Apparently Shatner wasn’t invited to George Takei’s wedding (shock!) and isn’t happy about it, so here comes the Shatnerian mudslinging:

LOS ANGELES – William Shatner is setting his phaser to stun against his old “Star Trek” co-star George Takei. In a video posted on Shatner’s Web site Wednesday, he lashed out at Takei for not inviting him to his wedding last month.

The 77-year-old Kirk said Takei, who played Enterprise helmsman Sulu, apparently harbors a grudge against him that kept him from being invited to Takei’s nuptials.

“The whole thing makes me feel badly,” Shatner said in the video. “Poor man. There is such a sickness there. It’s so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don’t know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea.”

Could be all the stories of you treating Takei like shit, Bill. Just a guess. One of my favourites recounts how Shatner used to harrangue the director to cut all sorts of Sulu’s lines from the script.

Takei previously claimed that Shatner was invited but didn’t show up:

Takei and Brad Alman tied the knot Sept. 15. “Star Trek” alums Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig — who played Uhura and Chekhov, respectively — were among the attendees at the multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. Takei and Altman had previously stated that Shatner was invited to their wedding, but he never RSVPed.

“It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend,” Takei responded.

So who’s telling the truth here? There’s only one way to settle this!
