Nicholas Courtney has died at 81. Rest in Peace, man.
He played my favorite Doctor Who recurring character/companion (he never travelled for an extended run in the TARDIS, but he was a regular in the years the Doctor was stranded on Earth without his TARDIS... I call him a companion, others disagree), Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, or "The Brigadier", appeared in the original series in 1968 and appeared as that character up until 1989. I was so hoping they'd get around to including him in the new series (his appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures, while cool, doesn't count as that for me, I wanted him to interact with the DOCTOR again, even if it was just during a trip to the past and Courtney just providing the voice over the phone).
Not been a good day yesterday, comic/animation great Dwayne McDuffie also passed away. In addition to creating characters like Static Shock, he was also wrote and produced a lot of animated television, in particular Justice League Unlimited, and many of DC's recent animated movies.
