It'll be a sad day when those two guys are gone.

Damn.

Seems to be a bad week for Star Trek actors.

He is exploring the true final frontier now. 

The flag's already at half-staff. 

Seems like a good part of the greats I've experienced in my life have passed on.

I can remember "discovering" Star Trek reruns when I was a kid (mid-'70s), so I have memories of Koenig from that.  I remember him more for his role as Alfred Bester on Babylon 5.   Combining a couple of my favorites (Koenig, one of my favorite authors and a fairly-authentic-to-his-work portrayal of telepaths), it just really stuck in my mind.  

Am still pondering the passing of Patrick Stewart.  I'd always hoped to see him on stage, too late now.
