RIP Leonard Nimoy

I just heard the sad news that we've lost Mr. Spock!
Although it's rather un-Vulcan, I do feel emotional about this - he was the ULTIMATE "straight man" to Captain Kirk, and was a huge part of what made Star Trek the iconic series it was.
To say he'll be missed is an understatement, but - of course - in so many ways he will always live on.

Just started watching Star Trek: The Original Series for the first time at the end of last year and am still going through it (I'm at the beginning of Season 2 currently). Spock's character is always a highlight of each episode. As April said, he's the perfect straight man to Captain Kirk.
May you live long and prosper in Heaven, Mr. Spock.

Ditto!
Nimoy joined the cast of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE in the 4th season (as Martin Landau left the series). I recall seeing Nimoy's eyebrow 'tick' a few times in MI.
Anyway, he will be missed!

I watched the live-action & the animated version also, & as I recall, only the animated version really delved into Spock's childhood & his status as a social outcast.
BTW, thanks for sharing that article, Cybotron.
