I think the reason why the far side of the Uncanny Valley is so disturbing is that we must assign the object to either "HUMAN" or "ROBOT." A being like C3PO is still a robot but he's cute because he ACTS like a human. He does not look like one. The very-close-to-human androids and gynoids are ass...

It's funny how Mr. Nimoy has taken on attributes of Spock as the years have gone by. He seems almost ecclesiastical in his black garb, people react to him as if he is a superior being and look to him for profound words of wisdom.

I have heard him speak and people in the room reacted to him as if ...

Everyone likes to pile on Nimoy for recording such a tacky song and for making an even tackier proto-video, but what I want to know is who is the composer of this great steaming heap of corniness?

I'm dying for someone to make a wax figure of the severely bloated William Shatner.

Looks like a case of early Alzheimer's disease to me. Or possibly alcoholic encephalopathy. What is it the old drunks used to say?

"Alcohol only destroys those brain cells that you don't need."

@Navchakrapani I think that's Kaye Ballard. It's interesting that Nimoy is so focussed on the charming Mr. Halsman, because he's a real fan, but it borders on rudeness to totally ignore your other guest.

Mr. Nimoy is not being sexist; he's not that kind of guy. He's not used to being a talk show ...

Gre-e-a-a-t! But i think the Nimoy needs a little work. Why don't you try Zachary Quinto? Especially his somewhat self-involved little "humor" videos. You'd be a dead ringer for him!

Is Chris Pine morphing into Zacahry Quinto?

What a wonderful video! I'm not a "shipper" but I do appreciate the poignancy of this relationship. Just lovely!

I initially scoffed at the notion of a Spock/Uhura romance, until I got the book "Star Trek: 365." On p. 272, there is a still from "Elaan of Troiyus." It is a flirtatious scene betwee...

Thank you for posting this MissMael. I've heard Leonard NImoy mention this episode as an example of what he was doing before Star Trek. He described John Walking Fox as being very Spock-like in his logical and methodical approach to revenge.

Spocky or not, this is a very moving episode. John's q...

What an uncomfortable moment for Mr. Nimoy! Almost everyone involved with "ST:TMP" has spent the past few decades decrying how awful it was.

Wise didn't know what Star Trek was about! He was trying to re-make "2001"! It's boring! Well all that may be true, but to have to get up and praise the ma...

Fantastic! Watching this video is almost like entering the world of Star Trek and living there. It reminds me of the detailed models of cities of the future that they used to have at the World's Fair but obviously this model is invested with much more emotion.

Viewing the recreational areas and ...

A very beautiful and poignant video. it seems Star trek caught these men at the very peak of life. Shatner was as virile as he'd ever be and Nimoy was just beginning to show a faint wizened look so crucial to Spock's wisdom-of-the-ages demeanor.

As someone who missed out on a lot of Star Trek du...

The first season was certainly the greatest for Spock. Mr. Nimoy was fired up with enthusiasm for the character and was subtly emotive, creating a character of great depth. Just compare this Spock to the Spock of the third season. Although Mr. Nimoy was fighting to maintain the integrity of the c...

I just got the DVD and have the book "Confronting Collapse." I'm giving copies to my friends. They must know the truth.

I used to think I was pretty well-informed. I listened to alternative radio, I searched for information on the web, I read books, I attended conferences. But there is so much t...

Ah, "scratch a cynic and you'll find a disappointed idealist." I just got finished listening to Harlan ranting on and on in Dark Dreamers parts 1,2 and 3, and I was wondering where all that bile came from.

Now I know that it arises from the ashes of his shattered youthful dreams.

@Dorinay42 So "The Full Body Project" is his revenge?

A strange scene and one that was usually cut out or truncated in syndication. Many old Star Trek fans have no memory of this scene because the only time they would have seen it was when it was first shown in prime time.

It's curious that Spock has a greater emotional response than his human frien...

How did I miss this show in the 1970's? I watched "In Search Of..." all the time, not because it starred Leonard Nimoy but because it was interesting.

I loved nature shows, especially Jacques Cousteau. We grew up near the beach and I loved the sea. If I had known this show was on, I would have n...

A fashion designer should pick up on this man's sense of style. I can see a whole collection based on the Leonard Nimoy style. Of course, you would have to be somewhat tall and skinny to wear it well.

At a time when most men wore polyester, he was doing his own slightly retro thing. Functional c...

Ahhhh, the famous Leonard Nimoy style, delicious mixture of casual elegance and bohemian comfort. No one wears white-on-white better. The v-neck sweater and slacks; the denim shirt, bell-bottoms jeans, and bandana...and always, a little view of chest hair.

But my God, I've never seen those famous...

I don't believe this is "Spock Thoughts." It's "A Visit to a Sad Planet."

Are they giving Leonard Nimoy the "hook?" Are you kidding me? Who the hell do they have coming after him who's more important? Jesus Christ?

I've always wondered what it would be like to wake up next to Leonard Nimoy (but not in THIS century.)

What! You didn't mention the bricks and bricks of surplus US government cheese this s#$t is actually made of.

Yah, Adolph, your voice can indeed move women to tears...tears of hysterical laughter!

I've always loved that slow tilt upward from those shiny black boots to that stone cold face in "Tomorrow Is Yesterday." I guess because Leonard is so tall and skinny that directors can't resist this kind of shot. They did a similar move in 'Mission Impossible."

One little sequence that I always ...

@4216dman. I don't think you have to worry about people looking at you in times Square. This is of course New York and notice that no one even notices the guy. We New Yorkers are so blase.

Most people are probably thinking, Oh that poor man is nuts, or What movie are they filming?

Actually this guy is closer in spirit to the old time Spiderman, than the current incarnation. Spidey was always kvetching about how hard his life was:

"I have to fight crime and pick up aunt May's medicine on the way home."

"I don't get any girls."

"I have a cold and I can't go to the doctor."

"...

Just when you think, *sigh* I guess there's no more Leonardy goodness to be had, you (and ribbonrain) come up with some undiscovered nugget. Thank you very much for showing this.

I've always felt that Nimoy's sense of humor, as well as Spock's, had a lot in common with George Burns.

I don't know how I feel about this. It's one thing to punk a politician, especially one who doesn't like people very much, but it's another thing to go after a private citizen like Leonard Nimoy who's never hurt any of his fans. He's an old man, for Pete's sake. He's done lots of good work. Leave...

A very nice slide show tribute to Mr. Nimoy; however, the choice of "Midnight Sonata" for the soundtrack on the occasion of a senior citizen's birthday is a little...a little...ummm...depressing.

(He's not dead yet, Jim.)

Nobody can hold a straight face like Leonard NImoy. He had me going there for a few minutes!

I am familiar with the first interview. Thank you for giving us a better quality clip. You can really see the detail in the Spock make-up here. It looks kind of weird in the harsh outdoor light. I always laugh when Leonard says that he's finally playing characters that his mother would like. (Sp...

I always thought that part of Leonard Nimoy's appeal was that he was as close to being a Black man as a White man could get, without actually being part Black, and this proves it.

Think about it. He's got that deep gravely voice, long skinny legs, and stone-cold hipness.

To bad he chose to sing ...

I'm gonna need a nice, long, cool shower after this one! Boy, was he ever hot! Leonard makes the Fonz look like a cream puff.

I'm sure that on some level Leonard Nimoy realizes that he has given the most influential performance of the 20th Century, both in its effect on the industry (the development of the mega-franchise and tv shows made into movies) as well as its effect on the minds of generations of young people (i...
