And once he saw what had been written for Sulu in <em>Star Trek Beyond<\/em>, Takei was less than impressed. &#8220;After all of that conversation and all that hu-ha,&#8221; said Takei, &#8220;all that &#8216;sound and fury&#8217; as Shakespeare said, signifying nothing. I mean he was supposed to have been gone for years and he comes back and he sees a man with the little girl and he goes immediately for the little girl&#8230;but he didn&#8217;t even kiss the guy. The next shot you see them walking off and he&#8217;s got his hand around him, you&#8217;d do that with a buddy too&#8230;but after all that conversation and all that sound and fury, you know at least a kiss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Takei was asked if he had ever &#8220;hooked up&#8221; with any of the<em> Star Trek<\/em> extras back in the day. &#8220;No comment,&#8221; he said, to the delight of the audience, who broke out into laughter.<\/p>\n<p>And why did Sulu wear red in the <em>Mirror, Mirror<\/em> episode? &#8220;He&#8217;s a very physical aggressive kind of guy who would be in Security,&#8221; said Takei.<\/p>\n<p>Takei also had an opinion on what made Kirk Kirk. &#8220;I think, maybe it&#8217;s because I know too much about him [<strong>William Shatner<\/strong>] but I see nervousness about him, a little insecurity,&#8221; said Takei. &#8220;He uses it and he&#8217;s made that, you know, the thing about Kirk that is so compelling he&#8217;s always hungry, he&#8217;s always striking, he&#8217;s always a little nervous you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More episodes of the<em> Tomorrow Show<\/em> can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/thetomorrowshow.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yFsZjiAPyeM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, George Takei was a guest on the Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro where he&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44923,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[2415,9091],"class_list":["post-44922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-takei","tag-the-tomorrow-show"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TakeiTomorrowShow112916.jpg",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44922"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44924,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44922\/revisions\/44924"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
