There’s no Star Trek like the original Trek. Good old days. R.I.P. Mr. Spock.

Loved those shows.

RIP

[Padraig]

The science fiction show that split the infinitive.

[Nick Armstrong]

Loved those shows.

RIP

Me too.

His character was a substantial feature of my childhood. And he was recently much-appreciated here in the rôle of the mysterious Dr William Bell in the series Fringe

The original series of Star Trek (currently airing daily in remastered form on the CBS Action channel on Freeview) was frequently very good, and sometimes very amusingly-written... esp the love-hate relationship between Spock and "Bones"... e.g.



Dr 'Bones' McCoy: Permission to speak freely, sir?

Spock: I welcome it.

Dr 'Bones' McCoy: Do you? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: "If you're gonna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prize stallion in the stable."

Spock: A curious metaphor, doctor, as a stallion must first be broken before it can reach its potential.

Dr 'Bones' McCoy: My God, man, you could at least act like it was a hard decision.

Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise. Excuse me.

Dr 'Bones' McCoy: [as Spock leaves] Green-blooded hobgoblin.

I don't recall that exchange, but a lovely quote, Cals.

Leonard Nimoy created one of the truly great and lasting TV characters...so sad to see him go!

[BBMmk2]

It's all quite illogical, life?

[pastoralguy]

Thanks for the memories, Mr. Nimoy.

[cheesehoven]

I am genuinely saddened to see him go. Guess I hoped he'd live as long as his Vulcan counterpart.
RIP
Mr Nimoy.
