Leonard Nimoy has passed

Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.

He's dead Jim.

That sucks. I was never a big Star Trek fan, but yeah, that sucks.

Beam Me Up Scotty.

Exploring the Final Frontier! R.I.P. Spock!

He really played an iconic role. Seemed like a really decent guy as well.

Sad day. Mr. Spock was an intriguing character.

Prosper

I have to admit it. I feel much more sadness over this than the death of many family members. RIP Mr. Nimoy.

Hopefully , now he'll know about all those things he was "in search of..."

RIP Mr. Nimoy.

my kinda peace sign.....what a great conceptual series....he was easily my fave (even though I write like Shatner)

RIP Vulcan!

Like everyone else back then, I watched the re-runs over and over and over in the 70's. Never got tired of them.

The chemistry between Spock, Kirk, and the rest of the crew was really remarkable.

I watched repeats when I was little boy. I really loved the original series... Sad day for me.

Roddenberry assembled a great ensemble cast.
I watched the original shows as a kid in the late 60s. It really was the first TV program that I got hooked on. Ill admit it. I was very close to being a Trekkie. My mother made all her clothes back then on a sewing machine. She made me a custom Star Trek shirt to wear on Halloween one year and I went as Kirk. Still have some pictures of it somewhere.

spock relative to kirk has defined how I develop relationships at every level...I started breathing in '65....

it was a different version of sawyer and finn....and I'm a huge Clemens fan....

in scope, the premise is iconic/ironic in compare/contrast relative to time....

it's cool to me.....so many different ways to write......

RIP. Sad day indeed. One of the all time truly iconic television/movie characters IMO.

How many of you knew Leonard put out some albums in his day?

Studio albums:
Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space
Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy
The Way I Feel
The Touch of Leonard Nimoy
The New World of Leonard Nimoy

I'm sure Sheldon (UH alumnus) is crushed.

It's so strange.....I can only do that with my left hand....I'm dominant right-handed and dominant left-footed....

I just tried again....it still only work from the left...

Leonard Nimoy On The Secret Jewish Origins Of Spock





Do you think Obama knew about the Jewish blessing when he made this pic?

Quote:Spock may have been half-human and half-Vulcan, but Leonard Nimoy was all Jew. His parents were Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, and they raised him in the Orthodox tradition — and that meant regular visits to his local synagogue in the Boston area.

When he was a boy, he had a particularly profound experience during one such visit: At a point in the service when he was supposed to cover his eyes, he peeked out and saw some men performing a prayer that included a hand gesture that is familiar to geeks everywhere as the Vulcan Salute.

A few years ago, Nimoy recounted the whole story to the Wexler Oral History project, and it’s well worth a watch. We’re saying a mourner’s kaddish for you, Leonard.
