The Associated Press posted a new video interview with Star Trek actor George Takei in which he talks about his feud with star William Shatner. Here is a transcript.
"Bill is an energetic guy who likes to be in the spotlight," said Takei. "However, strangely, when any of us - the rest of us invite him to things we are doing; throwing a party or one of us are getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or anything that we want to celebrate - birthdays - we're there to celebrate, congratulate and enjoy each other - except Bill," he added.
"Bill's never shown up. It's very strange because he enjoys the limelight and yet he doesn't like the limelight to be shared with colleagues from Star Trek."
The actor says he thinks he's found "neutral" ground for them to settle their dispute - Howard Stern's profane Sirius Satellite Radio show, where George is a frequent guest.
"If Bill accepts, and I would applaud his balls if he accepts and joins me in that kind of discussion with Howard mediating as an interlocutor, I said, ‘I'd be happy to do that'."

Maybe George is still angling for that Captain Sulu series?

GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!.... You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! -- William Shatner on Saturday Night Live (1986)

Shatner was very busy during the 70's simply trying to survive. According to his autobiography, he was scrounging by acting in a traveling theater troupe, living in his own car, paying child support and barely surviving. He probably didn't have the time to get away for the Shuttle media-thingy.
His career was still going better than all of the rest of the cast, save for maybe Nimoy. If he had time to appear in horrible tarantula movies or game shows? He could show up to a birthday party, shuttle dedication or Walk-of-Fame star ceremony. Can't make excuses for the guy.. if the rest of the cast showed up to every event, what's his?
