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

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 17:52 collapse

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

XaeroDegreaz@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 18:00 collapse

Get two

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 18:03 collapse

Two frames. Got it!

_cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 18:16 next collapse

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

I see you have the lobes for business.

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!

cygnus@lemmy.ca on 12 Aug 2023 18:09 collapse

Bester was so punchable, yet somehow sympathetic. He really nailed the role.

cybervseas@lemmy.world on 13 Aug 2023 06:27 collapse

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 👀

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

someguy3@lemmy.ca on 12 Aug 2023 18:44 next collapse

Is there something I should know about his health?

r2vq@lemmy.ca on 12 Aug 2023 19:00 next collapse

He old

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 19:05 collapse

I’m pretty sure it’s just because he’s 86.

ButtholeSpiders@startrek.website on 12 Aug 2023 19:32 collapse

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

Kushan@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 19:05 next collapse

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 😅

Corgana@startrek.website on 12 Aug 2023 20:54 next collapse

Yeah this isn’t a real tweet

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

ruckblack@sh.itjust.works on 12 Aug 2023 21:18 next collapse

It is lol

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 22:10 collapse

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.

StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website on 12 Aug 2023 22:46 collapse

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

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 2023 22:52 collapse

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

StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website on 12 Aug 2023 23:25 collapse

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.

Ok I will then 😢

Absolute legend!

What a graceful statement from him. Damn. 😭
