Walter Koenig has died

[Springer]

He passed away Sunday night aged 90. As a lifelong Star Trek fan as well as Babylon 5, this is doubly devastating.

This past weekend I missed out on going to see George Takei in St Louis. This is an extremely painful reminder of what I did. Ugggggh

I just read jms's post on Bluesky. I literally, out loud, yelled, "No!" This is so sad.

Not really sad because I didn't know him personally, but glad he got the chance to shine in other roles, especially as Bester in B5. RIP.

Such a shame. Trek is my main thing despite owning a B5 site. But I never got into TOS, so while I recognise him as Chekov to me he shone as Bester.

I was talking about him and said "be seeing you" to my aunt and uncle on the phone... I had forgotten it on a conscious level it just came out.
