The beef is basically just Takei and Shatner at this point, and probably has
been for a while. The only other cast member still around is Walter Koenig,
who may not care for either of them these days, but hasn't said anything about
it since whatever axe-grinding he did in his memoir back in the 90s.
I do think as Shatner has aged he has exhibited more and more of a generic old
man's least admirable qualities, independent of whatever grudges have been
nursed over the years.

The cast had an exceedingly charmed life. Three years acting in a TV series
half a century ago and then a ready income source of memoirs and conventions.
Nobody gets that. It’s enough of a charmed life that anyone so privileged
should be able to feel gratitude toward the fans who keep it going and bury all
the grudges from all those years ago.
There were people I didn’t get along with fifty years ago. I can’t remember who
they were or what the problems were. The Star Trek cast shouldn’t keep these
bad feelings going.

The cast as a whole seemed to get along great. Even Nimoy seemed to have
friction with Shatner.

The discussion of the Shatner-hatred from his cast dates back to at least the
early 90s (when most of the cast had a book or two out to document this), so I
don't see this dying out before, well, Shatner does.

It would take quite a bit to persuade me that Shatner is actually that easy to
get along with...
Takei has been doing a bit of media in the UK to promote his musical which is
getting a London run in the New Year.

There has to be some lesson here: these people became famous 54 years ago and
found a way to monetize that fame for decades. Still, they can’t find a way to
put old grudges to bed and be at peace with each other.
