I just saw his death come up on my news feed and yelled "Noooo" across the office... big fan of Nimoy. He'll be missed...
February 27th, 2015 at 12:21 PM ^

One of my favorite quotes "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." RIP

'sometimes, the needs of the few, or the one, outweigh the needs of the many'.
an iconic actor, did he ever do much beyond star trek?

Funny ... Just a yesterday I was watching an episode of the old "Combat" TV series from the early 60's. Nimoy played an American soldier who was fluent in German, interogating some German prisoners. It would have been about a year before "Star Trek" hit the air.

He was the narrator for "In Search Of" back when I was a kid. I used to love that show.
February 27th, 2015 at 9:02 PM ^
That show used to scare the hell out of me. Something about the music and Nimoy's voice... didn't help that the subject matter was usually something "spooky" or unusual...

One of my favorite shows as a kid: " In Search Of".

Real bummed about this.

"Of all the souls I've encountered in my travels, his was the most......human."
Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy. Actor, director, writer, singer, activist. Your talents will be missed.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
Very apropos.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:36 PM ^
he won't have any more trouble with tribbles
February 27th, 2015 at 12:40 PM ^
too soon
February 27th, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
Why can't we celebrate his life? By all accounts it was awesome and I think all of us would've wanted to do what he did, even for a day. That was one episode that really stood out to me as a kid and I think most people are reminiscing about his life's work.
February 27th, 2015 at 1:03 PM ^
would approve. He supposedly had a great sense of humor.
When someone dies, you can either cry or laugh. I choose the latter.
February 27th, 2015 at 2:22 PM ^
Yeah, but you are Mad.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:57 PM ^
Its no worse than the Abe Vigoda post below...I don't have a problem with either.

For some reason, whenever I hear the name Leonard Nimoy the first thing that comes to mind is that sample of him saying "pure energy" in that song by Information Society.
I wasn't much of a Star Trek fan, but everybody loved Mr. Spock. RIP.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:37 PM ^
While obviously much better know for Spock I actually liked his work on "In search of....." better. He had an awesome voice and could make the search for someone's lost car keys sound dangerous and terribly exciting.
RIP Leonard

I used to get up on Sunday mornings at like 6:30 to catch reruns of In Search Of... on A&E when I was a kid. Love that show.
February 28th, 2015 at 8:39 AM ^
to watch Star Trek reruns at 11:30 pm on channel 3 WKZO/WWMT out of Kalamazoo. That show probably ran for at least 15 if not 20 years during that time slot.
As for In Search Of , I loved that show too. Nimoy was perfect in his role as commentator on the show, and even the most unbelievable subject became mysteriously believable when being described by him.
Rest in Peace, Leonard Nimoy. In his own way, one of the greatest actors of our time.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:45 PM ^
That show was indeed excellent and for some reason scared the living crap out of me as a tyke. RIP
February 27th, 2015 at 6:30 PM ^
The only thing I remember about that show is being scared of it, but still watching it. For some reason that show was frightening. That reason was Nimoy's voice.
Just curious tylawyer, how old are you? I am 44 and was a tyke in the 70s.
February 27th, 2015 at 1:10 PM ^
I remember about the 3rd or 4th grade when "In Search Of" was in its heyday. All the kids would arrive in school the day after its airing and we were all suddenly experts on the Loch Ness Monster or prehistoric alien visits. It was awesome. I saw an episode many years later and it was so bad it hardly made sense.
RIP Leonard.

February 27th, 2015 at 8:54 PM ^
Ha ha ha. It was terrible. But I absolutely loved it as a 10 year old and still do to this day.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:36 PM ^
I got out of a meeting just a few moments ago and heard this news. Very, very bummed right now.
As someone who grew up a huge fan of the "Star Trek" franchise, the character of Spock - in my view - gave the franchise a very significant portion of its overall humanity in some ways despite Spock's appearance. In addition to Trek, let us not forget his numerous television appearances up to and including a stint as a regular on "Mission: Impossible", as well as forays into music and writing.
A very talented man indeed. RIP Leonard Nimoy.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:37 PM ^
Maybe we should bend the time/space continuum in an atempt to bring him back. But seriously, he is already missed.
February 27th, 2015 at 8:56 PM ^
Start up the Genesis Project.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:38 PM ^
seen laughing in the hallway...
February 27th, 2015 at 3:27 PM ^
who is still going strong at 94....

RIP Leonard, he had one of my favorite celebrity guest spots in the Simpsons.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

Between him and Dean Smith, these were truly two titans of the previous generation that we lost in the span of a few weeks. Although I never got into the original series, I was (and remain) a huge fan of Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, neither of which would've existed without Nimoy's work. I don't feel sadness so much as I do gratitude because by all accounts he lived a long and prosperous life, and it was truly a privelege to share this good earth with him for a time.
February 27th, 2015 at 12:47 PM ^
However, he was absolutely incredible in documentaries and voice overs. I would find myself watching a documentary about something I had absolutely no interest in - just to hear his voice.
Prosper!
