RIP Leonard Nimoy (1 Viewer)

:(

But hey, Sheldon has Nimoy's DNA so there is hope of a return ;)

Of one of my heroes I can only say this. Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most . . . human.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

LLAP and RIP. Damn, this hits hard.

Actually, this was the first thing I thought of. Won't be long now until the Enterprise crew will be together again. In case anyone hasn't seen this commercial with old Spock and current Spock

Really loved him in everything he did, from Star Trek to Fringe. Even read some of his poetry as a kid. He'll be missed.

 
Nimoy trivia from his IMDB page:

- Opened an exotic pet shop in 1970 after the original Star Trek (1966) series' cancellation.

- His father had a barber shop in Boston, where one of the more popular haircuts given was the "Spock cut".

 
RIP/LLAP, Leonard/Spock

I thought I would be more sad, my favorite show growing up, and he was in another of my favorites, Mission Impossible (In Search Of had its moments, too). But it is hard to feel sad, recognizing what an incredibly rich life he lived. This feels more like a wake to me.

Obits by New York Times and USA Today

He directed arguably the best original cast spinoff movie (IV), as well as Three Men And A Baby. I think he had a great sense of humor which was a side we didn't get to see much of in the series (except for sardonic and droll flashes, usually on the bridge at the summation/conclusion). In IV, it was great how he put the punk rocker with the loud boom box on the bus to sleep. As well as this exchange...

Spock: Admiral, may I ask you a question?

James T. Kirk: Spock, don't call me Admiral. You used to call me Jim. Don't you remember "Jim"? What's your question?

Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall I say, more colorful metaphors-- "Double dumb-### on you" and so forth.

Kirk: You mean the profanity?

Spock: Yes.

Kirk: That's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the period.

Spock: For example?

Kirk: [thinks] Oh, the complete works of Jacqueline Susann, the novels of Harold Robbins....

Spock: Ah... The giants.

He joins Rodenberry, McCoy, Scottie and Nurse Chapel, and is survived by Kirk, Uhura and Chekov.

The last tweet was reminiscent of Peter Sellers quote in Being There, which I didn't think was that profound, but Nimoy made it so with his addition.
