Leonard Nimoy Passes Away

Someone on another Star Trek site said it best: "In playing an alien, you showed us the best of humanity." Thank you, Mr. Nimoy, for the pleasure you've given us, the lessons you've taught us, and the example you've set for us. What you've given us is immeasurable and incomparable.
Spock: "Being split in two halves is no theory with me, Doctor. I have a human half, you see, as well as an alien half, submerged, constantly at war with each other. Personal experience, Doctor. I survive it because my intelligence wins out over both, makes them live together. Your intelligence would enable you to survive as well."
I took these words of Mr. Spock's to heart, and they helped me get through.
Tohidu, Mr. Nimoy. Good Peace of body, mind and Spirit to you and all your relations.

It takes a particular kind of acting talent, not to mention a particular level of professionalism and care, to take a character whose entire personality is built around not showing emotion ... and then convey that character's emotions anyway and make the audience feel for them.
Nimoy did it better than anyone.

Now that made me tear up, similar to when Rik Mayall passed and somebody posted a screen cap of Ade Edmondson staring at the empty spot on the bench.
This is the TOS thread. To absent friends. T_T
To absent friends.
The Cage was screened for the first time before NBC execs the first week of February 1965. Far as I'm concerned, he did make it to the 50th anniversary - the one that mattered.
I don't think I've been hit this hard by any death that wasn't either family or colleague. I can only echo what everyone else has already said, and add: Farewell, Leonard - and thank you.
Not much to add...been welling up whenever I have two minutes to think, so I've been keeping myself busy..only now I can type - I think....
Don't believe all the stories - there really was only one person Roddenberry wanted for Spock, the Landau and Kelley stories be damned. No less than Dorothy Fontana has always said that when, as GR's secretary, she first saw the first pitch he had written for Trek, she asked, "Who's going to play Spock", and Rodenberry reminded her of the guy who had been on The Lieutenant as the Hollywood director named Nimoy.
There literally has NEVER been Star Trek without Leonard Nimoy. Roddenberry absolutely knew that he was THE important cog, and FOUGHT for him for WNMHGB. After the first season when Nimoy wanted a new contract, and they were actually contemplating replacing him....until they came to their senses an negotiated a new deal. Even Nimoy came to realize it, when working on TWOK, and started to enjoy it again, and they had to somehow make Spock live again, after filming his death scene.
And now he is gone from this realm.
This world has been a better place for his presence, and we are poorer for our loss....

Yes. This is a cold and sobering fact about all those who inspired us.
Re: Leonard Nimoy has died
Perfect Post, Squiggy Thank you.
Indeed, The Final Frontier.
He lived long, and prospered.

RIP Mr. Nimoy. 
We all knew the day was coming sooner rather than later. You've left an awesome legacy.

Knew when he was taken to the hospital that the news wasn't going to be good, I had just ran one of his first films ( 1954's THEM! in which he plays a minor role) and realized just how much work he'd done over his long career. Now this, though not unexpected, still hurts. The character of Spock spoke to me as no other in my childhood (and I saw the first airing back in 1966) and a LOT of Nimoy was in Spock.
Simply a class act...
Requiescat in pace Mr. Nimoy, you will be mourned and celebrated and your work will live on, far after your passing.

Rest in Peace, Leonard --- Thank You for that you have done for all of us......You will be missed.
R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy
A wise man once said of another man who was about to have a shortened life and who'd decided to devote the rest of it to improving the human condition, 'On that day, I shall mourn.' Now, the actor who played that wise man is himself gone-and today, I'm mourning him.
May the light be with you always, Leonard, and with us.

Was so sad to hear this today. He may be gone but we'll always have him in our memories & onscreen.
Here's his first starring role.. 1952s "Kid Monk Baroni"
