Leonard Nimoy dead

was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Obviously I loved Star Trek but In Search Of was a great one too.

lots of major carriers are picking up the story now. And they are reporting that Nimoy's rep confirmed the news

You were a legend to all the Trekkies out there.

.

Of all the souls I've encountered on my travels, his was the most... human.

Now I want to hear 'Amazing Grace' on bagpipes

Mr. Spock

Besides acting, directed a few of the Star Trek films and Three Men and a Baby, among others.


And of course sang the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Iconic is a great word. Goodbye, Leonard. Thank you for so many great memories.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.

.

I heard that he had to go to the hospital the other day but I was hoping for the best. RIP

2) I hope this doesn't open the door for the Anti-Semite Spock to return.

3) RIP

but Spock will always be with us.

I will spend a few minutes thinking about his achievements and then go on with my daily routine.

Though personally I'm not sad, I am sure his friends and family are. Acknowledged.

Can't say I'll miss him. I didn't know him and don't ever think about him. Him dying probably won't increase either likelihood.

Thanks for the info.

.

Perfect example of why people don't need to verbalize every asinine thought that comes into their head

The man died. Have some respect

in an RIP: XXXX thread always makes me chuckle

As if we knew the person or as if anyone of his family will read this.

Seriously, though, I didn't know he directed Three Men and a Baby - the apex of Steve Guttenberg's career!

I did, however, know about The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Heh.

Rough day.

The extra X was for a double dose of that X rated pimpin

...

"Leonard Nimoy dead" So matter-of-factly lol

his most famous character would have reacted to the news.

Kudos.

I think he probably would have just said "Fascinating."

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

Unless, your post was in jest, in which case, joke's on me.

Either way, sad news, he certainly played one of the most memorable and enduring characters of our generation

Anytime a person on TV or movies passes away, it reminds me how close we all are to the hereafter.

RIP Mr. Spock

Damn. Stay away from the newspaper! There's a whole section that will remind you of that.

that yesterday out of nowhere I had a thought of him dying. Where did that come from? Spooky.

RIP Leonard. I enjoyed your work as Spock and in other roles too.

or the one.

he was a great actor and personality. We will miss you Leonard. R.I.P.

He was a Legend and will be missed. RIP

Very sad day. I appreciated his sense of humor which came out in the movies he directed.

when Matt Decker died in "The Doomsday Machine". Clearly he knew the right thing to say in these instances.

RIP

after he went into the hospital with severe chest pains on Monday. Sounded like he wasn't doing well. Still sad news. RIP Mr. Nimoy!

He's been in the news for having been ill and hospitalized.

Bitter dregs.
Bitter dregs.

"In Search of"

RIP

A true acting legend.

for Heaven's sake !

Guess what - a lot fewer people will care about your death.

But maybe someone will make light of it.

expect to miss more. Star Trek has just been a constant in my life since I watched the original first run TV broadcasts. I guess he won't be a guest star in any future Star Trek films.

Some of my favorite quotes:

"They do not sow, nor do they reap, yet they seem to eat a great deal." The Trouble with Tribbles

Dr. McCoy: "You deliberately stopped me, Jim. I could have saved her. Do you know what you just did?

Spock: He knows, Doctor. He knows."

"Captain, you're asking me to work with equipment which is hardly very far ahead of stone knives and bearskins."

City on the Edge of Forever


"It may be the last action you'll ever take, Mister Spock, but it was all human."
"Totally illogical. There was no chance."
"That's exactly what I mean."

Capt. Kirk: "You're not going to admit that for the first time in your life you committed a purely human, emotional act?"

Spock: "No, sir."
Capt. Kirk: "Mr. Spock, you're a stubborn man."
Spock: "Yes, sir."

The Galileo Seven

A decade ago I would have been able to roll off a dozen favorite quotes right away. No more.

Will be missed by many, damn how time flies?
