R.I.P leonard nimoy
what can i say that hasn't been said better by others. the man basically invented the most of what became the vlucan culture. and outside of his trek acting work, he starred in one of the best colombo installments in the '70s, a stitch in crime .
one of the higlights of dragon-con (and possibly my life) in '09 was the the panel he did with shatner. if i recall, it was the first thing my brother & i went to and that alone was nearly worth the price of admission.
you will be missed sir.
ETA: reading what others have said about nimoy & deforest kelly meting up on the other side reminded me of a story i read after kelly passed on in 1999.
near the end he told a friend that he had a dream that he went to heaven & met with gene roddenberry. he was trying to start a trek production up there. shakespeare was going to write it, cecil b demille was going to direct & michelangelo was doing the sets. they were just waiting for kelly before they got started. i think the quality of the production will improve now that mr. nimoy is there.
