I was looking at Shatner's book Memories today, and it makes me sad. His interactions with other members of the cast caused a lot of damage, and I genuinely believe it was largely unintentional. The other actors were so professional, you'd actually believe Doohan and Takei loved Shatner as much as Scotty and Sulu loved Kirk. But sadly such is not so. It's interesting that I hadn't realized till my later years how annoying it can be that Kirk really does hog the spotlight in the episodes and movies. Perhaps in the 60s that was what audiences wanted: a captain who could do just about everything from quoting Milton to beating off 4 armed soldiers with his bare hands and shirtless rolls, while still having the wits to defeat enemy ships. But this clearly caused a lot of hurt feelings. It's one thing I really enjoy better about TNG, as the various cast members all get their time in the limelight, all get to be heroes, all get to specialize in one thing or another at such a level that their expertise is indispensable. But still, it really makes me so sad to see what efforts Shatner has made to patch things up, and to see that he still has been unable to do so, particularly with George Takei.
