General "RIP" announcements that might be of interest

Jay, I like that. He's "beamed up" to a better place. That he sure has.

I just heard this morning that he requested that his ashes to be shot into space and they will be doing that later on this year. Sure would like to see how they do that, not to be morbid or anything.

Rest in peace Mr. Scott.

A fitting farewell.

Late last night I was cruising the cable channels and one was playing a Star Trek TNG episode which had him in it. After that, a different Star Trek series was on and played an eposide that had them going back in time to when the Enterprise was at Space Station K-9 and had many scenes from the episode: The Trouble With Tribbles" integrated into this episode. They showed the scene where Scotty started the barroom fight with the Klingons. I normally do not watch any Star Trek series except for the Orign=inal and a few TNG episodes. Anyway, these two episodes airing were a tribute to "Scotty" which I thought was nice.

I always enjoyed TNG compared to the rest. Patrick Stewart, as Picard, is I believe an even better captain then Shatner, not a huge Shatner fan.

May I also add, my tribute,
to someone who was very much part of our
earlier years.
He was of course of Irish descent, and the Scottish
used to laugh at some of his so called Scottish accent!
The amazing thing is, is that 'Beam me up, Scotty'
was never actually said in any episode.
James, was also responsibe, for helping to invent
the 'Klingon' language!

I agree, Viper. I never cared much for Shatner either but did like Stewart in the role of captain. I also liked Data and Worf.

I have to admit I liked TNG pretty much as well. I never watched but maybe a few seasons worth of eposides but I plan on buying them on DvD when I can afford to do so.

Yes you are right Stumpy. I believe the supporting cast was much better as well, except for Nimoy and Doohan from the original cast.

Hello All
I liked Scotty and think he gave a major contribution to star trek who's popularity speaks for itself. Until he passed away I didn't know Scotty was from the city I grew up in. I think it says in the good book that a man who does a job well is fit to sit with kings, in my opinion Scotty will be sitting in good company now. Kilo

Sad to say that Don Adams (Maxwell Smart) passed away today. :( Rest in Peace Don, you will be missed. :(

I remember seeing him on an awards show that was on TVLand not long ago and I did notice that he did not look well then.

[SXViper]

Yes, another TV legend passes away. That was one of the funniest shows that I always looked forward to after school whiole I was growing up. Yes, it was reruns but I liked it anyways.

Rest in Peace Don!!

A sad day indeed. I still, to this day, use his line "Missed it by that much!" whenever I'm way off something. Don, you will be missed. Mark

[The Ringo Kid]

Thanks guys. :-))

Also thanks for reminding me of his funny line which made me laugh when reading it. :)

[InHarmsWay]

I just remembered hearing a few months ago of his birthday and couldnt believe he was so old.

Rest In Peace, Agent 86.
