George Takei calls William Shatner an ‘unfit’ guinea pig after spaceflight
Page Six ^ | 10/14/21

Posted on 10/15/2021 10:58:54 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

George Takei’s decades-long feud with William Shatner is rocketing into space. The “Star Trek” actor threw enough shade at his former on-screen captain to cause an eclipse, as he dismissed Shatner’s flight this week on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin capsule and described him as “not the fittest specimen.” “He’s boldly going where other people have gone before,” snarked Takei, 84, when Page Six asked him what he thought of Captain Kirk’s brief trip Wednesday to the edge of space.

“He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens,” Takei added, as he spoke at the opening of “Thoughts of a Colored Man” on Wednesday night. “So 90 years old is going to show a great deal more on the wear and tear on the human body, so he’ll be a good specimen to study. Although he’s not the fittest specimen of 90 years old, so he’ll be a specimen that’s unfit!” During his trip, the Canadian-born Shatner experienced a few minutes of weightlessness aboard the spacecraft and delivered a lengthy, meandering monologue after he landed.

In turn, Shatner has blasted Takei, claiming that “there’s a psychosis there … There must be something else inside George that is festering, and it makes him unhappy that he takes it out on me … Why would he go out of his way to denigrate me? It’s sad, I feel nothing but pity for him.” Joining Takei at the play’s opening night were celebs including Joel Grey, Marilu Henner and Nicole Ari Parker. It makes Broadway history as the first play to be written by, directed by, lead produced by and starring black artists.

Guess I don’t need that exploratory surgery now.

“Doctor! Look! He’s made of stupid!”

“Sew him up and send him to Massachusetts.”

Maybe Takei had guinea pig on his mind from the exercise he had with his butt pirate buddy last night.

Who do you think most people would rather sit down to have a beer with and talk to? William Shatner or George Takei? Shatner Is a national treasure, Takei is a national joke.

Rodenberry told a story about women on Star Trek.
When he pitched the concept of a 50/50 crew mix, the network rejected it. He asked why, and some network exec replied, “Can’t you see, that would make it look like there was a lot of fooling around going on up there?”
Rodenberry said he, Settled on 70/30 because he figured 30% healthy women, “could handle the crew.”

Isn’t George Takei that Japanese fellow who enjoys men’s sexual organs in his mouth and buttocks? And thinks he’s married to another ‘man’?

And he calls Captain Kirk an unfit specimen?


Takei’s mad because he’s the one who has gone “where no man has gone before.”

Shatner hadn’t but got to “ride the rocket.”

Takei apparently can dish it out but can’t take it.

Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.

Don’t forget to tip your waitress.

” There must be something else inside George that is festering”

Considering what he like having done to himself, this is likely.

Orginal Trek is a space western right down to the music. All other Trek sucks.

Galaxy Quest was a ripoff -- practically a remake -- of Three Amigos!

I’ll tell you what’s festering, Shat.

I’m sure you likewise dare not speak it.

Takei has proven he has a problem…he’s a homo. There is your mental problem right there.

Before I commented, I used the search term: “Is William Shatner a Scientologist?” He is (I guess?) a Jew.

I wonder how often Sulu gets checked for rectal syphilis.

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 aDon’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 🐷
