Captain Kirk and Mr Sulu Still Feuding
The feud between Captain Kirk and Mr Sulu continues apace. William Shatner (who is absolutely magnificent in Boston Legal don’t you think?) seemingly fell out with George ‘Sulu’ Takei because George didn’t invite him to his gay wedding in 2008.
George insists he sent Shatner an invitation but received no response – which suggests, assuming he is telling the truth and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise – that either Shatner just forgot or didn’t notice the invitation or it was delivered to the wrong address. These things happen. It’s the vagaries of the Post Office.
Somewhat oddly though, William Shatner insists he hasn’t seen nor spoken to George in 50 years. 50 years? Hang on a bit. I know my mathematics are invariably a bit suspect but let’s work this out.
Star Trek : The Movie was when? 1980? Somewhere about then anyway. Right. Fingers and toes at the ready. 34 years ago. Not 50 Bill old bean. besides there were ‘follow ups’ weren’t there? I’m sure the last Star Trek with Kirk and Sulu was around 1990 or 1991? That would make it 24 years Bill.
Mind you, if Bill and George had not had any contact since 1991 it does suggest they weren’t exactly bossom buddies so why would George invite him to his wedding anyway in 2008?
George, as far as I know, isn’t bothering to say any more on the matter – I must check his FB page to make sure – but Captain Kirk himself was recently more effusive on the topic.
“I don’t know who he is. He’s disturbed – by me I guess. I don’t know him. I don’t speak to him”
I wonder whether this sort of behaviour has been caused by all that scrambling of their atoms when they did all that ‘beaming’ around the place. There never seemed to be much Health and Safety you know when they had their atoms scrambled and reassembled somewhere else.
Bones always said it wasn’t a safe way to travel.
Still, now Scotty and Bones have gone and Spock is too busy with the new Star Trek movies who knows how this will all end? Will Sulu join the Klingon’s and go after Kirk? Will Kirk go into hiding, re-emerge in a police uniform as an even fatter T.J. Hooker?
Perhaps Uhuruururu – I never could pronounce that name – might step in and shove a microphone on both their ears, turn up the frequency and ‘screech’ them into being sensible.
What about Chekov? What ever happened to Chekov? Who was Chekov anyway? I can’t remember his real name. Hang on while I Google – That’s him! Walter Koenig (I’d forgotten he was called Pavel Chekov). He saved Kirks life in one of the new Star Trek movies – or was that Spock? – oh it’s useless.
Space isn’t only the final frontier, it’s clearly what Shatner and Takei need to keep between each other – preferably several miles of it at least by the sound of this little spat.
It’s life people – but not as we will ever know it eh?
I thought I’d include this one purely because I like Scott Bakula. Quantum Leap was the business! 😉
There’s a great, yeah tasteless, gay joke here but last time I went there MadMike lost a contributor.
Go for it Joe! 😉
Pssst, he didn’t have a gay wedding, he just had a wedding just like you and I never had a straight wedding, we just had a wedding. Jus sayin is all.
He called it a gay wedding not me! so ner ner ne ner ner 😉
I did not know those two had a thing for each other, but so it goes. By the way, I do not think that space is the final frontier. I think we know more about space than we do about the depths of our oceans.
The truth is down there!
