Most of the cast of Star Trek hated Shatner bwecause he got so full of himself when the show was in production that he turned into a complete and total asshat.
He shouldn’t be surprised.
I needed a break from politics.....................okay, break over
WHHAAAA!!!! WHHAAAA!! beam me up, scotty WHHAAAA!!!
LOL! Fagels?
Exactly
The role called for the other captain to be killed off early & Shatner for some reason didn't want the Zulu character killed off.
George never forgave him.

Ten quatloos says that Shatner misplaced the invite.
George Takei is holding a grudge. Shatner was an egotistical jerk when they made the series, but has since found humor in himself.
It would be nice if they buried the hatchet once and for all.
Evidently Shatner’s ambition as an actor got Takei mad and he also claimed William never said his last name right.
But what Shatner said that made sense was that he hardly knew the guy because he would only come on the set maybe once a week, do his limited part and leave.
Though anyone could invite or not invite someone to their wedding, he never got why Takei always interviewed in ways expressing that he hated Shatner.
Shatner said he felt this was ridiculous, that they were both too old for this stuff and that the hatred was NOT on his side and that it must be a mental issue with Takei.
The actor who played Scotty also never liked William because several times before the show started Shatner felt the character of Scotty may not have been needed.
Eventually he backed up that actor who got the job, then later Takei and others felt Shatner stole lines and camera time.
Maybe going back to the Shatner ambition.
In the end, the others achieved 20% of what Wiliam Shatner did as an actor, writer and all the other stuff.
He misplaced it under his Scotch bottle...

Frankly, the also-rans in the cast should be happy they were carried thru the series by Shatner & Nimoy & Kelly.
Notice none of the others have ever achieved anything as actors.
No doubt Shatner, like most Hollyweird denizens, is a narcissistic ham. But Takei’s complaints sound very much like the whine of some pansy who didn’t get the attention and appreciation he thought he deserved. They are both a couple of insignificant egotists.
LOL
I heard that Captain Kirk put a letter of reprimand in Sulu's personnel file after Dr. McCoy had to surgically remove a shaved tribble.
