Walter Koenig's Bad Day

From the press conference held for Star Trek V.
First, William Shatner forgets Walter Koenig's name, then he has to suffer through bad booze.

Now, having worked with Koenig on and off for 20 or so years (and even directing Star Trek V), it's unlikely that Shatner didn't know his name, and probably had a brain fart the way most of us do. It is funny, however, to play to the Mythos that Shatner is such a jerk that he didn't even know Walter Koenig's name.

And his expression after the drink was absolutley priceless.

LOL!! His face was priceless.

It was rude of Shatner to call Walter by his character's name :(

I guess that is why some cast members (i.e. Takei) hate Shatner

God...everybody here has a visceral contempt for William Shatner. Oh I'm sure that he feels that it's totally beneath him to actually dress-up in the Star Trek uniform and parade around on a set when he's not in front of the camera while the rest of the entire cast is just lucky to have some work. But I'm sure that while he see's himself as being above the original cast, the original cast see's themselves as being above the various spin-off cast members as well. The Star Trek pecking order. lol

The ideas, adventures and friendships of Star Trek is still cool to me. It's a pity that the real life didn't hold up.
