Scotty Beams Up

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- James Doohan, the burly chief engineer
of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and
motion pictures who responded to the command "Beam me up, Scotty," died
early Wednesday. He was 85.

Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. (1330 GMT) at his Redmond, Washington, home
with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and
longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia
and Alzheimer's disease, he said.

Damn! i liked him, his character... one of my favorites was
the "tribble" episode where he got in trouble for fighting with
the Klingons in neutral territory. Capt. Kirk questioned him
about it, and Scotty basically said that it wasn't when the
Klingons disparaged the Captain that caused the fight. It was
when they called the Enterprise a garbage scow, and then
said that "NO! The Enterprise shouldn't HAUL garbage, it
ought to be hauled away AS garbage," that the fight began.

And at the end, my favorite Scotty line...

". . . it'll be no tribble at all!"

The honorable James Doohan, a.k.a. Chief Engineer
Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, will be sorely missed.

At least now when we say, "Beam me up, Scotty," he will
really be up there to do it! g

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Actually I believe it was "it was no tribble at all!"

Didn't he say once that no one actually said 'beam me up scotty', rather
like James Cagney never actually said 'You dirty Rat'

Yeah, maybe they will show the original series again now, I doubt it,
the later and newer series were ok but can't beat the original ;-)

As I recall, it would have been more like, "Scotty! Beam us up!"

But memory accuracy of exact word sequences is not very dependable, as
I have found in trying to do Google searches on "remembered" phrases.

I still see an original episode shown once in a while on the Sci-Fi
cable channel.

It's interesting that they cancelled it after only three years. Shows
the incompetence and lack of vision of network management at that time,
failing to see the show's potential.

Shows like "Battlestar Gallactica" tried to fill the void, but never
were as good, and left one feeling lonely for Star Trek.

But when I first saw an episode of "Star Trek the Next Generation" in
the late eighties, I instinctively knew that it was the work of the
same man who created the original series, Gene Roddenberry. It had the
same quality.

During the first run of the original series, many people liked to show
off their new "color" televisions by tuning into the show. Star Trek
was a very colorful show compared to the many shows that were still
being shown in black and white at the time.
