I knew a guy who was a set builder for the original star trek, and he used to tell stories that would change your entire view of the show.
According to him:
Shatner was obsessed with being seen as a "hunk." If any other men were getting attention he would pitch a bitch. He heard they had bows and arrows on a nearby western set, so he sent someone over to get a set so he could show off. He shot a bit, but then one of the others (maybe chekov) took a turn and was good at it, Shatner shut it down and showed his ass.
He was constantly trying to lech on the women on the set, and the ones who wanted more camera time would flirt with him. But when he wasn't there they all talked about him being creepy.
I did understand that when they made the "next gen", one stipulation was that it would be done the way Roddenberry had planned for the first, as a series of stories with different characters being focused on each week. It was never supposed to be one big hero and his supporting cast. But Shatner kept demanding more screen time and rewrites to make himself the stud. They changed it on TNG to how it was supposed to have been.
*****All of this is what I was told. The guy seemed to know his shit, and even had a ton of photos he had taken while working there, including some of the archery event he described.Let’s Go Brandon!!!!!
