I saw more memorial postings for Patrick Stewart’s passing than Walter Koenig. I guess Picard meant more than Chekov, but while Stewart performed on stage and screen, Koenig, who also brought the wonderfully bad guy Alfred Bester to life on Babylon 5 also did his own science fiction writing, which you may or may not know about. Not listed in this article is that while he didn’t get to return to the animated Star Trek as Chekov (either he was busy or Leonard Nimoy didn’t push hard enough for him as he did Nichelle Nichols and George Takei to join in), he did write the episode “The Infinite Vulcan”. Bonus daily video for the week!
