George Takei William Shatner YouTube Rant Video (Shatner On Takei Wedding Snub)
What do you think of the George Takei/William Shatner feud? Is William Shatner taking the wedding snub and Takei’s other public disses too personally?
Can anyone explain what in the devil William Shatner is rambling on about?
All I can decipher is that the original “Captain Kirk” and “Sulu” still hate each other–and that could have been summed up in less than two minutes. Instead, the veteran actor has taken to YouTube to air his thoughts on former Star Trek castmate George Takei in a lengthy recorded rant that includes many references to the word “festering.”
“What is it with George Takei and his issues with me?” William asks, before launching a nearly five minute spiel about not being invited to George’s wedding in California last Summer.
“Why go out of his way to denigrate me? It’s sad the man can’t find enough peace in his life to be positive and say, I forgive him for whatever those hurts were.”

There is no malice in Shatner’s words, he’s simply assessing decades of spontaneous venom from Takei.

Shatner has never voiced any expectation of a wedding invite, and his gracious response to media inquiry was reported by the New York Post of 4 June 2008: “No, we have not been in touch [with George Takei and his soon-to-be husband] but I wish the happy couple all the best. George deserves a moment of happiness.”

With the Takei “psychosis” video, Shatner has hit a raw nerve of widespread media buzz.
Note: A&E’s new talk show, “Shatner’s Raw Nerve”, premieres on the Biography Channel in December (or sooner?), so there’s precious little time to promote Shat’s capability as a badass on the edge!
