Leonard Nimoy passed away today. As a fan of Star Trek for over forty years, I’m deeply saddened to hear this news. Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy, and thank you for all the enjoyment you’ve brought to my life with your wonderful portrayal of Mr. Spock over the decades.

He was a true “alien” if there ever was one. I really liked what George Takai said about him … “” We return you now to the stars.”

Yes. Me too. Nimoy was a good man. He seemed to be sincerely nice and caring, and never did I get an impression of bloated ego from him. George Takai is a fine fellow too. 🙂 Pretty soon, all those guys will be gone. I feel SO old.

R.I.P., Leonard Nimoy. I grew up on Star Trek. I was just a kid when my dad watched Captain Kirk, Spock, and Dr. McCoy have Scotty beam them up. I always liked Spock the best.
On a completely unrelated note: Over forty years?!? I would have guessed you were much younger than that.

Physically I’m 51, but mentally…8 or 9. That’s the cause of your thinking I was younger. 🙂

Well, keep up the good work, then. It’s better to be thought young at heart than an old geezer. 😉

Oddly he was the one through the early Star-trek years who let me know (from the part he played) it was not that unusual to be someone who took things literally as I do – always have. Once I realized that it ensured I ‘got my leg across’ far more often than I had previously! An important thing for a much younger me! A fine chap; a fine tribute.

He lived a good, long life. He was supposed to make a cameo in the next Star Trek movie with Bill Shatner as Kirk. Too bad that can’t happen now. It would have been great to see those two together as the original Spock and Kirk one last brief time.

Just watch a bio thing on him – he plainly did many more things than the brilliant Spock. Great chap
LikeLike
Very many things. He wrote, painted, played in many films, series and plays, and he released an album. Versatile, talented, decent guy who lived a good, long life.

And I forgot to add he was a very good director.

That director bit came out in the lengthy bio the BBC News put out yesterday – they did him rather proud!

Great. He seemed to be a very decent human being, too.

I’ve been more of a Whovian than a Trekkie, but I know Nimoy well from his work on Fringe. I’m sad. He lived well and prospered, but not quite long enough.

I loved him on Fringe. Great character. Love Doctor Who, also. Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor followed VERY closely by David Tennant. More than anything though, I love Star Wars. 🙂

Oh no, this is sad! Spock was my favorite Star Trek character by far. As a child, I emulated many of the qualities he portrayed in that role.

Very sad. I loved him as host of the 70’s show “In Search Of” too. Each week the show would go in search of fantastically improbable things like Noah’s Ark, Big Foot, and aliens. Of course, they never found anything, but Nimoy hosting it in dramatic voice-overs held me spell bound to the TV. As a child, I loved that sort of thing.

We need a new show like that now. We can call it, “In Search Of Republican Brains” because, like the original show, nothing will come as a result of the search. 🙂

Such a show might find a few brains here and there, but I doubt it would find any Republican hearts.
