That is super cool. Beam me up Scotty.

Kudos to Vilya for this topic. I was so upset when I heard. I remember when I was little laying in the floor of the living room watching Star Trek reruns. I grew up with this show and and all it's characters. It's many ideals shaped who I became and I have only total respect for anyone who was involved with it.

That is very cool. He deserves it.

It is so sad to see such a person die. :'(

My thoughts are with his family. But he will never be forgotten, not with "THAT" line still doing the rounds :king:

We're at Warp Factor 10 Captain!!!! She won't hold at this speed!!!

He will be missed.

"She won't hold at this speed!!!"

Okay, it is funny for me when I say it out loud!!!* * :blushing:

I can hear him say it in his Scottish accent. Didn't know how to write it though!!! And its funny to me reading it.

I found a site with Scotty quotes from Star Trek movies, so we can all practice our Scottish accents.* *Hopefully this will help his memory stick with us longer.* Personally I liked what he had to say on the old shows better, and will see if I can find quotes from them.* * * ENJOY* *

Not to many people know it but James Doohan served in the Canadian military.
He was among the troops storming* Juno beach on D-Day. He was shot 6 times.

Rest in Peace.

I am a proud Canadian, and even more so now that I know Scotty is one of us. Wow 6 times, he's lucky he survived, maybe that's where his larger than life personality comes from. He learned early to enjoy life to it's fullest. Thanks for the info.

It's so sad he's gone, I'm not a big trekkie but I liked the movies. My favourite part was in the 4th movie when he's trying to talk to the computer "Hello computer....computer?" RIP Scotty.

My favorite line is from Trouble With Tribbles. "I beamed them over to the Klingons where they'll be no tribble at all"

I met Jimmy years ago at ST con in Philly. A friend of mine knew him so we were able to go up to his room and sit around and talk for a little.
So sad DeForest Kelley's gone and now Jimmy too!

Thanks for starting the thread - I knew there had to be one here and just wanted to join in the Jimmy tributes!

Thanks blackbutterly....you are too kind :flower:
