The Sword and Laser discussion

"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."

Awwww, that's so sad. RIP.

He lived long and prospered. Spock has beamed up to that final frontier.

Ugh. I had forgotten he was sick. Sucks.

So sad. Years ago, when I worked for a Arts magazine, I had a meeting with him about his poetry. It was at his office in an apartment somewhere in L.A. He was running late, and was in the shower when I arrived. He popped out, still wet with a towel around his middle to apologize, before getting dressed. That's all I remember. Don't remember a damn thing about out talk about his poetry. Though I remember assiduously not bringing up "Star Trek" as this was the time when he was trying to escape from it. Well, he didn't -- much to the benefit of all us for whom Star Trek remains a major love of our lives.

:( That's sad.

I think I'm going to have to fire up my old Star Trek Online account so I can be melancholy and listen to him narrate.

OMG! I am SO sad! I just recently watched Star Trek the Original series all because of the new Star Trek movies. Leonard Nimoy's performance was stellar in both. I JUST discovered him. Why? Why?! T_T

He did live long and prosper. What a gracious man. RIP.

RIP, oh logical one. We will miss you.

Scalzi linked a Bruno Mars video that stars Nimoy and it's great

I'm so sad he's gone, but this just made me smile.

I really liked the car commercial that Leonard Nimoy did with Zachary Quinto. He's such a good sport and had such an interesting life. I'm going to miss him so much. T_T

I remember seeing that one! I thought it was super cute.

Would Star Trek have been as cool without Nimoy? I don't think so.
