He played Mr Chekov in the new films.

:frowning: How very sad. But he wasn’t a musician, so is he allowed in the 27 Club?

I’m going to Hell. Join me?

That sucks. I really liked him. Thought he was great in “Hearts In Atlantis.”

And Odd Thomas.

Since he ran himself over he qualifies as a drummer in Spinal Tap.

They should get Walter Koenig to play Chekov in the next Trek movies. No one better than the original

Or as a finalist in the Upper-Class Twit of the Year competition.

He was actually born in Russia, unlike Walter Koenig, so I suspect he looked at the shift lever and some deep impulse made him think the first symbol stood for “Распутица”. Nobody wants that.

…Huh? “Rasputeetsia”?

You do realize Koenig is approaching eighty, right?

Yes. So what? Plenty of 80+ year old actors out there still working

It was a notorious factor in the battle of Stalingrad: the time in spring when the snow melts and everything turns into a slopping mess. If you put it into one of them translator thingies, it will give you “season of bad roads”.

.

Yikes that does not look good for Jeep.

I guess the only question is if it caught him by surprise or if he made a judgement error and tried to stop the vehicle from rolling with his body. Not that it matters much in the end.

Sure, in roles for eighty year olds. But the Star Trek reboot series is about a new crew in their new starship just beginning their mission. I think you’d have a hard time selling Koenig as a guy who just graduated from Star Fleet Academy.

He was a slow learner. Took him a while to get through school.

Or just go with the Next Gen answer, spatial anomaly.

A wizard did it.

One of Pakistan’s best known Sufi musicians, Amjad Sabri, has been shot dead in the southern port city of Karachi.

Can anyone claim the 55 pts?
