Many celebrities have come and gone in the past few years, but this is one of the first where I feel real sorrow upon hearing that one of them has beamed up into the great beyond.
The world is a little less bright without your light, Mr. Nimoy. RIP. :(

Star Wars won't be the same without him. :(

A hearty :golfclap: for Kolya.
He was an icon, and a big part of my childhood, so I'm sad to se him go, but at 83 he wasn't exactly a spring chicken.

Hoped this thread was not about to tell me what the title sounded like - but even Google confirms.
:(
I remember noting to myself, while watching Fringe, that he looked like half-dead ... seems i was not far off. What has he been doing lately? Any known projects cut short?

My first memory of any TV show ever had Nimoy as a young lawyer defending a robot accused of murder on an episode of Outer Limits called "I, Robot". It preceeded Asimovs version but was itself the progeny of the Adam Link stories published in Amazing Stories magazine of the late 30's which I collect. Nimoy lost the case in an homage to Frankenstein mob type fear but was proven right in the end as the robot, being led away in chains, broke free and obeyed it's prime directive by saving the life of a young girl while giving it's own to an oncoming truck.
That was years before Star Trek and it won't mean a thing to anyone else but I remembered every detail of the show and I must have been about 3 or 4. One of the reasons I read Bradbury, Asimov, Clarke, Poulson, Matheson, Bloch, Pohl, Herbert, Bester, King, and dozens of others is because my imagination was kindled by such shows. I will miss him for his roles as Spock and Bellie and for being a part of my love of science fiction in general. My brother used to call me Spock in a derogatory way because I insisted everything had a logical reason for being. It did and I never took being called "Spock" as a perjorative. Spock was right. Goodnight Mr. Nimoy.

The Star Trek reruns will keep Spock and Nimoy alive for many years into the future.
R.I.P.
