James Doohan, a D-Day veteran and the revered actor who played Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the original Star Trek series died today at 85.  This topic is for all members of the Compendium to pay their respects.

I was wondering why they were showing clips of him on the news when I woke up...I just thought he was bitching about being Scotty or something...Well, that sucks...It was always awesome when they would bring older characters into some of the newer Star Trek series somehow (like Scotty in TNG).

I owe some of my inspiration to become an astronautical engineer to him. Farewell, Mr. Scott.

Okay, I know I really shouldn't, I mean, heck, I've already read and posted in this thread...But every time I see the thread, I keep thinking that it says "Beat Me Up, God" and at first I'm bewildered and them I'm just plain giggly...then I'm like, "Oh yeah...that Scotty thread...why do I keep doing that?" Just thought I'd share that w/you since it's just past 5:30AM as I post this...
