Wow. This is huge. This is probably the biggest blow the entertainment world has taken sense music lost Elvis. Talk about luminaries.

 

My Mom is gonna be heart-broken.

 

Best wishes to his family, friends and fans.

 

My thoughts exactly, mako. My mom's probably the reason I'm such a fan today, and Spock was her hero. She told me she would watch it every night it came on back when she was in high school. My mom and dad took us to see all of the original films every time they came out, all except for parts V and VI, and even then my friends and I had to make it a point to go see The Undiscovered Country. And when the new films came out, who was right there watching with me in the theater? My mom, of course.

 

Mr. Nimoy was such a prominent figure for me growing up, and even beyond into my adulthood as a fan of all things Star Trek and just pop-culture in general. He will truly be missed. And I usually don't care for Seth Macfarlane at all, but in his tribute on Twitter he said, as part of his statement, "Someone find the Genesis planet!" I thought that was such a sweet and fitting sentiment. I never got to meet him like I wanted, but if I did, I would have thanked him for all of the enjoyment and great memories he helped me to make with my parents, and for all of the fun I've had over the years enjoying his work. It feels like losing a family member, to be quite honest. Thank you, Mr. Nimoy. May your spirit and legacy live long and prosper.

So sad, I could not believe this. I did not watch the original Star Trek series growing up, but Enterprise, but my hubby had me watch the original. I loved his character and enjoyed seeing him again in the new Star Trek movie. I Can't believe he is gone. He seemed too young!

Nimoy was awesome, period. i was never a trekkie, but his spock character transcended the nerd realm and made others who were not into sci fi take note. he will be missed.
