Rest In Peace Scotty.

He will be missed. I had the chance to talk to him to him at a con years ago. He was a funny, intellegent man. He made the time to talk with fans, tell stories, and showed an appreciation to the fans for helping to keep the ideas of the the series alive.
Truely a great man.

Yes he will be missed. He was the best engineer in all Star Trek.

I can't help but wonder where he is right now since I'm a fan and all and enjoyed his character.

One of my faves too... now you find references to engineers that are scotsmen throughout a lot of sci-fi...


(PS
haven't seen you on the forums for a while... how's everything going?)

As a 14 year old girl, he's the one I had fantasies about.

Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott aka Skotty was one of the only Star Trek Originals that accepted his character outside of the show.
He truly understood that the people loved his character and accepted that he would always be associated with that character.
When his remains are launched into space I wish I could be there to watch the rocket blast off. He will finally and truly get into space where he belongs.
May the Chief Engineer of the Enterprise forever fly in space boldly going where no man has gone before, beeming himself all over the universe.
