Leonard Nimoy passed away today.

Besides being in Star Trek, he was a photographer as well. I was privileged to be one of those who watched the Star Trek series when it first came out in the 1960's.

"Nimoy had other roles during a long career in TV, film and theater, and directed successful movies, wrote books, composed poetry, published photographs and recorded music."

Oh my, all I need to know about life I learned from Star Trek! I feel kind of old now that my childhood idols start passing away. But it's no surprise, in his recent short appearance on the new Star Trek movies he already looked very much past his prime. Thanks for letting us know.

Btw: Let's not forget Nimoy redeemed the Star Trek universe from Shatner as a singer!

"We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And 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. Rest in Peace, Mr. Spock."

Sad indeed.
My first memory of him were from the TV series of Mission: Impossible, but he will forever be remembered for playing Mr Spock in Star Trek. Didn't know of his interest and skills in photography until about a year ago. Now, the curtain is forever down.

I had heard earlier in the week that he had been rushed to a hospital. In his honor, I decided to watch "The Enterprise Incident", an episode from The Original Series, last night.

I have been a fan of Star Trek my entire life. Mr. Nimoy's passing is, indeed, a sad occasion, but those who appreciated his work, including the character of Mr. Spock, would do well to reflect on the ways that work enriched their lives.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Nimoy.

Thank you Don. Quite appropriate and despite being scripted and watch over and over still hits me hard. I'm sure Shatner feels like he's in Kirks shoes right now.

Leonard did "Live Long and Prosper" but no one lives forever except, perhaps, in our memories.
He will be remembered long after we have gone - RIP to a man who has touched all out lives.

That's the great thing about being an iconic actor: Nemoy will in fact be alive and kicking as Spock for generations to come.

Enjoy Star Trek as much now as I ever did.

As I was scrolling thru the TV channels just now, the ending credits for a old TV show were scrolling by. There he was, Lenoard Nimoy just after Clint Eastwood. It was a rawhide episode, and I wouldn't have paused, except that they were playing the theme song and I hadn't heard it since seeing "The Blues Brothers"

I checked IMDB, and there it was, from 1961. The credits at the end of the show said 1960.

I'd have never noticed. Then, I saw he had small parts in many westerns around that time.
