Scotty Beamed Up
Quote:
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and motion pictures who responded to the apocryphal command "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday. He was 85.

Kirk: "You asked for one week I gave you two. What happened?"
Scotty: "I think you gave me too much time, Captain."
Okay, bad example, but we'll miss you anyway James.

To keep this thread alive because you didn't follow the Posting Guidelines, I'll say that I'm sad to see him go. He was the best dry comic relief the Star Trek movies had. Other characters/actors tried, but he actually pulled it off.

Just trying to help you out, pal.
And his ability to repair anything at the speed of the light, was also a good recurrent joke.

There have only been 2 main actors that have passed away on the original series so far... Sad to see him go, iirc he was in his 50's back then when the show was on the air. Even though the show was and still is panned by anyone and everyone, it is still one of my top 3 favorite TV shows. All of the later spin-offs were just blah.
Scotty at his best; having to explain to Captain Kirk that he got in a fight with the Klingons not after they insulted Kirk but after they insulted the Enterprise.
Scotty at his worst; in the 5th movie when he prattled on about knowing the ship like the back of his hand then walks around a corner and hits a low beam with his head and is knocked out... man that was so forced it was painful to watch.
RIP JD

Why, what's going to happen to him?
That's her on his shoulder with his wife in the red dress.
You can see his missing finger above.

Well there is Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu. However of the ones that were in the limelight during the series ( and had an episode devoted to them ) only Kirk, McCoy, Spock, and Scotty have that distinction. I'll miss any of them when they go.
RIP
Here's to ya, lad... glasses will be raised across the sector
"What is it?"
"It's ... ... green"
