In memory Walter Koeing whats best Russian Joke he made in Franchise History

Star Trek VI Undercovered Country:

"I don't know you heard Russian Epic of Cinderella if shoe fits were it" when I was kid first time I hered that line I couldn't not stop laughing. I love You Walter Koeing my profits guide you to the Next life.

I met the main characters of the original Star Trek, aside from Kirk and Spock, at a Star Trek convention in the early seventies. Got some autographs and my recollection was that everybody was super nice. Definitely one of my favorite shows growing up

RIP Walter Koenig you will really be missed.

The passing of Walter Koenig leaves just Shatner and Takei as the last surviving members of the TOS cast. And Shatner has only his hatred of George to fuel his desire of outliving him. It’s fitting it would come down to them considering their decades long feud. Who will be last man standing?

RIP sir

Koenig’s performance in Wrath of Khan efficiently sells the film’s villain before he appears—“Botany Bay? [beat] Botany Bay! Oh no!”

He then goes on to quickly exposit all casual viewers need to know about “Space Seed”: “A criminal. A product of late 20th-century genetic engineering.” This quickly leads to a memorably fierce exchange: “You lie! On Ceti Alpha V there was life, a fair chance—“ which sets up Montalban for his first explosion of the titular emotion.

He shows Chekhov’s undaunted courage and again summarizes Khan’s true nature by pointing out his treachery: “Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him!”

Then when the exchange turns into literal torture—well, Walter could deliver a hell of a convincing scream.

RIP.

Walter Koenig has died. We've lost another legend. 😢🖖
