I'm a huge Star Trek fan. Bummer.

Jimmy Doohan (Scotty),
DeForest Kelly (McCoy),
Gene Roddenberry, and
Majel Barrett (Nurse Chappell, and Gene Roddenberry's wife)
all gone.
Kirk, Sulu and Uhura soldiering on.

Just love this recent video:

    At a philharmonic concert in Fresno, CA some years ago, Leonard Nemoy gave a 45 minute reading without even one missed pronunciation or correction. I'm glad I was there.

    Majel Barrett was also the voice of the computer on Next Generation I think.

    Yes, He was one of us. Never forget "live long and prosper".
    Loved him and John Wayne, they made me who I am.

    First interracial kiss on TV, right? I heard that it was supposed to be Nimoy, but Shatner objected and swiped the scene.

    Your are quite fortunate indeed. I am jealous, but shouldn't be since I did nothing to earn a breakfast with Nimoy. Seems you've made quite the contributions! Thank you.

    George Takei and Nichelle Nichols are dear friends I've know for decades...both talented performers, good souls and, like my dear Gene Roddenberry (who created Spock) and Leonard (who brought him to life) they are worldwide heroes. Lucky us...heroes are not common.

    I thought you might tell me she looked just like Nana Visitor!
    Good luck with the costumes and event.

    I have known Leonard more than 30 years. We met at a STAR TREK con in LA when I was publishing STARLOG, the science fiction magazine I created with my partner Norm Jacobs. Leonard invited me to breakfast at his home, and over the years we had many wonderful times together. When I moved from Manhattan to Hollywood in 2001, I enjoyed my final lunch at Gotham Restaurant with Leonard -- the perfect way to say farewell to my favorite city. Leonard was a passional soul who wrote several books of poetry -- quite a contrast to the character of pure logic that Gene Roddenberry created and Leonard brought to life. He will be missed by millions worldwide, not just by Trekkies, and I will miss him as long as I live. Kerry O'Quinn

    My wife is a hvy set girl so to find a character to cosplay is a little hard. So, when we read about Nemoy on the internet she went looking for Star Trek characters she could cosplay. I told her she could play Kai Winn Adami of Bajor.

    I remember watching a 1964 episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. called "The Project Strigas Affair". The episode cast included all three of these famous Jewish actors: William Shatner (Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Spock), and Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink).

    First read a comment from a family member and used the phrase 'çhanging the parameters.' That got me thinking about Star Trek and the years of enjoyment of enjoyment. Then I see this posted way down in Central America. Like any good soldier I paused for a full minute. "They saw the future and presented it in so many ways.'

    As long as we're on the topic of favorite lines, mine two are from De Kelly: "He's dead, Jim", and "I'm a doctor, not a _____."
