Sad to hear it
by montgomery gator · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to James Doohan R.I.P.
I read the article and did not know he was a war hero at D-Day. He was one of my favorite Star Trek actors. Too bad DeForest Kelly is no longer with us to tell William Shatner “He’s Dead Jim!!” upon hearing of the passing of James Doohan.

it had been on that website you quoted 25 minutes. Some of us have to work, you know.
Shame on you for using Scotty’s death to chide us…I hope all your applesauce goes sour and your shoes wear twice as fast! :p

Mr Scott, the inspiration
by the admiral · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to James Doohan R.I.P.
It was James Doohan’s character, Mr Scott that got me involved with engineering. Now I can only hope to continue to create innovative things with his memory in mind.

“Captain there be whales here!”

Scott: I find it hard to believe I’ve come MILLIONS of MILES —
Bones: Thousands, Scott, thousands!
Scott: — THOUSANDS of MILES! – The Whale Movie“It’s green.”

Pretty sure?
by jamesrl · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to pretty sure
I would be extremely suprised if he did, as although he wasn’t a native born scot, he certainly would have been exposed to the correct scots pronounciation in Vancouver.
I use the word all the time, i.e. ma wee bairn. No i sound in the second syllable syllable.

Sad day, truly
by Jay Garmon · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to James Doohan R.I.P.
Jimmy Doohan was a good man, but from my understanding he was struggling hard with Alzheimers in recent years. Glad to know he’s finally at peace. I too was surprised to learn of his role in D-Day. Sounds like I need to rustle up a Scotty-centric Trivia question for all my fellow Trekkers out there.

something else for you to laugh at about me…
by jck · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to You know….
The day Gene Roddenberry died, I literally left school, went out to a park…and cried like a baby for about an hour.
The world is forever changed because of that man’s vision. And, all of those actors played a part in making the imagination of people become the innovation of tomorrow.
Thanks Scotty…God Bless

In reply to James Doohan R.I.P.
I’m sorry for his passing and my sympathies for his loved ones/friends. As a human being I’m sorry for his passing.
However strictly for his role on Star Trek — well I was never really a fan of the series to begin with.

In reply to TomSal
Do you think they will say beam me up during the eulogy? Do think Shatner will show? Does the federation flag fly at half mast? Will they have his body at a convention for viewing? Do you think the paul bearers will wear red?
Just kidding. As cheezy as his lines were, he made it fun. I’m sure there is going to be marathons of Star Trek this weekend. I do remember watching Trekkies and he talked about turning someone around who was depressed that it made everything worth while. From what I can tell he seemed like a class act.

Doohan’s ashes
by montgomery gator · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to rip
I read that James Doohan’s ashes will be launched into space. It would be appropriate if at that occasion, there was a bagpiper playing “Amazing Grace”, like Scotty did in “Wrath of Khan” for Spock’s funeral, when Spock’s body was launched from a photon torpedo tube.

Tremendously regular guy!
by old phat mc (ea, cne, ms, nremt-i/99, etc) · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to James Doohan R.I.P.
I met Jim Doohan at a San Diego Star Trek/ComicsCon in a relatively small session. He was classy, he was involved, he was delighted to be there (unlike certain spokes-toupees for Priceline.com)! He knew that Star Trek had imprinted his life and he really was living it up. I’m sure that up to the end, he enjoyed his life as much as he could.
If we all could be so blessed.

Yes
by jbaker · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Tremendously regular guy!
He was always classy and wonderful to the fans. The only other that is almost as good as him is George Takei (Sulu). Shatner is/was an ass most of the time, and I have never had the cahnce to see Nimoy. Then there are some of the newer actors…’Q’ (John de Lancie) is a prick.

His books
by bhunsinger · about 18 years, 8 months ago
In reply to Tremendously regular guy!
He has three Sci fi books at Bean with S. M. Stirling. First one is called The Rising. A decent read. In the intro, it talks about Rodenberry writing Scotty based on Doolan. I always thought his appearance on ST enterprise was the coolest.
