    Post the IMG Code - the one that looks like this

    Code:
    [IMG]url[/IMG]
    It should show up under the uploaded picture together with the Direct Link, HTML Code and EMAIL&IM. Or if that doesn't work, then select the picture by checking the little square field and click "Generate HTML and IMG code".

    I agree,he was amazing in the movie.I Just love how well he played as Spock,not just in that movie but through out his career.I aslo loved that scene in TWOK where he is in that chamber,and Kirk is on the other side.It was amazing scene as well very sad.That scene showed how true his friendship with Kirk was. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few,or the one" Very intense scene and one of the best.

    Spock embodies the best of TOS for me, and Nimoy was perfect in the role. I admit that it would be interesting to see him in something else, I've only seen him play Spock. Zachary Quinto was the first person to be cast for STXI, partly thanks to a superficial resemblance to Nimoy, a resemblance even Nimoy acknowledges.

    I agree with you. I'm glad Nimoy accepts Quinto to take over the role of Spock.He knows that he left his role of Spock in good hands.Because Quinto was just as amazing as Spock as Nimoy who is the orginal one who poytrayed him.:vulcan: I really loved that scene in between the two Spock's in the movie, it was one of the best scenes in the movie. The older Spock seemed really comfortable and at peace with himself as well very wise. I say more wiser than he had been. I love to see Nimoy's Spock again but its been said that he's not doing it again. And that he is leaving it up to Quinto to carry on the role of Spock from now on into the future. So if Nimoy is not gonna play Spock anymore, what other roles will he be doing?

    Not only do I appreciate Nimoy's work as Spock in the original series, the first six movies, and the TNG two-parter, but I got to sit just four seats away from when he came to Austin last spring for the unoffical premiere of the new movie.

    Four seats away!

    Sure, there were pre-signed posters for wristband folks after the movie, but he also signed my reserved seat sign, the seat that put me four seats away!!!

    He passed on the baton to Quinto which was beautifully done in the movie in my opinion the scene between the two Spock's was great wasn't it?

    It was the best scene I agree.I remmber when I went the Star Trek convetion in Las Vegas last year that when Leonard Nimoy was talking to the croud,out of no where Zachary Quinto and Jacab Hogan appread on stage and surprised Nimoy.Everybody started cheering,it was amazing moment to see all three Spock's up there on the same stage at the same moment.It's one of those moments you may never see again.And I was so glad I was there to see it and experance it.

    A great actor and a true gentleman. Nimoy's got it all. You can't touch him.

    I loved Leonard Nimoy as Spock and still do to this day! In the new Trek movie, he was fantastic and threw the baton onto Quinto's character of Spock, which was brilliantly done, IMO. And I liked the fact he came from the future and was trying to change the events that had occurred in his timeline. I literally gasped when I first saw him in the theater!

    Leonard's comic ability shines here as he discusses logic with Flip Wilson.

    The devil made me do it!
