shirt, talking to the film clip. Something about "You think that wig makes you look younger than Patrick" (He's not.) "Yuuuuuuuurrrr sooooo FAT! Yuuuurrr kiling thatt horse!"

[bluecollarcanuck]

Yeah, Goerge ain't kidding.....James Doohan couldn't stand being in Bill's presence by the time the movie series was over, from what I understand. And one of the best ST moments ever came at Bill's Roast: George: "Bill, I've been waiting 40 years to say this: "Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On!"" XD

[RexRocker1979]

They just need a nice long bro hug

[bryonlape]

Both are Divas.

[CatspitProductions]

I think they both have big egos. Come get some Catspit~! ☠

[lunhil12]

One fine actors respect for another. We don't always like the people we have to work with but you can admire talent. Mr. Takei shows the quality of his character here, always a gentleman.

[AtenRa]

Fuck you, Shatner, and the horse you rode in on!

[Dragonking1984]

what i love is when shatner is told about things takei said he's like "huh? i don't know why he's upset it's a mental thing with him." and all i can do is say "um bill what's the mystery? George thinks your a grade A doushbag that has a ego the size of the known universe." but to be fair it's not like Takei don't have one either. i guess they just clash cause Takei was sick of playing second banana to Shatner.

[photon72]

Everytime Takei talks my brain bleeds a little.

[robynnowlan]

I think takei handled it  well

[weregecko]

Very classy way to call Shatner a self-centered prick. Almost complimentary.

[IWannabeJew]

Kirk may be the Captain, but it just isn't the Enterprise without Sulu. Everyone has a place to sit on the bridge.  Well, I dunno. Spock always stands, doesn't he?

[ohmydinosare]

@IWannabeJew He has a chair, he just tends to stand next to it more often than he sits in it...

[Trekkie1237]

Am I the only one who ADORES his voice? He has such a calming, melodic voice...

[painkiller1968]

Takei can piss and moan all he likes, Shat was the star of the show his name was first. That's what it means to be a supporting cast member Georgey. Obviously this show was not the type to complain on. He was nicer than usual.

[GoldenShellback1]

C'mmon people Capt. Kirk is not the enemy and neither is Sulu. The klingons are the enemy.

[shinku3]

@GoldenShellback1 I believe there was a treaty made with a the Klingons. The Cardassians are the enemy now. Get with the times.

[BaldingEagle51]

It's OK George, you can level with us. We all hate him too! ;P

[snosslehop]

Thats a long way around saying someone is an A-hole lol! But well done for not lowering ureself :O)

[brainstormnl]

@snosslehop L.O.L Indeed

[teedlebomb1]

Classy George, classy.

[ginko27]

A few days ago Takei and Shatner were at eachother's throats AGAIN! It's like they are obbsesed with each other? CNN had an article where Shatner questioned the logic of Takei using his Captain's pic and signing A.K.A Capt Sulu when he was best known as being the helmsman of the Enterprise. Takei said Shatner's ego can't accept that there are other captains besides himself, and he's still in shock that somewhere a new Trek movie is being made and he's not standing in front of the camera!

[Scottishscot1Numbah1]

@ginko27 Sulu Became Captain Of The USS Exiler In One Of The Star Trek Movies

[Chucklehound]

@Scottishscot1Numbah1 - USS Excelsior in Star Trek VI.

[cryptrider1]

It makes you wonder if Shatner would do the same for Takei.

[mastermold2011]

Wow, he was actually complimentary of Shatner. Thought he would take yet another opportunity to just run him into the ground. Very surprising.

[Mazvec]

@mastermold2011 I know, it's totally contrary to what's come before. Maybe he's mellowing with age. It would be awesome if the 2 of them could bury the hatchet before they pass.
