A light has gone out in the universe and Spock has left us.

I loved his reprise of his role in the new Star Trek where he says to Zachery Quinto playing a younger Spock: "Since my customary farwell would seem oddly self serving I will simply say, 'Good luck.'"
I thought that was a great farwell to Star Trek fandom.



Since his customary farwell no longer seems appropriate I will simply lift a hand in salute to a giant that inspired me greatly as a youth.

Farwell.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Surprising- Nimoy's father pushed him to study accordian instead of acting!

Oh, hey. Thought there would have been more posts in here about this by now. His last post on Twitter is a very profound statement.
"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory." - Leonard Nimoy

His katra will live on within us all.
In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I high school I tried for a time to be emotionless like Spock and that taught me great self control at an important age.  I am sad to be without him and happy for the life he lead.

No more of those great comparison (new/old) commercials.

He will be missed for much more than just Spock though..
