James Doohan - What will Blobster say?
When Reagan had it he described him as a brainless fool sitting in his own
diaper full of dung. Now lets see what he says: Title: Sad Trek news: James Doohan has Alzheimer's Source: San Diego Union Tribune URL Source: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/w...es/000531.html Published: Jul 3, 2004 Author: Jeff Dillon James Doohan, the actor who created the inexhaustible engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott for the original Star Trek, is suffering from Alzheimers, according to this report from E! Online. Doohan, 84, is "doing fine" in the early stages of the neurological ailment, son Chris Doohan told E! Online. James Doohan was already living with Parkinson's disease and diabetes. The "Beam Me Up Scotty" farewell convention and tribute for Doohan had already been scheduled for Aug. 28-30 in Hollywood to coincide with the actor's induction to the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Aug. 31. Trek luminaries William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, and Grace Lee Whitney and "dozens of guest stars from the classic Trek series and movies" are scheduled to attend. (Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died in 1991; DeForest Kelley, who first bridged the original series and The Next Generation with a cameo appearance, died in 1999.) Sad Trek news: James Doohan has Alzheimer's Doohan is still scheduled to attend both the convention and the induction ceremony, his son said. Like Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Spock and Kirk himself, the character of Scotty was carried forward from the original series and movies into The Next Generation universe when Capt. Picard's Enterprise-D finds him hidden in the transporter system of a starship that had crashed into a Dyson sphere 75 years earlier. Scotty also put in an appearance in the inter-series "Star Trek: Generations" film, in which Kirk vanishes into the Nexus and reappears - temporarily - in Picard's time. Like many other Trek figures, Doohan also ventured into writing - co-authori ng the non-Trek "The Rising" and "The Privateer" books about a starship engineer and the memoir "Beam Me Up, Scotty: Star Trek's 'Scotty' - In His Own Words'." Doohan's memories may fade, but our memories of him never will. My favorite Scotty moment among many: In "The Trouble With Tribbles," when Scotty explains he got involved in a bar fight with Klingons not because they insulted Kirk, but because they insulted the Enterprise. My worst Scotty moment: In the cringe-inducing "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," when the venerable actor is forced to savage his character by declaring "I know this ship like the back of my hand," turning around and then knocking himself out and hitting his head on a low-hanging pipe. In related Trek news, E! Online reported that Paramount declined to respond to a comment Trek executive producer Rick Berman made to Starburst magazine that he wanted to discuss ways of involving Shatner in the fourth season of Enterprise. Sounds like desperation time to me. I don't see how you can reasonably put Shatner back on screen as anyone other than Kirk, and, despite the proliferation of time travel in Enterprise, I don't think it's worth further violating the continuity of the "real" post-Enterprise Trek universe to have Kirk visit the past. (Though, since time has no meaning in the Nexus Kirk fell into in "Generations," the Enterprise Enterprise could always run into an incarnation of Kirk while coping with the galaxy-travelling ribbon of energy.) And, as beloved as Shatner is in some quarters, would you really want to turn the director's chair over to the man responsible for "The Final Frontier," widely credited as the worst Star Trek movie ever? |

The Idiot quoted:
"Few people deserved to have their brains slowly drained as much as Reagan!!! I hope his final years are a complete hell with no escape, accompanied by diaper changes, drooling and being wheeled about by his scarecrow of a wife. His own children relish his current state. Evil is often served such rewards." "Happy" Birthday, Ronald!!! Capt RB |

drooling and being wheeled about by his scarecrow of a wife.
His own children relish his current state. Evil is often served such rewards." And as far as the rewards for evil go, I'm sure you will reap yours for making such a statement as this. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Indeed, in reality, every individual has an inbuilt bias that the world, and indeed the universe, revolves around them. However, I was just commenting on Katysails' posting at 7 am local time, or thereabouts. Now me, I believe that no work or difficult activity should be attempted before, oh say 11am; and that one should cease labours after about 3pm. However, I do appreciate that some must work slavers' hours for little return. -- Flying Tadpole (in Oz mode) ------------------------- Break Away, Sail Away and putz away now at http://music.download.com/internetopera |

Whereas, I find I am most productive from about 6:00 am through 2pm and then I have a lag for about 3-4 hrs...then things pick up again until about midnight....cut all the sugar out of your diet and you, too, will find untold energy and vigor..... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
