Sad day for all of his fans.

He lived a good long life though.

R.I.P., Mr. Doohan.

I also got to meet him twice, and he was quite the character. Truly a sad day for Trek fans.

OMG that is tragic news indeed

[Fragmentary]

He was one of the good ones :salute:
Thankfully he was at ease with his Star Trek persona and able to happily embrace still being that character all these years later.

FLEET! A-TEN-TION! ALL HANDS SALUTE! :salute: :salute: :Nsalute: :Nsalute:

Stand down, Mr. Scott. The engines can take care of themselves for awhile.

Mr. Doohan, thank you for all the years entertaining us. We will never watch another space sci-fi show without thinking of you. They all have chief engineers now and are all inspired by your work.

[gpdesigner]

This is totally out of the blue . . . :Nsalute: For Jimmy
I met Jimmy Doohan as well in the mid 70's at the Statler Hilton in New York, it was my first Star trek Covention . .

yep . . sad day today
3d

[gmd3d]

I would have loved to meet him. He was a wonderful character

[Compass]

21-gun salute and a minute of silence, please.

Captain-Engineer Montgomery Scott, rest in peace.

[Begin military-like obit]

Starfleet Captain-Engineer Montgomery Scott's first love was his first assignment as Chief Engineer, while he was a Lieutenant Commander, aboard USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701). He also served as Chief Engineer on the successor USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-A), and briefly as Captain-Engineer of USS EXCELSIOR (NX-2000, later NCC-2000). Captain Scott was an exceptionally canny engineer, but he was well-known during the latter stages of his career not so much for his engineering skills but for his role in preventing the assassination of the Federation President at Khitomer. He witnessed the launch of the third USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-B). Upon retirement, Captain Scott boarded USS JENOLEN enroute to a retirement colony when JENOLEN encountered the first-known Dyson Sphere and accidentally crashed. Captain Scott ingeniously stored himself in the transporter of JENOLEN, and was rescued seventy-five years later by the crew of the fifth USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-D). Captain Scott later devised a way to rescue the fifth ENTERPRISE from the inside of the Dyson Sphere.

On Stardate 20057.20, Starfleet Captain-Engineer Montgomery Scott passed away peacefully at the age of eighty-five.

Well done Compass............... :salute: Welcome to the fleet :)

[gmd3d]

I hate to do this to you, and in this of all places. But the Enterprise-A had Scotty as Chief Engineer. It featured in the end of Star Trek IV - VI

He was quoting our favorite engineer from his appearance on TNG. The line was from a sauced Scotty making sure that the computer understood exactly which Enterprise he wanted recreated on holodeck. ;)

Been ages since I've watched that episode, I apologise

[Compass]

Thanks Julix

No worries. We Trek Geeks have to stick together in the dark territories of a Battlestar Galactica message board. :D

[julix]

Thanks Julix


You are welcome :)

I found this to day enjoy a note to a departed friend

Tribute to Jimmy

by George Takei

A beloved friend has passed. James Doohan was admired by so many. Star Trek fans throughout the world loved Engineer Montgomery Scott and came to know Jimmy, the actor who portrayed him, from the countless conventions all over the world that became a part of his life. He loved meeting fans. He was an exuberant people person. Jimmy reveled in laughing, talking, and, especially, drinking with people. He embraced the joy of living with the gusto of a Falstaff.

Jimmy was big and generous with everything - he shared his pleasures, his dislikes, his passions, and, most generously, his luminous gift as an actor. He was fascinating to watch on screen, on the boards in a theater, or on a convention stage. He brought his life in all his robustness to his work. Jimmy was Scotty. He famously said, "Scotty is 99 percent me and 1 percent accent." To me, Scotty was 100 percent Jimmy's talent for conferring his entire being to his work. Jimmy's life radiated from every role he played. Whether as a Scottish Starfleet engineer on screen, as an English barrister on stage, or making an appearance at a convention, Jimmy's life was fully and beamingly there. He was always compelling.

Jimmy was one of a kind. He was a joy to work with. I loved doing scenes with him. Jimmy gave so much. His generosity as an actor was remarkable. He could also be a considerate adviser. When I was having trouble with a particular phrase in my dialogue, he'd give me suggestions from his bountiful bag of experience. During some of the inevitable boring waits between set-ups, he was fun to be with on the set. When he got grumpy, it was best to leave the set.

For a time, before he moved to Redmond, Washington, Jimmy was my special drinking buddy. We shared some blissful times together. He loved his Scotch. He was of Irish ancestry but he said he had imbibed enough of the libation of Scotland to qualify him as a Scotsman. When his doctor told him he had to quit drinking Scotch, he dutifully complied. He switched to vodka. He introduced me to the pleasures of a lovely wine - Chateau Neuf du Pape. I introduced him to the delights of sushi. Jimmy, with his characteristic passion, took to the delectable flavors of raw fish from his first bite. His spirit of adventure was in his palate as well as his soul.

Jimmy Doohan was a hearty, down-to-earth guy. Now, he will be more than that. He has asked that his remains be shot out to space.

That is so you, Jimmy.

When all of us who loved you look up at the vastness of the twinkling night sky, we'll know that you are truly there among the stars, beaming down at us from the heavens with that wonderful, sparkling smile of yours.
