Spock is dead (Leonard Nimoy, 1931 - 2015)

Postby L Ron Cupboard » Fri Feb 27, 2015 10:27 am

Sad news, Leonard Nimoy has died. Funny how 83 doesn't seem as old as it used to, or maybe that is just me.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/ ... 3H20150227

Actor, director, poet, and singer... although the last two are perhaps not going to be a major part of how he is remembered.

Edit: Sorry, L Ron, I clarified the title just a tad bit.

You beat me to it.

Don't bother asking for sources anyone, it's literally all over the internet. Rest in peace, it's so sad he has to go.

Ah man, I saw that he had gone to the hospital for chest pains a few days ago and feared this was coming. He had an amazing run, thanks Mr. Nimoy and goodbye.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Though not a Trekkie, I am a huge fan of other Science Fiction shows/films, I can only imagine what his family and indeed following, are going through. The genre, profession and humanity have lost a great man. Rest In Peace Mr.Spock .
