Mr. Doohan always seemed to be a total sweetheart of a man. He will be missed.

Interestingly enough, the line "Beam me up, Scotty," was actually never uttered in an episode of Star Trek!

The Original Star Trek was considered ground-breaking for its time because it actually had scientists that it consulted with regarding some of the technology etc...I LOVED LOVED LOVED this show on so many levels and when the first Star Trek movie came out I stood in line to watch it! it was so awesome to think that it had a life beyond the TV series! I have to say tho, I didnt like the Next Generation, I HATED Picard! and Data was a poor substitute for Spock (the interaction between Spock and Kirk and Bones was priceless)

Warp Speed, Scotty, as you go Beyond the Rim of Starlight...........
