This is a shock, I didn't know he was unwell, nor how old he was. Me and my friends all grew up with him on Star Trek, and he was in a few good movies, too, like Invasion of teh Body Snatchers (70s version) and an adaptation of Huxley's Brave New World. RIP.

(Also, he was the REAL Spock, to quote Sheldon Cooper, "Live long and suck it, Zachary Quinto!")

There's a petition up on change.org to get the IAU to name a star after Leonard Nimoy. I signed without hesitation.

It's a remarkable social fact associated with some kind of mass culture. But ....not as we know it.... Fascinating....

Thank you, Mr. Nimoy, for being a part of my entire life, from childhood even until now. You will be missed. Live long and prosper.

William Shatner, two days before Leonard Nimoy's death, spoke to CNN about Nimoy and his colleague's creation and development of Spock as a character. It's a moving and fitting tribute to a Star Trek legend.

Shatner spoke there as if Nimoy had already passed. If that was actually 2 days before he died then Shatner must've been convinced he wasn't going to make it.
