LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and motion pictures who responded to the apocryphal command "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday. He was 85.

Here's to ya, lad.

He just couldn't do it, Cap'n. He didn't have the power.

What a shame that such a major important pop cultural figure didn't make the front pages...

Interesting note of trivia:

Kirk never once said the quote "Beam me up, Scotty" in any episode or movie.

He will most definitely be missed.
