I hate to see some of my favorite actors from when I was a kid pass on. My kids, who have probably never seen an original episode of Star Trek know what "putting the Spock on them" is thanks to....well....me!

Really got to me when Scotty died. Now that Spock is gone, an Era is coming to an end.

"Is it possible that we two, you and I, have grown so old and so inflexible that we have outlived our usefulness (and shet)?" - Spock, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

Take your rest, Spock. Second star to the right and straight on till morning...

But it was cool (and imminently logical) when that Space Shuttle crew interned Gene Roddenberry's ashes in space.

Heard on the radio that Spock almost didn't make it past Star Trek's first season. Seems there were some who though tbe pointed ears might have been too much for small children to cope with.
I'm glad more sensible heads prevailed. Mention Star Trek, and who pops to mind, most of the time?

RIP - SPOCK
