Kirk vs. Sulu. Who ya Got?
Sci-Fi Odds and Ends, Star Trek Universe — By Nix on October 23, 2008
Captain Kirk isn’t happy that Sulu didn’t invite him to his gay wedding, but according to Sulu, he did invite the good Captain, who just didn’t take the time to RSVP the invitation. Who is right, who is wrong, and why do we care? Well for one, it’s interesting if you’re a Trek fan, but not all that relevant to just about every other facet of life. Except for the fact that Sulu aka George Takei is marrying a guy, and Captain Kirk aka William Shatner is pretty miffed that he didn’t get invited, even though ex-Trek castmates of theirs, Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig, were.

“The whole thing makes me feel badly,” Shatner said in the video. “Poor man. There is such a sickness there. It’s so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don’t know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea.”
Takei and Brad Altman tied the knot Sept. 14. “Star Trek” alums Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig — who played Uhura and Chekhov, respectively — were among the attendees at the multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. Takei and Altman had previously stated that Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk, was invited to their wedding, but he never RSVPed.
“It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend,” Takei responded. “It is our hope that at this point he joins us in voting no on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in California.”
I love how George slips in the “Prop 8″ line in there. Way to go, George. Check out Shatner’s video of the topic below.

If as he claims ‘he doesn’t know him well’ even calling himself ‘a total stranger’ why would he think it’s weird that George didn’t invite him to his wedding?
I’m totally on George’s side. This is all publicity for Bill. For him to keep going on about George having a sickness is just low. George didn’t bring this up, he was married ages ago. Sounds like Bill was an ass back in the day and George just doesn’t bother with him. Bill sounds like he’s the one bothered by the whole thing, he’s the one complaining and calling George sick. I pity Bill for having to use this issue for publicity. He was great as the ‘big giant head’ but other than that he’s never been as good as his ego would dictate.
Shatner also didn’t get asked to be in the new Trek movie. Perhaps its time to get a day-timer? Hmm? Memory fading a bit, Bill?
Hey Bill- You are a FAKE through and through-stick to well written scripts. Your daughter above can not cover up your lying or poor acting. Your large arrogance is only bypassed by your large waist line.
