Unhappy He's dead Jim...

James Doohan, Scotty from Star Trek, passed on this moring at 5:30 this morning.


He was actualy one of the better actors on the original Star Trek series and was therefore an important part of my childhood.

RIP James.

I couldn't decide if this was entertainment or suckage... so I split the difference and threw it into OT.

It is sad to see "Scotty" pass! I was a huge fan of the original Star Trek.

James Doohan's Scotty was my favorite character in the original Star Trek series (of course, who else would an engineer really like?)

Here's a few good pictures of him through the years:

Scotty in command on the Bridge:


Scotty fixing something in the pilot episode:


Scotty in Engineering in Star Trek: The Motion Picture:


Scotty in one of the uniforms from the following Star Trek Movies:


And lastly, Scotty with his 'special friend':



Rest in Peace, James Doohan.

He got his name on the walk of fame right? I think his son or something fought for it because he was the only one after many years that didn't get one.
