“I never expected when I got that job and met him that we would forge such a powerful friendship,” Quinto said of the first man to don Spock’s iconic ears. “I love him, his wife. They’re like family to me, 100 percent. Like second parents, for sure.”

This is a very sad day for all.

I'm sad.

I was one of thsoe who complained about his cameo in Into Darkness, but what it really was, was the current crew trying to work with him as much as they could. At the end of the day for Abrams and Co., that's simple respect for the road he paved, something I didn't quite realize when I voiced those complaints. I'm glad we got to see him on the big screen again.

And now it's become his last appearance on film. We should cherish it.

 

[The Doctor]

What a man. What a career.

I'm probably going to watch Into Darkness this weekend.

 

[Saul]

I'm very grateful that we were able to see him again in STID. It would have been lovely to see him for the next movie too.

 

[Smellmet]

I'm probably going to watch Into Darkness this weekend.

I'm summoning up the courage to watch TWOK this weekend. I must have seen it over 200 times and always tear up at the death /funeral scene.

This time though...

 

[Malaika]

anyone remember when he did this over twitter?

crying.

 

[M'Sharak]

He even got a response from Shatner on the first one.

 

[Franklin]

About a half hour ago, Shatner tweeted he's upset he won't be able to attend Nimoy's funeral because he's in Florida for a Red Cross charity event, tonight. He says he can't do that and get back to California in time for the funeral on Sunday. If he wants to stay, fine, but I hope the Red Cross officials will make it clear to him that if he left, they'd certainly understand. Maybe emotionally he simply can't handle it and is hiding behind the event (I'm saying that in sympathy for how he must feel and understanding that "working through it" may be an easier way for him to handle his grief, right now).

I'm prone to agreeing with your parentheses. I'm chalking it up to Shatner's personal grieving process, plain and simple. It's without a doubt that he's one of the hardest hit by Nimoy's passing, and has nothing to prove about it.

With that said, to a degree I envy Shatner (or any one who's worked with him) because they got to see his work up close and personal; even takes that went wrong that the audience doesn't see would still have Nimoy's work.
