Leonard Nimoy died today at age 83. I was a fan of the original series, which I watched as reruns on weekends once we moved to a town that had more than one TV station. As Spock, he inspired the part of me that thirsted for knowledge. He was a man of many talents who, in addition to acting also wrote prose and poetry. But, he will be remembered as the incarnation of Mr. Spock.
Mt Spock said many things that got me thinking, such as “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the en.”
One of my favorite Spock quotes is from The Wrath of Kahn:
Perhaps the low point of Nimoy’s career was The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. It is good for a giggle.
In the end, I prefer to think of Leonard Nimoy wise man who learned a lot about lite and was willing to share what he had learned.
