Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I think this one hits me because he was a favorite of mine watching Star Trek growing up and I hadn't realized that he was even sick until the news broke a couple of days ago. So to me it just seems sudden but he was older and I guess looking back he has had some issues.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I just found out that he and Shatner were born four days apart. Shatner's older by four days!

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Hope people don't take this the wrong way, but given how he looked and sounded quite often on Fringe, I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. I remember saying to a friend (when discussing the episode that aired the night before) while I love that they got him to be part if the cast, I hoped that he didn't get worse and have to be suddenly written out.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Shatner endures.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

because he was younger.
let's see in 4 days.

Spock was probably the most beloved fictional character that there was in my childhood. Even watching the original series now I'm still amazed at Mr. Nimoy's true brilliance in the role. He was one of a kind and a genuinely good gentleman.

RIP Leonard Nimoy :rip:

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

You have been and always shall be one of my favorites. Live long and prosper.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I was wondering what the "LLAP" stood for on Twitter and then I realized it stands for "Live Long And Prosper"

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Also in one of the better known OUTER LIMITS episodes I, ROBOT. AIP cheapie THE BRAIN EATERS and Republic serial ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE.

Now that I think about. I believe the newer OUTER LIMITS series remade the episode, also with Nimoy in a different role.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I just found out. :(

:rip:

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I have a feeling Shatner's going to outlive the entire original cast. The guy is 83 (almost 84) going on 60.

There better be a "Dedicated to Leonard Nimoy" on the front of STAR TREK 3 next summer.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Shatner is going to be the last man standing.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Takei will be the last one. He'll live to like 110.

He had a brief appearance in the classic '50 sci-fi Them!

RIP Leonard Nimoy.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Hopefully, he'll be mentioned at next year's Oscars as well as this year's Emmys.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Don't forget Invasion of the Body Snatchers :)

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Such a great eloquent and unique actor. Something about his uniqueness that was always striking on film. He was awesome in Columbo, you can always see the badass behind those eyes.

RIP :rip:

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Yeah admittedly he did look his age towards the end but I guess I didn't realize he was in poor health. You could even tell back in the Abrams reboot film that he didn't seem to have quite the same energy (yet still gave a really good performance).

Off topic but it amazes me how good Shatner looks at his age. He's pretty much the same age as Nimoy was and honestly he looks fricken fantastic. If I didn't know I'd say he was more in his sixties or seventies personally.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I was just gonna say. He was perfect in this. RIP to a good man.

This was the episode when they beamed down to that pot planet. It was a good one.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I saw that episode of "The Man from Uncle" on TV last month and it surprised the heck out of me. Nimoy was the henchman. The villain was Werner Klemperer.

Agreed. :(

I have been - and always shall be - your fan.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Sad, but not shocked. He was in really bad shape in recent years, especially on Fringe.

It's freaking amazing the difference between him and Bill Shatner and they're both the same age. Shatner has the energy of a 50-60 year old. Shatner is still working at 83. He has a major part in the 2nd half of the 5th season of Haven.

Still pretty amazing that Nimoy worked into his 80's. He was supposedly quitting acting for good after his arc on Fringe, but did a few more things including Into Darkness.

RIP, I hope he, DeForest and Jimmy Doohan are reunited in the afterlife.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I can still remember vividly the first time seeing Star Trek. We were visiting family that actually had a color TV. We didn't watch the show but they put it on telling my dad "you have to see this show" All those colors were amazing. Wish I could remember the episode. After that my parents let me stay up to watch it but it definitely wasn't as good in B&W. I really got into it when it started playing every day after school in the 70's. Like most kids Spock was my favorite character; he was smart, strong and didn't stop to bang every green bitch that came along like Kirk did.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

The track "Spock Thoughts" from one of Leonard Nimoy's old music album in which he recites "Desiderata" by Max Ehrmann is getting a lot of play

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

One of my favorite things he's done is as the narrator in the Dreamcast game Seaman. He'd gove you a rundown of what's happening with the creatures each time you start up the game. "Welcome to the laboratory of Jean-Paul Gasse..."

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

Never played that one, but in a similar role, he is the voice of Civilization IV. His reading of the many famous quotes used in the game is pure gold.

Re: RIP Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
 

I think I know what his entry to Heaven was like.

* Leonard Nimoy walks up to the last king of Heaven

King of Heaven: "Who dare disturbs my coronation?"

Leondard Nimoy: "Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy. Here's a hint!"

* Leonard Nimoy transforms into artillery and disintegrates the last King of Heaven

Angels: "What did he say his name was?"

Leonard Nimoy: "Leonard Nimoy"

Angels: "All hail Leonard Nimoy! Leonard Nimoy!"

* Leonard Nimoy grabs a flaming sword. He looks down.

Leonard Nimoy: "Lucifer, with this I shall make you my slave."

Leonard Nimoy commences to lead an attack on Hell. Eventually he gets to the heart of the capital city of Pandemonium, storms the palace, and confronts Lucifer on his throne. He readies the sword.

Leonard Nimoy: "First Baal, then Beelzebub, and now you. It's a pity you demons die so easily. Or else I might have had a sense of satisfaction. I will crush you just like Megatron crushed Prime!"

(I know most people know him as Spock but to me, he was Galvatron).

Just came here to say...
 

:rip:Exactly!
