I raise my glass to the quote: "There are always possibilities." I also raise my glass to a long life well lived. Rest in peace.

The era is ending. What a great mark those men made.

So many people credit that show with their inspiration and ambition over the years.

 

RIP Mr. Spock because in my mind you will live on.

R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy,

 

I remember the very first Star Trek episode I ever saw, The Devil In The Dark, about the Horta, a creature who ate through rock and was attacking a mining installation. I remember it clearly, I was about six years old and ST TOS had just started in re-runs in the early 70s. I remember how cool the show was, and especially how cool Mr. Spock was. I remember admiring the intellect of the character, I was captivated by the "Vulcan Mind-Meld" and I immediately connected with the "logical" Science Officer of Mr. Spock - and I was never the same since. Mr. Spock was an IMMENSE influence on my childhood.

 

I also remember eagerly watching his TV show "In Search Of..." every week in the mid70's - and in fact, the title of my doctoral dissertation included an homage to Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of..." TV show title.

 

And now that I have a son, he's a young teenager who is also entirely captivated by "Mr. Spock", and has absorbed the logical, analytical mindset of the classic Vulcan character. He too is a deeply-hooked fan of all-things-Star-Trek and especially all-things-Spock related.

 

Mr. Nimoy, your contributions to American culture are legendary.

 

Go boldly sir.....

It's not my story to tell, but Rich Henn had a killer autograph meet story about Leonard Nimoy. Maybe he'll pop in here and share.

 

Before he was Spock...

A Black day indeed!

 

So sad. Today we lose a great man but the Legend will Live Long and Prosper
