Live Long and Prosper

Like many of my friends and many people around the world, I am very saddened by the news of Leonard Nimoy’s passing.

So here is my little personal homage to him and his iconic role of Spock.

Like the rest of my generation I know Spock ever since I can remember and I do not remember how often I have seen the original Star Trek series.

The photo below is on my computer, being copied from one model to the next, since like forever.



In my twenties I admittedly became a fan of Next Gen, but the original series was always there of course and the movies too, of which my favorites are the Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home.

I have only some 15 or so action figures, and this one here is one of them.



“Mirror mirror” is and remains one of my favorite episodes of the original series.

I am a nerd and somehow Spock is the father of all nerds, isn’t he? Now we must do without him. But I hope and think he had a long and prosperous life. He surely gave many nerds all over the world joy and encouragement by being a more humane and real character than many others. Thanks to Leonard Nimoy, Spock became the icon that he is and a big thank you to him and farewell. R.I.P. Spock. We will miss you.
