Without the fun of the “Amok Time” theme music, Trek icon, William Shatner said in his new autobiography that he blames a bitter feud with fellow Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy for marring his time on the series. The actor, who shot to fame as Captain Kirk in the original 1960s TV show, states tensions built up between himself and Nimoy after the dueling pair indulged in a bout of verbal spats on set.
In his book, Up Till Now, Shatner explains how Nimoy thought he was “a real son of a b*tch”. And he adds that the actor took his on-set comments the wrong way: “(Nimoy) thought I betrayed him for the amusement of others.”

See…the healing power of the con.
