Nooo! Scotty! I mean, Nooo! James Doohan! that makes two or three of the original series Star Trek actors dead. Just what I need. I hit about of depression, read the new Harry Potter book, and then an Original Series actor goes and dies. Just peachy.

Well, given that I didn't know him personally, I can't say that I'm particularly horrified by his death to the point that I'm going to commit suicide. I mean, people die. And does anyone know if Leonard Nimoy's alive? I have conflicting information about that.

The last I heard he was alive and doing well, not much acting, just a commercial or two, but alive.

He was a staple of our childhoods. An icon, if you will. In these turbulent days where television is more popular than church, it's like the death of a minor god.
