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

What a graceful statement from him. Damn. 😭

Yeah this isn’t a real tweet

EDIT: apparently it is but can’t be seen without an x account

ruckblack , 10 months ago

It is lol

The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 10 months 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.

The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 10 months ago

Oh, that might have been it too. I’m no expert on using twitter.

StillPaisleyCat , 10 months ago

I avoid it as much as possible, and don’t even really lurk much at this point.

I just wish that some of the Twitter users who set up Mastodon accounts last fall would keep them up as actively as they do Twitter.

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 😅

Is there something I should know about his health?

He old

The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 10 months 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.

astronaut_sloth , 10 months ago

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 , 10 months 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 gave B5 a chance. Looking at you, sis 👀

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

The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 10 months ago

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

XaeroDegreaz , 10 months ago

Get two

The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 10 months ago

Two frames. Got it!

_cerpin_taxt_ , 10 months ago

Can never be too safe. You know what, just go ahead and triple frame that.

I see you have the lobes for business.
