Ok...NOW I am REALLY sad!

(first I find out I'm gonna be moving out of the house I lived in for 21 years, and now THIS!)

[pxi]

That's a genuine pity. Probably one of sci-fi's most beloved actors.

Good thing Sheldon got that napkin from Penny for Saturnalia.

Where's a Genesis planet when you need one

Some tweets about him:

Nathan Fillion: "I have been, and always shall be, your fan."

Jonathan Frakes: "RIP to the best First Officer."

Chris Hadfield: "Leonard, you lived long and prospered, and were an inspiration to me and to millions. Rest in peace."

Wil Wheaton: "We stood on your shoulders, and wouldn’t have had a galaxy to explore if you hadn’t been there, first. Thank you, Leonard, Rest in peace."

And his own last tweet, somewhat haunting: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory."

The world is a little worse off today, but it's a much better world for having had Leonard Nimoy in it.

rest in peace, may your soul find its place among the stars.

You will be missed... I still watch something Star Trek every week or so... This will make me watch it all over again.

Edit: Just noticed someone posted this 3 mins ago.. in the proper place on the forums... sorry for breaking the rules!

I just got the news 10 minutes ago from CNN on my iPad... Sad day indeed. *bows head and does the Vulcan salute*

RIP-Spock

[SuperWeegee4000]

We all know these things will happen eventually, but it doesn't make it any easier.

A sad day for all Star Trek fans, RIP Leonard.

[mordin86]

Live long and prosper wherever you are now Mr. Spock. Very sad day for all SF fans.

I was so heartbroken when I heard he had passed... May he rest in peace. He will never be forgotten.

[gmpd2000]

Don't make me cry again.

RIP Leonard Nimoy.

[Resender]

I met him once

He will be remembered,today the Enterprise feels empty

RIP Leonard Nimoy

[Tex_NL]

I met him once

...

You met him? You actually changed words with him? Then I envy you.

If you just saw him on stage at some convention I am not impressed.

But to quote Natan Filion's tweet: "I have been, and always shall be, your fan."

[LordFerret]

End of an era. Very sad. Didn't realize he was that sick... terrible way to go. He was an amazing person, and he genuinely enjoyed and appreciated his role as Spock (unlike Bill Shatner) - the love and adoration it brought him by his many fans. RIP. Godspeed.

[remlap]

as someone who was raised on scifi, especially Star Trek, i feel a part of my childhood has just died. I am certain he will be missed and my condolences go to his family

[StrandedonEarth]

Farewell Spock. I hope some of your ashes join Scotty's where they belong: in space

[Cairan]

His last Twitter entry ever is so fitting:

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP [ Live Long And Prosper ]

I propose to HarvesteR and the team to include an easter egg memorial somewhere on Laythe, like they did for Armstrong...

How about a photon torpedo casing like in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock?

[Tex_NL]

The TOS cast is growing thinner by the year:

RIP:

Gene Roddenberry 1991 (70)

DeForest Kelley 1999 (79)

James Doohan 2005 (85)

Majel Barrett 2008 (76)

Leonard Nimoy 2015 (83)

Still alive:

William Shatner

Nichelle Nichols

George Takei

Walter Koenig

I second this proposal.

[Brainlord Mesomorph]

The only Spock.

And a fine actor in Yiddish theater, too, (which, I know he'd also liked to be remembered as)

Makes me wonder if my avatar pic seems ... inappropriate .
