Very sad. May he rest in peace.

He lived long, and prospered.

"... yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most ... human."

- James T Kirk

 

RIP to a man that could do so much more than just be Spock, but will forever be remembered with great affection as Spock.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

RIP Leonard Nimoy.

"When it came to the attention of the cast that there was a disparity in pay in that George and I were getting the same pay but Nichelle was not getting as much, I took it to Leonard and he took it to the front office and they corrected that.

You could count on Leonard for that kind of thing."

-Walter Koenig.

 

The man had so much class.

Such a legend. I remember him as the host on In Search of..., and playing the role of Paris in Mission: Impossible. More recently he guested on Fringe. Of course Mr. Spock is who I'll remember him most as.

I like this interview with Leonard Nimoy and Pharrell Williams.

Of course we never knew the real Leonard Nimoy but he as Mr. Spock (and not forgetting James Doohan as Scotty) had a huge influence on the lives of my family. My kids and husband went into various branches of Engineering because of the positive role of Mr. Spock. He had many roles but I would like to remember Leonard Nimoy/Mr. Spock as an educator and a positive force for good.

Sheldon better shed a tear, or I'm refusing to watch the Big Bang theory from now on.

 

Ok ok I'll pretend to refuse to watch,

I liked this one!

 

[WDave 122]

Nice find, Tor!

 

I'll bet when Big Bang Theory does address it (albeit a season later), it will be with a reference to rock-paper-scissors-lizard-...
