 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    I cannot say anything more eloquent than that.

    Yeah - just saw that too.  Quite the bummer.
     
    What an amazing life he had, a very special and universally loved and respected actor.
     
    Some time after Star Trek had ended its television run, I was lucky enough to see Leonard Nimoy in a tiny little theater in the round play called 'A Visitor From a Small Planet', which was actually pretty good, and in it, he did a great job.  He was kind enough to stick around afterwards, and was SUPER polite in meeting with fans after the play and shaking everybody's hands and signing autographs and all of that.  And, just about every other person who met him did the whole Live Long and Prosper thing with the double-finger V thing.  It was pretty cool, and he was quite tolerant of that and also quite nice.
     
    I think we will begin to see large numbers of celebrity deaths in the coming years, for all of the folks we grew up with watching, as they and we are all getting up there in years.  It's that whole Circle of Elton thing, I suppose.

    Never watched Star Trek but I know who he was and his episode of Columbo is one of my all time favorites. RIP.

    Not sure what all the sadness is about, all we need is an unused planet and a Genesis machine plus whoever is carrying around is mind...

    Apart from Spock, he was great as 'Paris' in Mission: Impossible, and a load of other TV roles like Rawhide and The Virginian.

    Strange that the passing of a stranger would affect me like that. Through his character, Nimoy has been a part of my daily life for ages. For over 20 years, it's been one of my favorite things to sit in front of an old Star Trek TOS episode w/ a guitar and practice. As a matter of fact, I was doing just that last night before I went to bed...
     
    I'm also a big fan of Fringe, in which he played Dr. William Bell. Great role.
     
    Sad, sad news.

    That ain't cool. He was what made ST TOS interesting and cool instead of simply hokey and cheesy.
     
    He also had one of those priceless and instantly recognizable voices like Vincent Price.
     
    RIP Spockyman.

    That seemed to be an integral part of his persona. He had a dignity and patience that crept into the parts he played.
    Yes, we will miss him.
