Spock Warps into Permanent Star Trek Retirement

[Abedeus]

My friend just paid $60 like a few months ago to get a picture with Nimoy. Lucky bastard.

Holy crap $60?! I mean damn. I would understand with Morgan Freeman... but Nimoy?

DELETED

Definitely a deserved retirement and surprised he didn't a while ago to be honest.

 

[Zing]

Damn

I thought there might be a chance we'd see a Big Bang Theory cameo..

 

[Cheesebob]

I'm glad, but Civ won't be the same without him.

Also He was very good in Abram's other project: Fringe.

 

[bjj hero]

Heres hoping we are all lucky enough to be gainfully employed for 60 years straight. He's earned his rest now, time to take up golf or something.

 

[Arkzism]

lol as i read that the funeral scene from wrath of kahn came into my head, goodbye spoc, and mr nimoy i hope your retirement is long and enjoyable

 

[heyheysg]

Wait! He needs to do a Big Bang cameo first

 

[Psychophante]

much appreciation for all your good deeds Mr. Nimoy! There's only one thing to say...

"Live long and prosper"

To be honest, I don't think I'll remember Leonard Nimoy for Spock.

It has to be this.

But he is Spock in that one. Or wait ... is he a hobbit oohh ... my brain

 

[Strategia]

My inner trekkie just exclaimed a very loud Vader-esque NOOOOOOOOO, but I do think the man deserves his peace. He's a terrific actor, one of the great godfathers of nerdhood, and..... well..... I mean, c'mon, he's Spock, the guy is awesome!

And I agree with him on Zachary Quinto. Another great young actor, and he does indeed look the part - and he plays it (or rather, plays the new iteration) very well. Maybe one day it'll be him who passes the character on to somebody else.

 

[Tzen003]

More power to him, he very much deserves it!

And I don't care that other have said it, as a trek fan I have to say it anyway

Live long and prosper!

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Well, fair enough. 60 years is a bloody long time, happy retirement. He's right about Zachary Quinto too, he's a brilliant actor (the single best thing about heroes, which I love anyway).

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

Oh sweet prince, how we shall miss you

[Crow T. Robot]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobs*

"Don't grieve, Trekkies. It is only logical. The wants of the many are outweighed by the needs of the few or the one. I have been and forever shall be your Spock. Live Long...and Prosper."

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Well good for you Mr. Nimoy. You've certainly earned your retirement after giving so much to so many people. I hope you'll still do the odd voice role occasionally like CivIV.
'Live long and prosper'

 

[Johnmw]

I don't even like Star Trek, but I do respect Leonard Nimoy. Massive congratulations for surviving the T.V system for 60 years. Nimoy himself (not just Spock) is a legend!

EDIT:

DAMN I knew it was someone familiar, Mr Nimoy you just got more awesome!
