"The Word Is Given. Warp Speed."

A moment of silence, please, for James "Scotty" Doohan.

It was easy to make fun of the "Scotty" accent, or of Doohan's increasing girth in later Trek movies, but in truth he was a talented actor, and a guy who never turned his back on his fans. I had a lot of affection for Scotty, and I'm sorry to see the man who brought him to us go.

Also, the fact that the original Star Trek actors are slowly leaving us is kind of starting to make me feel old. Sigh.
