He's Dead, Jim



Over at Pop Culturista, we took at look at Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy of the USS Enterprise and his most memorable catchphrase, "I'm a doctor, not a (whatever)!" That phrase was used over and over, and long outlasted McCoy and the original Star Trek series. However, it's not the only line McCoy relied on in the series. John DiMarco gives us another compilation that highlights McCoy pronouncing someone dead, over and over, throughout the show's three-year run. We usually remember this as "He's dead, Jim." But it varied quite a bit. After all, you can't address Jim when it's Jim himself, Captain James T. Kirk, who is the dead one in at least three of these clips. Lucky for us, Dr. McCoy was often wrong in that conclusion. -via Laughing Squid

McCoy could fix a rainy day and do incredible medical procedures to bring back 'Jim' and Spock, too but a red shirt? Fuggedaboutit. He barely touched them. Buh bye!
