James “Scotty” Doohan. Dead @ 85
I’m not going to make any transporter related comments because Wil Wheaton already did and I figure he has dibs. To be honest, aside from a Next Generation rerun fixation, I’m not a huge Star Trek fan. For what it’s worth, condolences to his family and the convention circuit. I hadn’t heard anything about old “Scotty” in years – maybe he should’ve recorded a few albums or something.
On the inevitable tangent, the Ront was bothered by the fact that there are holes in my Star Trek movie collection (I’m currently missing 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ,8, 9, and 10); apparently it’s okay to stop, but not to have holes. That is an elitist completist, my friends. He shouldn’t talk, until not that long ago, his precious Van Halen CD collection had a big gaping hole right where 1984 usually fits.
Ah, but I closed the gap. Building a CD collection from scratch just takes time.
At least the one star trek movie you do have is the best one. I’d bug you more about if you only have one and it wasn’t #2.
