I’m at a bit of a loss here. When I heard Leonard Nimoy was hospitalized earlier this week, I knew deep down it would not end well.
I grew up watching Star Trek, even before I discovered Doctor Who. I grew up watching Spock, and I learned a lot of things from him. The most important one to my young mind was his line from the episode “Operation: Annihilate!” – “Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled.”
But he was so much more than Spock. And he was fascinating to watch in any role.
A legend is gone. Tonight, my family and I will be sitting down to watch Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan in his honor. It’s the perfect night for that.
