He was also a badass pilot:
Although he was never actually a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Doohan was once labelled the "craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force". In the late spring of 1945, on Salisbury Plain north of RAF Andover, he slalomed a plane between telegraph poles "to prove it could be done", earning himself a serious reprimand. (Various accounts cite the plane as a Hurricane or a jet trainer; however, it was an Auster Mark IV.)

He was giving her all she's got.
It's a bit like how the Asgard need help from humans in SG1 because no rational alien race would think to put an explosive behind some metal pellets and make that an infantry weapon.
Also be nice to strangers, you never know what they're going through!
I can't imagine pushing someone over the edge just because I was short on patience one day. The thought really bothers me as I'm not a patient person.
To add to this - sometimes, people are being shitty because the world has been so shitty to them. You can't balance it out alone, but if every one of us were 5% more gentle with people we come across, there would be a ripple effect like this world has never seen.
Want a startrek future? It's going to take tiny steps from all of us to get there.

It's a phrase I learned due to the toxicity of the relationship with my ex.
With great fandom comes great responsibility.
People like James having existed feels like salt in the wound to the fact that the vast, vast majority of humans I've observed in my 3 and a half decades act like Feral Ferengi, exclusively interested in "what's in it for me and who can I exploit to get it?"
As I age, the humanity of Star Trek comes to feel as fantastical as the sci-fantasy in Star Wars.
Ferengis judged "Hoomons" for being worse than them. Ferengis never had slavery, and while they exploted eachother their hypercapitalist society was still more fair than ours (if you ignore the sexism)
Did they ever follow up with how much of an impact Quark's mom had? I remember all the drama in ds9 but I don't know if it ever changed much.
Yes if I remembet Quarks mom helped achieve ~~near~~ equality, where women were allowed to do as much as men could
Just think, this was a guy who was at D-Day. And the best thing he considers in his life was saving a young woman's life through nothing more than words and a promise.
Great guy, but whole fuck sending multiple suicide notes to a celebrity you like is...... yikes.
I mean shit dude, sometimes these people literally have no one else to go to. There was a super scary example of it on a Chuggaconroy video where a comment was like "thanks for the memories and for making my days a bit better" and everyone figured it out, and like every single comment - including the creator - told him not to and they succeeded. But still it was fucking insane to see on a YouTube video.
Well there's a little faith restoration for the day.
