George Takei continued his public feud with his Star Trek co-star William Shatner this week by describing him as a "prima donna" whom "none" of the sci-fi show's cast got along with.

"He's just a cantankerous old man and I'm going to leave him to his devices," Takei told the Guardian in an interview. "I'm not going to play his game."
