It doesn't appear we'll have a cordial reunion of the original cast of Star Trek any time soon.
While promoting his new book Boldly Go, Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder, William Shatner opened up and responded to some…less than stellar comments his former cast mates made about him.
In one of the book's passage, Shatner reveals that his former co-stars found him "cold and arrogant" on the set, to which the 90-year-old responded that them bringing his name into conversations now is like a "sickness."
Shatner noted that George Take had been particularly judgmental of his "movements and life" since the end of Star Trek, telling The Times UK, "I began to understand that they were doing it for publicity. Sixty years after some incident they are still on that track. Don't you think that's a little weird? It's like a sickness.
"George has never stopped blackening my name. These people are bitter and embittered. I have run out of patience with them. Why give credence to people consumed by envy and hate?"
Shatner, however, did note that when the late Nichelle Nichols, whom portrayed Uhara on the show, told him about what the cast though of him, he was "horrified to learn this, ashamed that I hadn't realized it."
