Very sad.

Very tragic. I felt his take on Chekov was much better than the original’s.

Still, no one comes close to the character as he was written in the original novel(s).

You can’t compare book and film characters.

I was being sarcastic. There was no original “Star Trek” book(s) before the original T.V. series. Walter Koenig (like the other original series actors) molded and created the character over time based on various scrips by various writers. The actors in “Star Trek” (2009) and “Star Trek Into Darkness” seem to be doing impressions of the original series actors playing the roles that they had developed. I can see enjoying an actor more, but Koenig essentially owns that character.

Damn, I just saw her in a Superman short about selling government stamps at the MST3K/Rifftrax reunion the other day.

I was at that too! Great show. My wife got it as a gift for me but I think she ended up laughing more than I did.

I wondered if you’d be there actually. I laughed myself hoarse. It was really great to see both bands back together, and I feel like the new kid will do the franchise justice.

Is that show gonna cost me money? I was all excited about that show from Wash and Captain Tightpants, until I found out it was something I had to pay Vimeo for (despite the Kickstarter campaign that should have covered it).

It shouldn’t from what I’ve seen. Who knows what they’ll do once the time comes. I mean they raised 6.3 million dollars, which is insane.

Same here. I wasn’t sure she was still around.

It was great she had small roles in Superman '78 and Superman Returns.

Where were you in '77?

I knew she had been in Superman '78, but I did not know she was also in Superman Returns. She played Lois Lane, a movie serial, I think.

Two Superman serials and five out of the six seasons of The Adventures of Superman, actually.

I think this photo captures Kenny’s personality best. I put this one up on the OT twitter, since I knew 99% of everyone else would use Artoo.

And lest we forget, he was one of The Time Bandits

We haven’t lost a major SW cast member since Alec Guinness, so yeah it hurts.

That sucks. RIP Kenny.
