In his last Star Trek movie (the reboot with Chris Pine as Kirk), old Spock speaks to young Spock at the end of the film. My favorite quote: "As my customary goodbye would seem oddly self-serving in this context, I will simply say, 'Farewell'."
Farewell, Leonard. Warp speed.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP - Leonard Nimoy
RIP Spock.

I don't usually give a shit about celebrity deaths, but Nimoy has entertained me man and boy with his work. I will miss him. Fair solar winds Leonard.

Quote:
Of the original "core" of four main characters, three are gone now: Nimoy, James Doohan, and DeForest Kelley. The supporting cast members are still alive, but showing their age for sure: Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koening and of course the inimitable George Takei. Only Shatner goes on and on, like the Energizer bunny. He probably will never actually die, just keep looking more and more like the smoked ham that he is.
