montgomery scott

There were rumours that he died before but that time he was simply stuck in a transporter buffer feedback loop. Todays news though is sad, this time Scotty has truly gone.

Some trivia, have you ever noticed Scotty (James Doohan) had a finger missing and wondered where he lost it? It was at Juno Beach on D-Day, where as a Canadian officer he was hit six times by machine-gun fire! Scotty was an on-screen hero--while James Doohan was the real thing! Rest in peace Scotty--the universe will not be the same without you. Thanks James Doohan for putting it on the line at Juno--we owe you a lot!
