There will no more one more last thing

Peter Falk has died. He can't have, right? He'll be back for one final question. Right? Right?

ETA: As always Cicero has the right words. Falk was "someone we would have wished for to be immortal, if that were possible." (Said of the Roman actor Roscius, so it seems appropriate.)

My mother will be heartbroken. And as for me, he'll always be the man convincing me that it's not a kissing book.

Irish TV used to show Columbo all the time. Along with John Wayne films it seemed to be one of their staples. I feel strangely bereft.

Oh no! I loved watching him act, he was really amazing.

He was so much fun. And I loved that they told you the killer was at the start of Columbo. Stopped me from sympathizing with the wrong person.

Hee! That's a perfect description of part of why I adored that show. It was all about the unraveling of the mystery.

I really loved his "one more question" lines.

I know! And I loved how he just shambled back into rooms.

That about expresses my feeling.

I always knew him as the grandfather in "The Princess Bride". It made me sad to learn that he had passed away.

(Though I do appreciate Cicero's words.)

He was so awesome in everything.

Truly sad. His face seemed to express the sweetest nature. I loved shambling old Columbo.

And his horrible coat! And his dog! He had a great face and voice.
