I am without words at the moment. Nimoy, in the character of Spock, was the #1 hero of my childhood. As I grew older I discovered that Leonard Nimoy was also an exemplary human being. I'm going to be bummed about this for a while.
-
:'( damn just damn....
RIP Mr. Nimoy.
-
Well this sucks.
-
Wow. He was my favorite of the TOS cast, and by all accounts a great person.
-
Rest in peace, Spock.
-
Oh no. RIP.
-
I am so sad about this.

His death makes me incredibly sad. My mother named me after him. I grew up watching Star Trek, admiring him. He played a fantastic character, but was also a fantastic person. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace T'Khar Spock
Till we meet again in the place where no shadows fall.
Farewell Mr. Nimoy

Here's to DeForest Kelley, James Doohan & Leonard Nimoy.

I can honestly say that he created a character that will give him a certain degree of immortality. Spock was the character that made pop culture aliens something other than green men from Mars with the Evil Plan (tm). The man himself was, from all accounts, always friendly and accessible, something so different from many talented performers.
Climb the steps of Mt Seleya, old friend.

Your attention please
I know that this is not Babylon 5 related, but I felt sure that you here would like to be appraised of the following announcement by that paragon of illogical behaviour, the Westboro Baptist Church.
Please feel free to distribute this information in order that such a disrespectful action may be dealt with in the appropriate manner

He was Jewish, that's probably enough to stir those anti-Christians into fury.
-
Indeed.
-
Set phasers to disintegrate.
"Dammit, Jim, he's dead." :(
-

Not necessarily. He was a famous person, and the WBC doesn't get enough attention these days (I remember their funeral-pickets were shocking way back in, oh, 2006? But not so much anymore...), so of course they'll put out a press release. Probably won't actually bother showing up, though.

Nimoy wrote a letter to a biracial teenager in the 60's.

Oh hell no... those jackasses! Lets hope the people in the town where Nimoy's service is being held come out in force to counter this.
-
Don't quote me on it, but I have heard a rumor that they cancelled their protest simply because they couldn't find out where the funeral was being held.
-
Yeah, there's no public memorial service, just a private service for family and close friends, and they're keeping the location secret. Can't say that I blame them.
I am hoping that Boston organizes some kind of public memorial for Nimoy, since he is a native Bostonian. There are a lot of people in Boston who would love to have a couple of words with the WBC protesters. Those words being "FUCK YOU!"
