RIP. Though at least he lived to be old, 83 is a good age.

Was on STO earlier when Kiba popped on and told me. Sucker punch to the feels.

Yeah, that news kind of fucked me up today. </3

Yeah I was sad when I heard it. He definitely lived long and prospered though. I'm glad we go to see him in some recent stuff now. Best Buy has old Trek on all the TVs when I was in there earlier.

A truly legendary personality who shared his many fine talents with many good people his whole life. Can you aspire to more than that?

It's sad when any icon dies, but I can't say this is one I'm all too broken up about. He was 83. It was just kinda... his time. Good on him for sticking around so long though. I have to imagine he was the type that saw it coming and was okay with it because he'd lived a full life... and there really isn't any better way to go than that.
The only part that bums me out just a little is all the "live long and prosper" quotes I inevitably ended up seeing everywhere he was mentioned. And I mean everywhere. Somehow seeing a human being equated solely to a single fictional character he played 50 years ago is kind of a depressing thought. Actually, seeing any human being reduced to one singular aspect of their history is a bit of a bummer all around. Granted, it's likely that few of us know anything about the rest of his life anyway, but it's a depressing thought to me regardless. I don't remember it myself, but I bet there was a lot of "He's dead, Jim," when DeForest Kelley died.
I guess that's just the risk of being an icon though; being remembered in two dimensions rather than three.

May the force be with him

^^I bet the first thing Shatner thought after Nimoy died was "FUCK I'M NEXT".

May the force be with him

ahahahaha!!

The only thing I think I've ever seen him in was The Simpsons as I've never seen a minute of anything Star Trek. Still I can tell that he meant a lot to people as there has been nothing but people being heartbroken over his death which says a lot about the guy.
