Goodbye, Mr. Nimoy. You have been and always shall be our friend.
Ever generous, even in his final public message.
Leonard Nimoy has died. To generations of nerds he was the uncle who would remind us to be logical when faced with ignorance, stupidity, meanness.
Apart from playing the original Mr. Spock to perfection he was the host of In Search Of…a TV show that investigated the 1970s obsession with UFOs, the Bermuda Triangle, Sasquatch, the Loch Ness monster, killer bees and other phenomena that we kids assumed would lead to planetary extermination any minute.
Here’s a Spock-centric episode of classic Star Trek: Amok Time, written by Theodore Sturgeon. It’s mating season on Vulcan.
