Starman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Today i have heard such shocking news one of the most recognizable faces in science fiction, one of the most recognizable faces in acting in general, one of the most talented actors I've got the chance to witness has passed away Rest in peace Leonard Nimoy, you've lived a long and prosperous life Leonard Simon Nimoy March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 On a more serious note very sad. He will be missed very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I guess Spock finally beamed up with Scotty and Bones. Thanks for making a part of my childhood memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Anyone else at this point just kinda getting a 'meh' feeling? I think it was after Michael Jackson died, I just started getting number and number to each beloved celebrity that dies. I look at the current 'celebrities' of today, and all I see is Nicki Minaj, the Kardashians, Miley, Bieber, etc. I feel like the era of the greats is over and we no longer have any truly good movie stars. Liam Neeson, maybe. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson? (Spare me). And we're losing all of the best celebrities of the past era bit by bit. Betty White will probably pass soon, and that's gonna reaaaaally suck. We already lost Whitney Houston, MJ, Spock, Richard Attenborough, Robin Williams, Shirley Temple... too many to list here. At this point I'm just making mental bets as to who we lose next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Unfortunately Klok, you hit the nail on the head...the younger crowd of celebrities just isn't as awesome in general as the older ones we're losing. Famous for stupid things, jerks, etc. I don't see Betty White slowing down anytime unless she gets deathly sick. She's just that badass/awesome. But when she does, yeah, it will be sad. While I never got into Star Trek, I know how big of an impact this guy was and he will be missed. I wonder if The Big Bang Theory will do a tribute for him? That would be cool. His last tweet: https://twitter.com/TheRealNimoy/status/569762773204217857 "A life is like a garden. Beautiful moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory." Well spoken Mr. Spock. RIP.

Klokinator Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) We've lost the King of Rock (Elvis), King of Pop (MJ), King of Comedy (Robin Williams), Queen of Singing (Whitney Houston), and some of the greatest directors of times past, like Hitchcock. I really see nobody stepping up to replace them. Edited February 28, 2015 by Klokinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynstein Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sincerely, whatever I say won't measure up to the greatness of the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really see nobody stepping up to replace them. Even if somebody did try to be as great as say Elvis was at rock and roll, they wouldn't replace him. Everyone is an individual. There can be a new King of Rock but he would be compared to Elvis and that wouldn't be fair to either. Same goes for the rest of those examples.

Alertcircuit Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtQUePN5y40 Spock was only a character Nimoy played but I thought the emotion of this video was appropriate.
