So long, Scotty...
WWII veteran and Star Trek actor James Doohan dead at 85.
I had the fortune of meeting the gentleman a couple of times, a few years ago, for a few minutes each time. During our few minutes of conversation at Chiller Theatre, or our extended conversation at a comic book convention (where there was no line for him at all), he was the sweetest guy around. A more jovial and friendly guy you'll be hard pressed to find. His autobiography's not a bad read either, if you're a fan of the original series.

Re: True
There's a few good moments with Doohan. He has one gushing speech about the wave of love that flows over him at conventions that's kind of creepy, and then there's the touching story of the suicidal woman that he kept alive by inviting her to conventions.
