to ask you all to take a minute for a great man

Just to say Live Long and Prosper to Leonard Nimoy who was a science fiction legend and who has now passed away

We are so sad in the Livelong household. Whenever Leonard had passed it would always have been too soon.

DH and I are ~54 so we both grew up with ST - and now DD is growing up with an accumulation of box sets.

RIP.

I'd never heard of Fringe, is it good?

:( :(

I'm so sad.

Never heard of the man
Always sad to lose someone you admired though

Maybe I am a bit crackers but loved the original series and Leonard Nimoy was a dish, a talented stage actor and an amazing photographer. Hope to meet him when I get beamed up.

He was also in the 1970s remake of The Bodysnatchers.

Odd to find myself saddened: illogical.

A great role: played with individuality & panache & if you're about 50 you'll know that being Spock in the playground was soooo much better than being Capt. Kirk.

NASA, JPL, ESA, the White House and various astronauts have all tweeted tributes so I'm guessing that he must have inspired someone out there?
Let's hope the naysayers have done the same.

Bet E4 show the Big Bang theory episode with the Leonard Nimoy napkin again very soon.

My 19 year old daughter is a big fan of the original Star Trek series, wanting (and getting) the boxed set last Christmas as her main present.

She was a Twitter follower of Nimoy and Shatner and found both of them great entertainment. Seems they are cool for another generation too. Some of those clips shown on the news tonight were classic and hilarious.

I was surprised at how emotional I got over his passing. He was a good man and a very talented one. Many of my generation's scientists and space explorers were inspired by Star Trek and by Mr Spock.

Live Long and Prosper, Leonard Nimoy. Today you have boldly gone where we cannot follow you.

Leonard: I am, and always shall be, your fan.
