    • Star Wars fan here. I've never been a Star Trek fan myself. I'm not a hater, (to each his own) I just prefer the "Rock and Roll of Star Wars to Star Trek's more "Classical" approach. That being said, I absolutely LOVE Leonard Nimoy. I have nothing but respect for that man. Despite not being a fan of the series, I found his character 'Spock' quite fascinating and the main reason I watched so many episodes with my best friend who was (and obviously still is) a Trekkie. 🖖 Live long and prosper Mr. Nimoy, wherever you are. Rest in peace...

  • I was never a Star Trek fan and never watched the show but Mr. Nimoy was the very first person to host Ripples Believe it or not, and he had such a captivation voice you couldn't help but watch it. Then I watched him on re-runs of Mission Impossible and even in that he was fantastic. Then it was just after the release of the third Star Trek film search for Spock and yes that one I saw, I meet him in a air port just out side of Colorado springs and I remember he came up to me and said, "you look sad is something wrong" at the time I was sixteen, I said I am waiting on my Dad he is a Sargent in the Army and he is late" , and he literally talked my ear off but the guy was so smart he would blow your mind. So he asked me if I knew who he was and I said yeah you used to be on Mission Impossible and he had this big smile and told me I was also on Star Trek. And I said something that had him laughing so hard I though he would fall out of his chair, I said "Star Track what is that some racing movie?", he started laughing at me and then I saw the move poster for Star Trek III on the side of a bus and I had this sinking feeling of stupidity roll over me. He said "Don't worry about it you made my day, what is your name since you already know mine", I said my name and my father finally got there and thanked him for keeping me company and he thanked my dad for his service to this country. The man was one of a kind and his will always be missed.

  • That slip and stutter in The Wrath of Kahn is a great example of Shatner's underrated acting ability; He couldn't have played it any better, showing a grieving Kirk who is fighting, as Admiral, to keep composed. Great scene.

    • Shatner's acting ability is indeed much underrated. He can say anything with his face alone -- in Spock's death scene, his childlike expression of helplessness and despair is the emotional heart of it. William Shatner was a member of the National Repertory Theatre in Ottawa. He acted in the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario. He was Christopher Plummer's understudy in Henry V on Broadway. He is a superb actor. Accounts of the making of Star Trek mention the fact that Shatner's classical training made it easy for him to try out alternate readings of the same line.

      @kitcat7538@kitcat75383 жыл бұрын
    • Look up Walter Koenig's defense of Shatner's acting ability - I found it quite moving. Something else to look up is his excellent re-do of Kirk's death on Jimmy Kimmel - he improves it very well. Finally, his reaction to his son's death in Search For Spock - chokes me up.

    • No, that was Kirk's line. You're getting confused. Spock's line was, "Use the force, Luke" Remember, after Spock helped Gilligan get off of Fantasy Island, they both worked at the bank with Mr. Drysdale and Mrs. Hathaway.

  • I had a great opportunity to meet Lenard Nimoy many years ago after a banquet I was filming for the movie industry in NYC. We hung out and talked for about 45 minutes about the tv show and movies. He was a very pleasant, funny and humble man to talk with, it’s a memory I will always remember. RIP Mr. Spock 🙋🏻‍♂️

    • @Centurian HATED Enterprise -- watched it through once and never watched an episode a second time. It is in every way a regression and a disappointment from the first second when, instead of the beautiful, sweeping orchestral music one associates with TNG, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, there is an absolutely ghastly, cringe-making song about aspiration over the opening credits. The three previous shows are ensemble shows with a huge variety of interesting characters. Enterprise focuses entirely on one invincible captain and one boring Vulcan. The sets are dark and dull, the costumes are drab, the scripts are boilerplate sci-fi. The thing is a prequel, so there is no sense of facing an unknown future: they are boldly going where everyone has been before. And the prequel tries to change for its own convenience principles established in previous series, so you don't know where you are anymore. All the wonderful worlds created by previous series and all the fascinating species we have come to know -- Cardassians, Klingons, Romulans, Changelings, Vorta, Jem'Hadar, Bajorans, Breen, all the species Voyager met in the Delta Quadrant -- are gone; it's a wretched prequel and no one has met them yet. We never learn what happened after Voyager returned to Earth and the Dominion War ended. And the acting is awful! WIlliam Shatner and Patrick Stewart came from the Shakespearean stage. Actors like René Auberjonois, Nana Visitor, Avery Brooks, and Kate Mulgrew had years of stage experience. These people knew how to act and they knew how to be part of an ensemble. The acting in Enterprise is just wooden. Of course, Enterprise is better than JunkTrek -- better than Discovery, better than Picard, better than Strange New Worlds will be -- but JunkTrek consists of the worst television ever made. Compared to the Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager, Enterprise is a huge disappointment.

  • I’m sure, as a serious AC-tor, he never imagined what would come from playing an alien in 3 seasons of some random TV show. But what an influence and legacy he has left, a role like that is something the vast majority of actors never even come close to. He became a cultural icon, if you flash that hand sign at virtually any American, they’ll know exactly what you mean. I’m sure he never imagined during the filming of the show that he would be a beloved character for generations to come. Star Trek was already cancelled way before I was born, even as a Gen Xer, but I grew up watching the reruns, my mom took me to the movies, I still watch the original series now and then. Star Trek lives on to this day, and Leonard Nimoy is a huge reason why.
