maybe it is Michael Brown, Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall. Vibes to all the families.

It's all too sad.
Micheal Brown's death as a "message" along with these particular two however is extremely poignant

Starring Robert Culp, Arlene Martel, and the iconic Bradbury Building (which has been featured in many films):
Here it is:

BTW, this is a real gem. Well worth a look. One of the best SciFi episodes ever on TV.

"Amok Time" is one of my favorite Original Series episodes (along with "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "The Enterprise Incident," of course). She's gone too? Beautiful woman.
Wow - this IS a shitty week...

(33,615 posts)Once you reach three, you start counting again.
People die every day, in random groupings.
It's a silly myth that has it's roots in the holy trinity to give more credence to a religious concept.
No reflection on reality.

He's headed to the ER now, I think he'll be OK.

Tomorrow I start yelling at people until I find out who #%^*ed the thing up. I am so god damed angry that I can't even begin to put words to it.

MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)The potential problems are dehydration and temporary organ failure, he's ist in the ER now where I trust that they'll catch and handle either of those two.
He got a prescription yesterday for a pretty serious drug and the dosage on the label was for about 10x the maximum allowable daily dosage for any human being, and probably 20x for him. Fortunately he felt like he was about to take The Dirt Nap after only half a day's dosage and stopped.

(81,451 posts)AND I just found out that T'Pring died, today! SHIT! That beautiful, alluring, exotic Vulcan woman who was Spock's bride in the episode "Amok Time". One of my all-time favorite ANYTHING episodes. Arlene Martel.
Shit. What a crappy week. Will Pitt wrote something here today about that same lament. And criminy - it's only Tuesday.

(6,663 posts)It seems all of our "icons" are dying off. It's incredibly sad. My son told me yesterday of Robin's death, and it just took my breath away.

(18,497 posts)Sure death comes in threes.
If you wait long enough. Or if you count minor celebrities.
Or if you ignore when 4 or 5 people die within a short period.
