   Not that I know of.  There were a lot of standard issue rumors in the    
   press of conflict between Nimoy and The Shat during the show, same as    
   there are when any second billed actor 'breaks out' in a show; another    
   example would be The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  But either they were never    
   true or they got over it, since Nimoy and The Shat are BFFs.

   Stargate Universe SGU:  It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!   
   It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,   
   fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.   
   Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!
