Ugh, that picture is like kicking our feels when they're already down. Not even fair. D:

OT: I might have to put everything else I've been watching/playing on hold for a while to watch Star Trek: TOS again. That franchise is one of the biggest reasons I enjoy science fiction, and it was in no small part thanks to all of the characters and actors.

He was fantastic as Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts, I guess they'll have to recast the role for KH3, which is sad.

 

[Neverhoodian]

I don't even like Kirk-era Trek and I'm still bummed out. Just goes to show how much of an impact he made on sci-fi and nerd culture.

Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy.

Has been and always will be...

An icon has passed away. Sadness much.

 

[Kanova]

Meh, I never really watched anything with him in it.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

He will be missed. A good man has passed and a cultural icon of a character fades into history with him.

 

[Padwolf]

The only blue and gold that matters today

Its not easy being a cultural icon but Mr Nimoy you will be missed.

Oh damn the feels!

This really took me for a turn. He shall be greatly missed. Some of my fondest memories are watching Star Trek Original Series with my mum and dad and a bowl of popcorn with some coke. Such a fantastic actor. May he Rest in Peace.

I'm genuinely surprised that he was outlived by Shatner considering he always seemed like the healthier of the two.

I know, right? I just saw another Priceline commercial with Shatner having to rise from being slightly bent at the waist, an effort which make him finish the shot with his mouth open and him hoping we don't notice it's him panting for breath, and it's hard for me to credit that Shatner was the healthier of the two.

Well, never mind, it doesn't matter now. Farewell to Mr. Nimoy, whose rest I hope is a comfort to him, and much love to his friends and family.

A black day for us all. I wonder just how many people he (and the rest of the Star Trek cast) inspired and helped feel like there was hope for the world.

I honoured his memory by watching his appearance in Columbo "A Stitch in Crime".
One of the best episodes of Columbo and my first exposure to him outside of Star Trek.

It's a shame we have to lose so many celebrities that we've grown up with. Every since James Avery (Uncle Phil) passed on it feels like we lose another beloved actor from my upbringing every month.

That's reality I suppose.
Best wishes to his family and friends.

RIP Mr Nimoy, you will be missed but always remembered.

You had a good life Leonard Nimoy

The entire sci-fi community has taken a big hit, right in the feels. This was posted on the 501st Legions facebook page yesterday....

Oh, you son of a b. That is so not fair.

.

I grew up on Trek. Both my parents watched TOS in the '60s, and when they grew up and had me in the late '80s, right when TNG debuted, Star Trek became the cornerstone of my childhood. You are never ready for when this happens. I can't even fully feel this, but I know it is a tragedy for that little kid I sometimes still am.

I heard late last night, and I responded immediately by watching "Amok Time." A timeless classic, just like Mr. Nimoy.
