How can you say something like that it's just not something your suppost to do. You are suppost to respect the dead!

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 6:56 pm

Can we not argue?

Sometimes that's how folks cope with loss. Now some folks will not feel teh loss as keenly, and they should mind their manners.

But lets not start gutting the person for making a boo-boo.

Lets keep it on topic shall we? Its also disrecptful to start an arguement over someone's death, just as disrespectfull as making jokes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was wondering if they were going to do something outer-space invovled for him. I have to wonder if its legal to shoot one's ashes into space. *ponders* If so I'm sure his estate has enough to do it, and I hope it works out.

I think it would be greatly fitting.

I find it amusing that he's Canadian and yet played a Scottish character. ^.^ Kind reinforces the fact that he was, indeed, a great actor.

Anubis · Post by **Anubis** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 7:37 pm

no offence the fact that he pauses between every few words is bad acting.

Hey, i'm just sayen

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 8:08 pm

*blinks* Are yuo sure yuo got your actors straight?

The Actor who played Cap't Kirk was the one who paused, and still does.

James Doohan never did in any one episode I remember seeing.

Roddenberry's ashes were spread in space, IIRC.

Yep. And according to Wikipedia, he also has an astroid named after him.

yes, James Doohan was one of my favorite Star Trek characters. He will be missed.

I had known about his Alzheimer's disease, so I knew this was coming. Still, it is sad, and on this day, I shall mourn.

I am pleased to learn of his involvement in the D-Day landing; countless lives were lost in this important invasion, which ultimately lead the way for the fall of the horrific Nazi regime.

So, Scotty has done more than just saved the day on many occasion in a future of our dreams. He worked in the real world, even risking his life, to make that future possible.

So many memorable moments...

"I cannot change the laws of physics!"

"The engines are overloaded!"

"Did you get the phaser rifle I sent down?"

Alien in human form, asking about a liquor: "What is it?"
Scotty: "It's green."

Scotty and McCoy, sneaking into a plexiglas manufacturer, to get parts for a whale tank...
Scotty: "I've travelled millions of miles..."
McCoy: "Thousands!"
Scotty: "...Thousands of miles!"

Kirk: "Mister Scott, do you always multiply your repair estimates by a factor of four?"
Scotty: "Certainly, Sir. How else do you expect me to keep my reputation as a miracle worker?"

When an alien being pitted Klingons and the Enterprise crew against each other with swords: "A Claymore!"

20th century engineer: "...transparent aluminum?"
Scotty: "Would it be worth somethin' to ya, or shall I just punch clear?"
