News on the Death of James Doohan - July, 2005

[darkguardian1314]

He did so much more for Star Trek than play Scotty. He created the Klingon language and was a WWII pilot. He was active in the animated series and has inspired many of today's engineers and scientists to develop what we have today from cell phones, computers, tablets to actually working on alternate spacecraft engines and exotic materials. R.I.P. Jame Doohan.

I will always miss the guy

My goodness, he has an 11 year old daughter. How cool is that.

I attended a lecture he gave at WMU back in the early eighties. I even got his autograph on a flyer.  I remember some jerk next to me yelled "Bridge to engineering! Come in, Scotty!". True to form, James replied from backstage, "Scotty to bridge! I'm right here!"

I asked him what were his favorite Star Trek scenes starring himself. He said he like all the times he sat in the captain's chair, some scenes from "The Trouble with Tribbles", and the drunk scene from "By Any Other Name".

"I'M DOIN' THE BEST I CAN!" One myth that must be addressed is the following: They NEVER said, "BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!" on the show! "Scotty, beam me up!" was said in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home."

He had a kid at the age of 80?

Good going Scotty.

Great upload.

[HQO106]

ah no i liked him i cant believe it

[JediMasterHorton]

Sad i miss this man

[Illuminati10101]

Actually the phrase "Beam me up Scotty" was never said in any movie or TV show.

The closest that was said was in Star Trek IV.Kirk said "Scotty,..Beam me up."

[AirsoftSteveCope]

@SuperDookieness6000 He actually is boldly going where no man has gone before

[SPeacock]

@AirsoftSteveCope Wherever we go after our time on this Earth is up truly is the "final frontier", or the "undiscovered country" as Hamlet put it.

[GusF]

I remember hoping only a few hours before I heard that he had died that he still had a few years left. RIP.

[Nani101]

We miss you, Scotty! Thank you for your wonderful contributions to Star Trek... wouldn't have been the same without you!
