He almost got a perfect score from the judges of the Mister Universe contest
Face: 10/10
Acting: 10/10
Hands: 9/10No wonder he was so cool under pressure. Nothing on the Enterprise stood up to that kind of hell.
I agree. However, the colorful space food was likely it’s own special kind of helll.
Are you saying you don’t find this appetizing?
Well, you can always have a ham sandwich and some coff- ooh.
What this doesn’t tell you is that he was shot six times not by Nazis… but by friendly fire 🤦♂️.
To be fair, it was really chaotic and bullets were flying everywhere in both directions. There were a lot of friendly fire casualties on both sides when they stormed Normandy.
The urge to fact-check this is so strong, even though I know it to be inherently false. I want to believeHoly. Shit… this is going to take a sec to sink in. I’m in awe of what I have learned here today. Thank you
Which part, the D-Day part or the Space Navy part?
I’ve seen his Spacy Navy docuseries
before,a few times, a bunch (which was badass already), but I had no idea he was in D-day, taking out snipers and getting shot like it was out of some “Saving Private Ryan” shit… and he was a skilled pilot‽ Blew my mind todayHe really was. In fact, he lost a finger on D-Day and you can occasionally see it in various episodes, but he tried to keep it hidden most of the time.
I will now being looking for it every time I re-watch an episode
I’m sure there’s some sort of YouTube supercut or something.
I saw him at a con in the late 80s.
By way of concession, when responding not so enthusiastically to questions from the audience about the shenanigans Shatner and Nimoy got up to in order to blow off steam during long shooting days, Doohan said that since he’d been in real combat in WW2, he had a different approach to work and not a lot in common with them.
Damn, Doohans the man.
Never knew this, thanksAre you trying to tell me smoking saved his life?
Smoking- the savior and the death of WWII veterans?
Smoking saved Scotty and killed Spock. Leonard Nimoy died of COPD from smoking.
