Rest in peace Leonard.

I've always remember him more for that. I was never a huge Star Trek or Star Wars nerd growing up. That movie is magic for me. Even if I see today, I have no way of removing the nostalgia goggles. It still seems awesome to me. So many things in that movie that blew my mind as a kid. Real death, the visceral violent nature of War, re-incarnation (Megatron to Galvatron), a god-like being eating planets, the unpredictability of destiny (seeing who eventually wields The Matrix), good stuff.

He was great as Galvatron.

I was actually watching the original series this morning, very close to (and possibly during) Mr. Nimoy's passing. There's something very tender about that for me.

My mom was visiting, and she had loved TOS and watched every episode with her father back when it was actually airing. I've only recently started watching through the originals, so we thought it would be fun to watch a TOS episode together that I hadn't seen yet, then turn the tables by watching an episode of Deep Space Nine, a Trek series she's never seen but that I've seen in its entirety.

So we were having a mother-daughter Trek day, not unlike her father-daughter Trek days of old, completely coincidentally on this day of all days.

It kinda gets me in the heart. Which, in Spock's case, would be somewhere around the left-side area.

EDIT: Huh! Although I just watched the episode where McCoy makes the above joke and demonstrates where the vulcan heart is, it appears I've misremembered and gotten my sides switched. Good thing I'm not a medical officer.

I've never really been a Trek fan, but I've watched most of the first season on VHS as a kid and liked Spock. Of course he's also had the best quotes in the whole franchise, like this one I find applicable:

Spock wrote:Loss of life is to mourned, but only if the life is wasted.

I don't usually get too emotional over celebrity deaths but this one hit me. R.I.P.
