He lived a long full life.
He will be missed.
R.I.P. Mr. Doohan.

It wasn't going to be long, with him having alzeimers and such, but it was a total shame, at least he got his hollywood star on the walk of fame, which was good  |

He and DeForest Kelley were my favorite actors from TOS. And now they're both gone.
Sad day indeed...

My favorite Star Trek memory of him is when he picks up a mouse and starts talking through it, best one... may have to rewatch Star Trek 4 again  |

Nice sentiment Taranis. Moovok, yes that mouse moment is classic. I recall, in the theater, when he then went to the keyboard how proficient he was at typing (I'd say about 150 words a minute). Big laugh out of the audience - I think Scotty had all the great comic moments.
BTW - showing that I'm not a dyed in the wool Trekkie, did you all know that James Doohan was missing a finger? He apparently lost it in WW II (his obit says he was in the D-Day landings).

Once you learn that little tidbit, you watch the episodes and movies in a different light. He was very skilled at hiding it. It was his middle finger that he lost.

I'll have to load my DS9 'Trials and Tribble-ations' episode and take a look - he's in a few scenes.

Don't worry his legacy lives on in the series of TOS and the other filmography he did.
May you RIP Mister Doohan!  |
