Shatner, Takei and Koenig Back Together Again!

I saw this photo on Instagram this morning, it made my day.
The photo is awesome. The moment is awesome. But the person reporting it isn't the great fan they make themselves out to be. The commenters are correct that he misidentified Al Worden as Buzz Aldrin, and he didn't identify five people, including, by the looks of it, Eddie Paskey, who is on Shatner's right. He and the four in the back row counting from the right side are unidentified.
It's OK, we all know your fandom is bigger than his.
I wonder if The Shat and Georgie boy have settled their feud or are at least talking again?

Would Al Worden be the guy with the grey/white hair in the white shirt? Because for a moment I thought he was Charles Napier , Adam from The Way To Eden, but we know that he is no longer with us don't we!

Ha, I thought that was AL Worden! Met him in the Midlands about 10 years ago. Stood and had a conversation with him for over an hour. Fascinating man.
Nichelle was in London last night so she might be heading up to join them.

Inconclusive. Being able to do a photo op like this is basically a form of acting performance. The show must go on, as they say.
Eddie Paskey always went uncredited. I doubt he'd mind.
I've always seen both sides of their argument to be honest but when The Shat always states he doesn't know the man I feel he does harbour some animosity to George even if it's in retaliation to some of the glib comments he's made about the star of the show!

I've always seen that "feud" as one-sided.
I was moved by the photo. I had to keep the fanboi in me from shedding a tear! 
Does George usually color-coordinate his outfit with his uniform?
(Yeah, I know the actual tunics weren't bright yellow, but it's close enough that it seems like a deliberate evocation.)

I love George Takei, but he's usually corny like this, isn't he?
On another note, I watched Shatner's NYCC teaser clip for the sequel to the Batman '66 animated movie, in which he'll voice Two-Face. His face is remarkably tight -- like, there's only so much that facial treatments and creams and even facelifts can do. The guy seems to age slower than his younger co-stars.
I hope the 4 remaining actors get a chance at something before its too late... an animated series or movie, like the new Batman '66 DVD release, or a CGI show, or (rules be damned) one last real fan film. Its such a shame nothing like that was attempted before it was too late.
He obviously did that on purpose. It was good for a laugh.
Shatner is in amazingly good shape for his age. I didn't notice anything peculiar about his face, other than the obvious use of makeup to cover his rosacea. I'd think that if he did anything, it would be an eye lift. But it doesn't look to me like he's had any work done. I could be wrong, but some people age better than others.
That picture is full of awesome.
