William Shatner’s ride on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket this week seems to have bothered his former “Star Trek” colleague George Takei to the point of an ad hominem attack:

Shatner, however, seems to be taking things in stride:
Don’t hate George. The only time he gets press is when he talks bad about me. He claims 50+ years ago I took away a camera angle that denied him 30 more seconds of prime time TV. 🤷🏼♂️ I’m giving it back to him now by letting him spew his hatred for the world to see!🤣 Bill the 🐷

Classy response. I'll try to stop being annoyed by such jealousy. At least we know more about Takei's character which is unfortunate. https://t.co/fkPXhRtkRf
