@Victor-Meldrew said in RIP 2022:
Wow, didn't know he was Mira's father
You'd have to think Weinstein didn't either...
I believe him. He would have whacked the guy!

What a trailblazer. At a time when there were few or no strong black women characters on TV, she was there on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, and doing vital work. And IIRC she shared the first interracial kiss with JTK

No one knew how to treat a lady quite like James T Kirk

Not sure whether this guy deserves a mention to be honest, sounds like he was an absolute fuckstain.
I always read articles about him with fascination though.

Not next to Nichelle Nichols and Bill Russell he doesn't!!!!

An acknowledgement that a diude who noone is going to mourn has left us is not a bad thing.

Pakman Senior used to play tennis with his dad, Cliff, who was a pretty decent bloke.

NZ Herald story: Remembering David Leggat: A Kiwi sports writer of unforgettable charisma
Quite a few tweets along these lines too:

@Donsteppa that is super sad. Enjoyed his writing and he was an OG of NZ sports journalism. Really feel for his family and colleagues.

RIP TC. What a cool sidekick he was.
Also played a very convincing Sonny Liston in a doco/movie about Ali.

It's easy to forget how old some of the TV stars we watched as a child now are. William Shatner is 91!
Yeah sad that this era of TV stars are dwindling. You look at shows like the A team, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider and of course Magnum PI and realise that while they’re dated and incredibly cheesy it really was a magic era of TV.
I wouldn’t have watched Magnum PI in close to 30 years but still got a bit sad reading TC had passed.

The new Magnum PI appears to be a giant woke shower. The old one was the boss

The way she carried herself, well grace is the word.
