Trekkies in mourning;'SCOTTY' is dead:

I believe that was all 78 episodes, right?

In one episode he was making out with a chick and she tried to stab him in the back, literally. Meanwhile, Spock was in another room with a different chick telling her he couldn't make out because of his 7 year spawning cycle.

.

 

Actually I was wrong about some details. I have just been to www.imdb.com - a great web site for checking on details of movies and TV shows- and found out that Jeffrey Hunter turned down the lead role for the series. Conversly he pushed for the lead role in The Brady Bunch and was turned down for the role.

 

Great show. I think i liked The Next Generation better though. I had a crush on Riker

 

Deep Space Nine wasn't bad but i think i liked Voyager the least

 

79, and 80 if you count the original pilot. Total number of episodes, that is, kirk obviously wasn't in the original pilot.

Hmm, I've just skimmed through all three pages and it seems no-one's mentioned the following bits of trivia. First of all, Scotty lost a finger in the war. He used to have a hand double for moving the faders on the transporter. Out of the 3 series you only ever noticed a missing finger once, and that was during The Trouble With Tribbles episode where Scotty can be seen holding a Tribble.

Another thing. Foolishly James Doohan decided to have a child not long ago when he was 80 (or thereabouts). Blimey, that's a bit silly isn't it - he knew he wasn't going to be around forever.

As you may have guessed I used to be a rather obsessive star trek fan. But there came a point when I knew everything there was to know about it and then they stopped making anything new (apart from Nemesis, which was SHIT and Enterprise which was good but nowhere near as good as anything that had gone before.) So these days I'm just left with the relics of my geeky star trek knowledge which has firmly implanted itself into my memory.

 

Nope. He should just have been called Randy Bastard.

 

There's one for ya. Any more creative names out there?

 

Blackie , you are trivialising an otherwise deep and meaningful thread into meaninglessness.

 

I'd say a lot mate

 

as long time Star Trek fan its hard to say goodbye to Scotty, at last Scotty was beamed up..

 

Scotty, was a part of a Canadian Artillery Regiment during the D-Day invasion of France on June 6, 1944!

 

dude this topic is so freaking old. i remember when scotty died when i was in las vegas in july. wow. what a strange six months it has been.

 

Thanks for the info.I didn't know about the lost finger;only the D-Day exploits & 'Little Scotty' .

"Callin' all Trekkies":

As a life-long Trekkie myself ,(I have all the first season episodes on videotape & a beer-belly from couch-potato hours watching em' all) a question about Star Trek has always eluded me.Please can anyone help?:

Star Trek made it's world debut in September 1966 in the U.S. on NBC with ' The Man Trap'.Britain didn't get to see Star Trek for the first time until the British premiere on BBC1 in June 1969 with 'Where No Man Has Gone Before'.(It filled-in on the Saturday tea-time gap of off-season 'Doctor Who').



Why did it take three years & the show's cancellation before Britain got to know of it's existence????.

 

Scotty was awesome. He was so much cooler than Geordi. Beacuse I look at Geordi and all I can think of is "Man he was the reading rainbow guy". Loser.

 

May Goddess be with you on your journey Scottie, where ever you may be; and shall you find Magical Flying Dragons and Rolling Green Hills and may Great Big White fluffy clouds roll over your blue skied Magical Kingdom, and may you find Great inner peace with the Super Unknown... We shall always remember you in our hearts, and in our minds and on re-runs - and fortunately so will the rest of humanity...And Spreading your ashes in Space is one step closer to home! Thank you Scottie, our love will be with you, always...

"Scottie, dude? Beam me up!"

 

I don't even remember hearing about "Scotty's" death. Of course, I've been out of the TV loop for a while now.
