TOS; the last nail

[RobertScorpio]

Had Kirk and Spock and company had been stranded on earth in THE VOYAGE HOME, how long do you think they would have lived???

In option five I meant Kirk, but I put Shatner by mistake...since they do seem to be one and the same..

My preference would be not to predict when they all will have passed on.

The average person lives to be about 80, give or take. It's easy to hazzard a guess based on that, but still, it's not the type of thing I'd post about. I'm sure I also speak for others.

This is in unbelievably bad taste.

I agree. Moreso than your tricked out avater, but only slightly.

Isn't this about fictional characters?

Well, it is now that RobertScorpio edited his original post. Initially it was guessing when the last of the TOS cast would die, but he changed after the first couple of replies.

A good answer isn't really in the poll, since Spock is half Vulcan and might have a significantly longer lifespan than his shipmates. I'd give him a good chance of outliving even Checkov. He would have his work cut out for him establishing new identities that wouldn't raise scrutiny over slow aging though.

As long as it doesn't involve a mechanical rice picker from China he'll do okay.

Unless Spock dies in the new movie, I'm guessing he reaches 200 and dies sometime around 2430.

The youngest TOS actor is 48 years old (Brian Tochi) so the last TOS acot will live probably till 2055.
It'd be nice if the last TOS actor lived till 2064 the 100th aniversay of TOS production.

C'mon Brian live to 104 !!!!

Considering the recasting for Trek XI, I don't see any reason why the TOS characters ever need to "die."

Doesm't Spock live into Nex Gen time?

McCoy was still kicking at 137 in "Encounter at Farpoint," although he had the benefit of ready access to 24th-century medicine.

Kirk and Spock were in the early to mid-fifties when they arrived in 1986. If we assume that Kirk lives to at least 110, then he'd be around until about 2040. If Spock lives to about 180 (less than Sarek's drop-dead age of 204 or so, probably reasonable given the complete lack of medical care for Vulcans), then he'd be around until about 2110.
