Sure is better than a few other things I have been called. :)

It's good to be a geek! No shame, my good man!

Very very cool gifts. :-)

Yes! Very funny ("Free Enterprise"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWq54c9_...

I have Shatner's book- Star Trek Memories, too. When I met him, decades ago, it was at an Autorama in Detroit (Cobo Hall). He was shorter than I expected but still an impressive fellow. I met Nichols at a convention a few years later. I know, I know, some think if you went to a Star Trek convention you are a geek.. so be it. :P

I bet he is. He was just great on the Shatner roast, where he took a lot of shots too. Good example of why not to ostracize gays.

Envious. Always wanted to meet Shatner. Now, I guess having met Nimoy was more valuable...for a bit.
Did you ever see the movie "Free Enterprise", where Shatner played himself, as and alcoholic, befriended by some 30-something Trekies? That was hilarious. I could've been a character in that.

He lived a long and full life.

+1 :) I met Shatner and Nichols. Both were amiable enough. Wish I had met Nimoy and others...

Friend of mine has been forwarding me some of GT's FB posts over the past few years, turns out he actually knows the guy and says he is one of the most genuinely likeable people he has ever met.

Perfect! I should definitely have put that in the post!

It is my favorite Trek movie too. "..hours could seem like days..." Although "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one", this can only be true if the assessment is made by the one.

Loved Ricardo Montalban too. Very nice person, and quite a physique for a old man.

Wait! Does anyone know about the government Genesis Device. Maybe he'll be back.

Human!

After Star Trek, I remember enjoying many episodes of "In Search Of."
Very sad... :(

I heard she was very nice as well. Shatner is probably the most ostentatious. Jimmy Doohan was definitely cool. I find George Takai hilarious.

Just got a new version of the Enterprise Blueprints and the Star Trek Technical Manual for Xmas (childhood ones lost over time).

A really good friend met her last fall at a lounge at the airport. He said she is wonderful! He's also a huge Trek fan.

:-)

And Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) and the engaging and flamboyant George Takai (Sulu).

Great minds think alike!

I thought he was relatively about reducing government, anti-Orwellian.
Great voice. At least a good general actor, but boy did he breakthrough with a seminal character !

Agreed.

Oops I just posted this also, lol. It is sad, but not unexpected. They are all of advanced ages at this point. Those that remain at least.
I also liked him on 'Fringe'...

Sad News... Few remain.
Walter Koenig - Chekov also still lives.

Thanks for all the great memories. See you out there, Science Officer.

I got the alert on my phone - another candle darkened. Say what you will about the politics - the man had tremendous talent.
