Changes: He's dead, Jim

Revision as of 02:19, 2 May 2015

Template:Realworld "He's dead, Jim" is a famous catch phrase and snowclone used in Star Trek. It is mostly used by Dr. Leonard McCoy in Star Trek: The Original Series, typically after using his medical tricorder and reports it to James Kirk. Instances are whenever one of the Enterprise crew, such as a redshirt, or another character dies.

This article is a stub relating to real-world information such as a performer, author, novel, magazine, or other production material. You can help Memory Alpha by fixing it.
