Walter Koenig, who played the spirited Russian crewman Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek TV series, has died aged 90.

RIP

It’s a shame that he passed away; the only positive aspect is that he died at the age of 90—meaning he had a full life and lived long enough to experience a long life. May he rest in peace.

I fear Shatner will be next which will hit me harder because I love him outside of Trek in the other stuff he's done. The UnXplained is a cool show that Shatner does.
