Everything I've heard about Scotty and Bones has been uniformly and unbelievably positive. I've heard nothing negative about Nimoy, and I've heard nothing good about Shatner, in terms of their personal lives...

I guess what you say about Shatner is probably true - stories about him come from too many different sources not to have some fact to them - but I don't want to hear them...
Captain Kirk was a hero to this youngster while he was growing up, and I guess I just want to go on viewing him, as well as all the other characters of Star Trek, and the actors who portrayed them in an idyllic way....
God knows we live in an age that loves to tear down heroes...Why are so many nowadays afraid to hold someone or something above themselves?...
Sorry...end of ramble...
