Yesterday, James Doohan, who played Scotty on Star Trek TOS (The Original Series, for non-geeks), went to the Final Frontier.
He had not been well, was suffering from Alzheimer’s. About a year ago, Trek geeks in Los Angeles set up a benefit ‘convention’ for him. To my knowledge, that was his last public appearance. He will be missed. Better to go though, than to linger in that kind of state.
Also, it will always stick in my mind that he died on Moon Landing Day.
Hailing frequencies closed, Mr. Scott.
