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.

Yes of course, in balance.
Ouch
Why should I care about; William Shatner in space, what his old TV star thinks, or who was stupid enough to ask……
No climate change relief for you!

Taken has made many idiotic comments over the years, many obviously the product of a diseased mind. It shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s just sad and pathetic.
Star Trek is lame but old Bill is always good for a few laughs. Him critiquing other actors impersonating him as Capt Kirk is so funny! And the vid of him on the spacecraft - it’s funny as heck. A former roommate was into his singing career - that got really old after awhile. (The same guy also liked Telly Savalas’s singing. You know, junk culture can be amusing from time to time, but after all this I think I can safely say that connoisseurs of junk culture should be avoided like the very plague itself.)
Okay, George, but Shatner has no desire to bugger little boys.
😂😂😨. Heard a snippet of his “rendition” of Rocketman the other day. Yokoesque? Better pitch maybe.
They should keep their personal feud private, I’d rather not hear about any of it.
He been a jealous little snit for decades. He’s a very unhappy person.
If I’m not mistaken, ‘Takei’ means ‘sodomite’ in the ancient tongue of the Assyrians...
Well, Kirk does not have the benefit of AIDS to keep him lean like Sulu.
I hear Sulu caught it accidentally after he ate a bad weenie at a pic-a-nic.
He’s a fag, Jim.
Takai has gone where quite a few men (probably most men) have never gone before.
Takei like most actors, is just a nobody who got lucky with hit show.
Thousands of actors with better talent didn’t get lucky and instead became insurance salesmen , warehouse workers , and truck drivers.
Takei could easily be a retired union warehouse worker telling all who would listen about the time in the 60’s he almost made it to a casting call for the then unknown Star Trek.
Shatter is cool.
Takai takes it up the butt.
Takai likely mad because Shatner wouldn’t give it up.
Shatner don’t care...
He still has a career. At 90.
Sulu, not so much.
I have seen rumors that the cast hated Shatner during Star Trek. No idea if true but this guy certainly hates him
Hey Sulu, find a nice thick corn cob and you know what to do with it
