He was sent to the planet as punishment but they were forgotten about! So from his character's perspective, he was right to go after who he thought had done this to him.

Let's look at these detractors. Shatner and Nimoy are authors, producers and actor. Takei is queer. Nichelle hasn't been played with by a dog since Roddenberry did, It's only Nimoy that pulled them back into the Star Trek Universe out of some stupid sense of loyalty or they never would have worked again.

The principle actors on the show were Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley. Some of the others were only in each episode for a matter of minutes, and sometimes not at all. In shooting terms, Takei to Shatner was a guy who came in occasionally, did his scene and left. If Takei wasn't in a scene, he wouldn't be on set, and unless Shatner shared that scene with him, he wouldn't be there either. So yes, I find it very plausible that Shatner didn't really 'know' him in that respect.

Personally I had a wonderful experience meeting William Shatner back in the 70's and later in 2017. He shook my hand and everything. My brother met and chatted with Leonard Nimoy a few years ago where he worked. He even made Nimoy laugh really hard, too. My brother worked at a Marriot in North Carolina and when Nimoy, a guest staying there, was getting on the elevator, my brother was asked to carry Nimoy's luggage. Ny brother, a so-so Star Trek fan (He's only into football), however, did recognized Nimoy. He remained stoic and professional as he entered the elevator with Nimoy. But Nimoy guffawed when my brother spoke to the Marriot elevator taking them both to Nimoy's floor; he said loudly enough for Nimoy to catch it; he said, ,"Bridge!" Nimoy, who had been equally quite and stoic as well, broke his silence, laughing and telling my brother, "That's a good one!? He invited my brother to have a drink with him after work, but my brother had to get home to watch his beloved football. Had that been me, I have joined Nimoy for a drink or two.

Shatner. Nimoy. Kelly. Doohan. Nichols. Plus a superb supporting cast, and some of the best writing and directing to ever appear on-screen. The talents and personalities of those actors DEFINED the characters they played. A half-century later, their work is legendary. A century from now, it will STILL be legendary. William Shatner, I guess, is a complete package. Along with the talent and ability to COMPLETELY DEFINE his character (Capt. Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane), there must be a strong ego to go with it. There HAS to be. Let’s give the man his props. Hollywood is a competitive environment and a “contact sport”. Did “personality” issues hurt “original” Trek? Maybe. But the magic was always there, those issues aside. We got to enjoy it for three ground-breaking seasons and six theatrical movies (again,TOS cast). Even the Shatner-directed ST:V had it’s moments.

@@AgentM79 Back in the seventies, my parents caught Shatner in summer stock in "There's a Girl in my Soup' in update NY. They said he was really good. He is a trained stage actor, and as a community theater performer myself, I know you have to overplay your part more to look normal to the audience. More projection is needed. That's why Shatner always seemed to be overacting. He never learned to come down in front of a camera. Nevertheless, "Boston Legal" was a great show during his scenes.

Just a thought: is it just a teeny bit possible that Takei's comments about Shatner and Nimoy may not be intended to be taken entirely seriously? I have to agree with him on Khan - I was a bit mystified when Cumberbatch was revealed to be Khan, as the whole point of Khan's character is that he is a wannabe Sikh prince, and Cumber-Khan defeats that purpose (and would possibly have been better used as a different villain). However, I think it also must be said that Benedict Cumberbatch is an incredible actor, and his performance in 'Into Darkness' was phenomenal. I just almost wish he'd been given a different character to work with.

He said Shatner never took his parts,was always very friend to all and very professional. Shatner has been in many films TV series etc and all of them state love and respect for him. Makes one think. When one listens closely to those 4 they share a sense of entitlement. Takei admitted being angry at Koenig whom he had not even met at the time because he got the role which originally was Takei but Takei was still busy on a film when the new season of Star Trek began. Nichelle described on video how the big shots were against her and Shatner's interracial kiss. Shatner,however insisted that it was in the script and must be done. Then they decided to shoot one with and one without the kiss. Shatner then said to start with the kiss. He was,however not satisfied with the scene until there was just enough time for filming one scene without the kiss. Then Shatner crossed when he looked up and that scene was spoiled. When the big shots later discovered it they then allowed the scene with the interracial kiss. Nicholls ONLY CREDITED THE BIG SHOTS. THERE WAS NO ACKNOWLEDMENT, CREDIT OR APPRECIATION FOR SHATNER WHO FOUGHT AND SAVED HER DIGNITY. NONE WHATSOEVER. SHE ONLY SAID CREDIT TO THE BIG SHOTS ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WOW!!!!

I find Takei a bit annoying. He comes off a brat who's pissed because Shatner and Nimoy were the bigger stars. Let's see who has a better track record with films. Nimoy was doing a ton of stuff after Trek. How dare he say stuff about him? That being said, RIP Leonard.

And now you are annoying because u are pissed because he is annoying because he pissed over Shatner and Nimoy.

I find it interesting that people assume so much when reading something. You assume too much. I'm merely pointing out that Takei is a bitter individual. I will tell you what annoys me more...people who have nothing better to do than to make things up to be able to say their two cents worth. I call it trolling. Get a life, troll.

Takei can be very funny, but when it comes to Star Trek - and his lack of career after it... he always sounds a bit whiney to me too.

Well it's been said that there was always a bit of tension between Shatner and the rest of the cast because he's always been extremely prideful almost arrogant and he was hard to work with at times.I think it was Nemoy that said it but I can't remember.Shatner was angry that Abrams had not yet asked him to be in any of the new movies and made a bit of an uproar about it

All of the original cast have iconic voices. Takei has the smoothest voice of them all. He was a badass pilot but also had the most confident voice letting the audience know he would skillfully get 1701 in the best position to succeed no matter what. Icon of television and film in my opinion. And yes, I am a trekker.

"There are no small roles, just small actors." Or something to that effect. GT reminds me of Tina Louise complaining in interviews that Gilligan's Island wasn't all about her character.

He should be thanking Shatner because he's been riding on the coat tails of the franchise for most of his life. If not for Star Trek nobody would know who George Takei is.

It's his schtick...if you follow takei, he's everywhere. Talk people have him on their shows because he has this original way out there schtick. He isn't really bitching. He's got this crazy ass schtick, and most people get it, and most people adore him.

@@aliceshaw8265 I'd say the fame is equally tri-spread: star trek, homosexuality, and his own personal charismatic humorous character. He could have his own variety show, but his fanship is best served as a guest on shows.

i feel it was totally weird for him to stop where Takei was going with that, but also understandable. Conan isn't a show where people are gonna get seriously political and he wanted to divert away from it. Not the best idea or way of going about it, but it is what it is. Now, if that had been asked on the Daily Show or something else, then we definitely would've gotten into it

Folks, I don't get it. What was said here that was 'bitter'? Seems to me he was just making aging jokes as someone who has aged himself.
