Captain Kirk is gonna be sending Sulu down to the planet to make first contact instead of the anonymous white guy who always gets killed.

There's a huge difference between personally knowing somebody and especially being friends, versus only working together. Also, don't forget that actors aren't their characters in real life.

Forgive me, but his bit at 0:24 confuses me - I'm not getting the reference. Can anyone clarify? Thank you

I was in the audience when he said this.

I’m forever always… On Team Shatner… 🔥⚡️🔥

George has been an obsessed crybaby for 50 years. He's totally envious of Bill's career post Trek. When Bill went into space, George said why did they choose an old, obese man. What if Shatner replied "because they didn't want an old, bitter gay man". George will die being jealous and hateful. And that's truly sad.

Sounds like two clashing personalities. George seems petty and Bill can come across as pompous. But that’s about it.

George Takei's a weird, creepy loser.

Maybe he just wanted to get to know him or he just wanted some of his good fortune to rub off, I don't know. There could be more than their allowed to say as well.

Cool finds.

It’s the only way George can get attention.

Takei is a perpetually miserable human being.

Shatner is always focused on the positives…! Legend !

Ok as the Captain isent it your job to know your crew’s capabilities , mate here you would be called F O S ( full of shit ) you are well well known for taking others lines just so you looked good , well FOS You can’t hide your ego trip . Cheers .

George is an angry drama queen B. All the attacks come from one side George.

Yeah hearing that I started digging into my TOS repertoire and he's right, Sulu had hardly any lines and mostly just stared back at the captains chair. He wasn't in many chapters, as someone that carried the name Sulu in star trek history would be thought to be. Also in the movies they seldon interacted beyong "Mr Sulu take us about to 436.7". The trinity was McCoy, Kirk and Spock. So nothing he said can be debunked. Its because we see the edited show and watch it over and over that maybe seen that they were like a big family. TOS isn't TNG.

George Takei lately is becoming even more unhinged. Far Left Loony Toon idiot. He wants to abolish the Constitution and put something worse in its place. The dude is utterly insane.

growing up in the 60's and 70's I could get to this road with a short hike through the woods behind my house. The two ends weren't paved connected back then. At some point the paving ended but you could get through following the tire track trails to the beginning of the other paved end four wheeling. I used to ride my dirt bike on it. You can see it's still a very narrow windy secluded road. I remember where there was a building that apparently burned down but didn't know it was a school. I was never on that road at night or ever heard of or saw any paranormal activity. There was also another dilapidated building in the woods at the granite quarry in the same general area. I always wondered what that building was for. It was a full size "home" with second story. Even had an old busted up piano so I don't think it was an office for the quarry.

But Lt. Sulu was Captain Kirk's right hand man....

Why do people make fun of will shatners acting?

Takei is a typical virtue-signaling left-wing Hollywood loon, and a perpetual victim.

Mr Shatner...Nobody would have ever herd of GAY BOY GEORGE, if not for YOU. PISS ON THE LITTLE FERRY, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT WHAT GEORGE SAYS.

Shatner worked day and night, Takei only came to shoot his scenes for a day or two.. when Shatner got more screen time and they took Takei's screen time, he couldn't swallow it, so the one sided feud began.. I don't think Shatner intentionally stole screen time from others, he just worked, was passionate and wanted to do more, but never realized that more meant less for others..

George Takei is an angry hate filled man who supports the very party that put him in an internment camp. That says alot

Surprise surprise . Of all the cast members , look which one has to be extra and controversial and attention seeking . 🤔

Shatner is a Trump... he is a self loving jackoff that is in love with his own voice. I met him a long while back and the dumbass will not change.

Takei is another self-important leftist. He does absolutely nothing and thinks that whatever small roles he had here and there or his politics or him being gay makes him someone of incredible consequence, and everyone needs to know what he has to say. Both he and Shatner have huge egos, but the difference is that Shatner isn't a sanctimonious prick.

Love ya Bill! Class act! Live long and I know you do prosper. 💗💗💗

Just saw a clip of shatner having an ego meltdown just because the production asked him to sound more excited. His response was crazy.

I think Shatner is correct here. People think because they were both in Star Trek they should be best friends. Are best friends with everyone at your workplace??

I like both actors and respect them but as said it is 40 years in the past and they were only colleagues. Nothing personal so I do Not understand the hating.

After reading these comments saying Shatner was an ass and people in the show hated him let me ask why one would invite an old past colleague whom you hated to your wedding. Then be so insulted that he didn't come that you spend the rest of your life maligning him? Someone has a personal problem.

The Shat has trouble speaking without a script.

Takei is like alot of gays Always needs to project onto people😢

George Takei is a jealous hater. He did nothing after Star Trek and was lucky to be on the show. He just wishes he was Captain Kirk. But he is not 1 millionth of the actor or man that William Shatner has proven himself to be.

Bill, the problem is that you were successful.

I thought they worked together more in the films

Here's the difference. Takei has put his personality defects out there for all to see. You only know about Shatner's personality defects from hearsay. One is certain. The other relies on the credibility of whoever's passing on the rumor. That's why Shatner comes out of this looking like the better man.

I had to stop following Takei years ago because his stuff was so mean-spirited. Then I read where he just pays people to write his posts, which somehow makes it worse. He's just a fading star trying to stay relevant, and pros like Shatner are easy targets. Shatner knows it, too. No reason to get in the gutter with those types.

Shatner doesn't need to justify or explain anything. Takei is simply a mentally ill peter-puffer with delusions of relevance. Eff him.

I love both actors, but there is A LOT of history Mr. Shatner isn’t mentioning

I get where William Shatner is coming from. I couldn't tell you the first thing about my co-workers private lives. I go in, I do my thing, I go home. I'm polite, we have the usual chitchat. That's it. I neither like nor dislike them. We're there to do a job. Movies are shot what, over 12 weeks or so? And it's not like every actor is in every scene together. I'd wager on a film like Wrath of Khan they met a few times in rehearsal, then on set, and I imagine they barely spent more than a couple of days or week together in total.

Takei is a diva. He felt slighted by everyone and was always envious of the limelight. Others were hurt that Shatner didn't take a personal interest in them, but Shatner never wronged them. He did his job. He was a professional. He never insulted any of them like Takei does him.

Actors are co-coworkers. They only had three seasons. This makes a lot of sense to me.

I think someone has a shat-CRUSH, OOoooh Myyyyy

I've actually seen behind-the-scenes silent films from some of the original shoots showing Shatner as a practical joker and he appeared to be annoying to others on the set. Shatner was a prima donna actor and was likely insensitive to the "little people" on the set. Age has brought his ego down a bit, but you can just imagine the ego he had in the heyday of Star Trek. That he barely remembers them at all is your first clue.

George lost his mind many years ago. Too bad. I used to have a lot of respect for him. Bill is awesome and will always be!

I suppose if you wanted to know what the beef was, you could take the same amount of time this speech took to go see what the man said. Or just ask one of your associates who is well versed in the lore of the only reason you are famous. But here we see just a repetition of the statement that in 50 years, you haven't bothered to do so. That does smack of the sense that this lesser light was not worth even that much time, that he could not possibly have had a point, and he should merely be grateful to have briefly enjoyed the radiance of his betters. If a key-grip writes a tell-all about the abuses of a famous director on his shoots, I don't imagine the great auteur would get much mileage declaiming that honestly, he never noticed the man. Declaring that you didn't notice the people around you is not the best defense against accusations of mistreatment Bill.

The wacky part is george and william both have the same diction or something like that😂

Shatner is a national treasure.
