A real tweet from Walter Koenig yesterday. Anyone planning on seeing him at GalaxyCon?

Is there something I should now about his health?
r2vq@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
He old
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m pretty sure it’s just because he’s 86.

I figured it was a hilariously macabre joke, I wish I lived in the area to get his signature.

Signature is worth more when you can’t get it anymore.

As if I could ever sell it if I had it. That would be framed and on my wall.

If he wore a wig like bill he'd look like he hasn't aged!

Yeah this isn’t a real tweet
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It is, but I think it’s posted to followers only (if Twitter works that way) because I can only see it while logged in.

Twitter through a browser no longer sorts by most recent. It’s almost impossible to find anything without a login.

My two partners and I took a bet on which of the OG cast would die next: Walter, George or Bill. I have Walter and now I feel kind of guilty 😅

No lie, he seems like such a cool dude. If I were in the area, I’d totally go to see him. And while I first knew him as Chekov, I grew to love him as Al Bester on Babylon 5, truly some of his best work!

Bester was so punchable, yet somehow sympathetic. He really nailed the role.
cybervseas@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As Chekhov it was like yeah okay I get what they were going for. But as Bester he really stole every episode of B5 he was in. Bravo, Walter. I wish more folks have B5 a chance. Looking at you, sis 👀
