RIP Walter Koenig. Of all his moments on Star Trek, one of his finest was accurately portraying an officer stuck doing bridge duty while massively hungover (Star Trek VI)

George Takei just posted something a little bit ago about Walter Koenig’s passing. I’d consider that a major confirmation.

I liked the fact that, trapped in 1980s USA, Kirk overlooked the problem with his officer with a Russian accent going around Sanfran harbour asking where the "Nuclear Wessels" were.

I'm not joking btw. It's great being able to do the big acting moments. But being able to accurately portray a raging hangover without it being over the top is hard shit. Walter Koenig nailed it.

BTW, there is no verifiable evidence he’s dead yet, just a guy who claims to know his daughter. I’m willing to be proved wrong here, but I hope not. No press release from his publicist, no death.
