    I screamed "what!?" when I read the news. I didn't watch Star Trek but even I knew who he was regardless of his involvement in Transformers. It's terrible news but this is the way life is, great people live and their time comes to an end. At least he was able to resonate with so many people in his lifetime.

    Even though I was kind of expecting this after hearing he'd been admitted to the hospital, it's still something of a shock.

    Time to break out one of the classic Trek films in tribute. I'm thinking The Search for Spock.

    RIP Mr. Nimoy.

    Damn... Best thing about the Star Trek reboot was Spock Prime... Grrrrrr... Hopefully Star Trek 3 will have Sulu Prime.

    Oh my God, what a Great man left us. *crying Just have no words. "A life is like a garden, perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory." What a nice phrase...

    That is the good thing after these legendary actors are passed, they will live on forever in the masterpieces of cinema. We will always have that.

    I don't really have the words right now. I don't want this to be real.

    Anyone have a spare genesis device handy?

    I'm definitely choked up about his passing. Star Trek and Transformers have been a large part of my life as an child and as an adult. RIP You'll be sorely missed. LLAP.

    I had a feeling it was his time. Fitting that his last screen role should be the same one that made him famous. Mr. Nimoy has ensured his legacy.

    Asking that is begging for a stern tongue-lashing from a mod...

    I know I'm gonna watch the Star Trek reboots (not a fan of the original, or tng, etc) and invasion of the body snatchers this weekend.

    I just heard the news.

    I also don't know what to say.....he's entertained generations of fans with his works. Definitely will be missed.

    RIP.

    Definitely. Feel so bad about orson wells and Raul Julia's passing tf86 and street fighter will never be an honorable final tribute to an actor...

    Nimoy had some of the best lines in TFTM. "This is bad comedy!" Haha.

    It's the voice I hear when i read IDW TF comics. Such a gracious guy too. He had to put up with a LOT of fandorks for generations.

    Thanks for everything...

    Very sad. I wasn't really a fan of Star Trek, but I loved him as William Bell in Fringe.

    This has got to be a news story on the front page. For the fandom this is a really big deal. The sun is shining outside but I'm not feeling it.
