Nichelle Nichols, David Warner AND Bernard Cribbins? Sci-fi has been dealt nasty a blow this month. Its actually kind of amazing to think that we only have Shatner, Takei and Koenig left of the TOS crew.

Shatner surprises me the most. He's not exactly having a healthy life-style.

Me too. Usually at 90 people tend to drop weight. Not keep it on. He is still chubby which is interesting.

Hell he doesn't even look 90. Physically he looks like he is in better shape than Patrick Stewart who is ten years younger.
I got nothing to say here.

Shatner tends to keep very active from what I've heard over the last few years.

I heard the same too. At that age you have to stay active. You don't, well game over.

Nichols had been sick for a while. This isn't surprising but it is sad.
