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

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.

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.

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

Get two

Two frames. Got it!

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

I see you have the lobes for business.

Is there something I should know about his health?

r2vq@lemmy.ca · 21 pts · 2y

He old

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

ButtholeSpiders@startrek.website · 18 pts · 2y

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

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

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 😅

Absolute legend!

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@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y

It is lol

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

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@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website · 4 pts · 2y

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.
