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

@jon-nyc LOL.

And a pretty good photoshop of the Shat at the warehouse.

@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.

He was a Canadian Shakespearean actor. That's what you saw in Star Trek.

His best work was later in Boston Legal and Miss Congeniality.

Curiously enough, I was looking on IMDB and found that the Denny Crane and Alan Shore characters from BL actually originated on The Practice. I'll have to see if I can find those episodes.
