George Takei calls William Shatner an ‘unfit’ guinea pig after spaceflight

George Takei’s decades-long feud with William Shatner is rocketing into space. The “Star Trek” actor threw enough shade at his former on-screen captain to cause an eclipse, as he dismissed Shatner’s flight this week on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin capsule and described him as “not the fittest specimen.” “He’s boldly going where other people have gone before,” snarked Takei, 84, when Page Six asked him what he thought of Captain Kirk’s brief trip Wednesday to the edge of space.

“He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens,” Takei added, as he spoke at the opening of “Thoughts of a Colored Man” on Wednesday night. “So 90 years old is going to show a great deal more on the wear and tear on the human body, so he’ll be a good specimen to study. Although he’s not the fittest specimen of 90 years old, so he’ll be a specimen that’s unfit!” During his trip, the Canadian-born Shatner experienced a few minutes of weightlessness aboard the spacecraft and delivered a lengthy, meandering monologue after he landed.

In turn, Shatner has blasted Takei, claiming that “there’s a psychosis there … There must be something else inside George that is festering, and it makes him unhappy that he takes it out on me … Why would he go out of his way to denigrate me? It’s sad, I feel nothing but pity for him.” Joining Takei at the play’s opening night were celebs including Joel Grey, Marilu Henner and Nicole Ari Parker. It makes Broadway history as the first play to be written by, directed by, lead produced by and starring black artists.

Takei is an annoying PITA (in more ways than one) Why doesn't this たばこ set his phaser on stun and sit on it? Shatner can be kinda weird also, in other ways, like his silly cover of Lucy in the Sky Even more bizarre and "trippier" than the Beatles

[1Old Pro]

Yep, have zero interest in either of them. Didn’t like Star Track (sic) either

If you’re going to say faggot in Japanese, it’s オカマ okama

Leftists and Homosexuals are the Angriest, Unhappiest, and most bitter people on planet earth.

[bagster]

Isn't George Takei that Japanese fellow who enjoys men's sexual organs in his mouth and buttocks? And thinks he's married to another 'man'?

And he calls Captain Kirk an unfit specimen?

Really, Sulu?

I find that difficult to believe......................

[Olog-hai]

Wonder if Takei was turned on by the shape of Bezos’ roketto . . .

[4yearlurker]

I think the joke was he set his phaser on “stunning.”

Yet here you are.

Yep, need to offer balance.

Lock up the fat libtard toad and the faggot in a closet and see who wins. 🤪

[Newbomb Turk]

Star Trek was cool when I was 9.

I’m long since over it now…

“Yep, have zero interest in either of them.”

If you had zero interest you wouldn’t be on this thread!

[TexasGator]

“Yep, need to offer balance.”

So you do have an interest!

[Olog-hai]

Also おかま in hiragana, or even 御釜 in kanji, although those are meant to signify the original meaning of a pot or the figurative meaning of a man’s posterior.

Another word that comes to mind when I see Takei spouting off nonsense is baka (馬鹿), which means “fool”.

Hardly a blast, a very good response.
