MargieH 7,393 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I feel really sad. ... Just today, I'd been trying to get the grandkids to do the famous hand sign- "live long and prosper" then saw account of his death on TV 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,937 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Must be one of the most recognisable faces of any actor from any era. RIP Spock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,002 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Farewell Mr Leonard Nimoy and R.I.P. Always used to associate Spock with a tyre repair process back in the 60s...Vulcanising patches...anybody remember these...fixed everything from bike to truck inner tubes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTramp 139 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Another landmark gone. Brilliant actor, Spock was a wonderful special creation of Leonard's, a loveable half human,? takes some doing. I liked him-- both 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

firbeck 859 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thankfully you can watch him every day still on CBS Action in remastered episodes of Star Trek, good old Spock, saved the day nearly every time, if he hadn't been around the Enterprise would have been lost very early in it's voyages to ' Seek Out New Worlds', Kirk was such a pratt, had he been around later instead of Picard, Worff would have ripped his lungs out without hesitation. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,735 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Only ever watched the original Star Treks with Spock and Kirk. They were the best. I always find the follow ons with new characters tend to lose some of the essence of the original as they try to bring the storyline up to date. RIP Leonard Nimoy/Spock......one of my favourite characters of the 70's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,937 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thankfully you can watch him every day still on CBS Action in remastered episodes of Star Trek, I've been watching some of those. I used to think they were really good but my memory has been slightly spoiled. Every week they landed on a planet which looked exactly the same as last weeks planet; the control panels on the Enterprise consist of a few flashing lights and half a dozen big push-buttons. And the inhabitants of distant galaxies always dressed like roman senators. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,393 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I suppose we've been spoilt by the amazing special effects in today's films? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Never been a fan of Startrek. More of a Star Wars fan myself. But still sad at his passing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
don walker 122 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 am I right in saying that Nimoy and kirk (can,t remember his real name) hated each others guts, from what I read kirk was always jockeying for the best lines and scenes, and he was a hard man to work with.

FLY2 10,106 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've never got on with science fiction. Gimme westerns any day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 RIP Leonard Nimoy/Spock wonder what they will do with his ears? Well, hopefully they'll leave Leonard's in place? Spock's ears probably went back in the basket in the props room eons ago. Never been a Trekkie myself, like basfordred said, can't beat a good Western 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

annswabey 599 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I can't stand Science Fiction although sad to hear that he's died. I thought Science fiction was a "man thing" as well! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,393 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 What genre of book/film do you prefer, Ann? I suppose it's 'each to their own' really. I do like lots of other things, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Not really too interested in films, to be honest. I read all sorts of stuff, though - prefer fairly modern literature. Can't stand historical or romantic novels. Like biographies and autobiographies too and anything to do with travel and history (factual). Love maps as well. Favourite writers, I suppose, would be Margaret Attwood, Margaret Forster, Peter Carey. Can't travel anywhere without a book! What sort of things do you like, Margie? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
