    “Shatner was taken to a local hospital to get checked out, with the source saying the actor was good and resting comfortably.”

    That article is like a full on obituary. I don’t like it.

        If you told me my 94 year old grandma was resting comfortably, I would be packing bags and checking flights.

          If you told me my 94 year old grandpa was doing anything other than putzing around in the yard, garage or woodshop I’d be in my car blowing through red lights.

            Im sorry, grandpa. Your grandson and a family died because he was blowing through red lights at full speed. Witnesses say he heard you were resting after putzing around with your hobbies all morning.

          are you suggesting a relationship between resting comfortably and resting in peace?

            Frequently that phrase is used when there’s “nothing more they can do” but have given a lot of pain meds.

        The phrase isn’t worrisome unless the patient is in hospice. To me it just means he was seen by medical professionals and is chilling in a hospital bed while they double check labs and such. Been there, done that.

      If you’re a celebrity over the age of about 70, I assume every media outlet already has your obituary ready to go and just update them if you do anything notable like winning an Oscar or getting done for noncing.

      I don’t know from everything I’ve seen of him or actually not seen of him because if he shows up at a Comic-Con he literally has to be hidden away and you can’t even look into his direction without paying money. I don’t think he’s that good of a person overall. His character may be awesome and he may be fairly legendary in the acting community and the Star Trek community. But I just don’t think he’s that good of a person.
