I know, it bummed me out.
I admit it, I was a Star Trek geek as a kid.

He will be missed 85 wow

 

[Fluff]

Wow, I didn't know.

KirK: Beam me up Scotty!
Scotty: Cap'n, we haven't enough power to beam up a fly.

You actually felt his pain when he said that...which is the sign of a great actor. He will be missed.

WOW!!
That is so sad. I used to watch that show ALL the time.

I was sad to see the news too. I grew up on Star Trek and I am watching it right now.

He wants his ashes sent into space, fitting! I think most people liked that show. It is funny to watch it now, pretty hokey, but still a classic!

I've been a Star Trek fan since the show first went on the air back in 1966. I was a sophomore in high school, and I fell madly and forever in love with Captain Kirk. (Still think he's handsome today, even older and overweight!)

So sad about Scotty...he had the best lines in so many of the shows. But he was middle-aged back then in the 60s, so I wasn't truly surprised to find out he'd died at 85 almost forty years later. Time does fly, indeed.

I have the entire original tv series on tape. Maybe it's time to go watch some of it again!

God bless, Jimmy Doohan! Thank you!
