Scotty's dead. He's beamed up to the great starship in the sky.
James Doohan passed away this week. Believe it or not, his family is going to shoot his remains into orbit. Maybe they can move quick and get some kind of package deal with Hunter S. Thompson's family...
But don't worry, other members of the Enterprise crew are still spry. Capt. Kirk even gets to reappear as Uber-lawyer Danny Crane on Boston Legal. (I thought they canceled it. Unfortunately for us all, they didn't.) Spock, at least has the good sense to stay retired.
Oh well, fire up the bagpipes for a few bars of Amazing Grace so we can send the old boy off in style. Somebody has to give this post some dignity.

Scotty,
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
That's a very romantic ending to have your remains blasted into the splendor of the great expanse. But he's not even having all his remains blasted out there, and what little will be, will just spiral back down to earth and be completely incinerated into the atmosphere. I like the idea of being blasted on a trajectory to remain floating around out there for a while. Then on the Morning of the First Resurrection at the Second Coming, it'd be really cool to come forth in outer space! Although, if resurrection requires a priesthood ordinance or blessing of some sort, maybe I'll have to wait til someone swims out there from earth and finds me. That could be inconvenient. I bet I get made fun of for this strange comment.
