I am so envious of Shaatner.

That guy is absolutely incredible for 90 years old.

So which power did Shat get? Elasticity? Fire? Strength and rocky skin?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

@mik there's a video out there in which the Shat talking about the feud between Takei and himself.

Link to video

Now, having linked that, it's not just Takei who had problems with the Shat. Doohan and Nichols both were critical because he hogged the camera, and they felt their roles were too small.

Takei responds - go to 1:15

I know there is animosity and I can certainly see Shatner as being a camera hog. It's a competitive business. But jeez - it was almost 60 years ago. Give it a rest.

One wonders if it is just a publicity thing for Takei, who is pretty savvy in social media. Nothing like a feud to keep eyes on.
