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.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I see you have the lobes for business.

Is there something I should know about his health?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago
[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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 😅

He forced our ̶h̶a̶n̶d̶ finger

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Absolute legend!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

What a graceful statement from him. Damn. 😭

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah this isn't a real tweet

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.
