I'm old enough to have watched the original Star Trek when it was a current weekly TV series and that show and Mr. Leonard Nemoy changed television programming and even the world of films forever. He was a true original in a world full of posers, phonies and wanna-bes and he commanded your attention when he was on the screen. You couldn't look away. No other actor I can think of could have played Spock and brought to the role what he did. He had the ability to speak volumes with just a deadpan facial expression and a simple logical statement and every sci-fi TV show or film that came after owes him and the rest of the cast, including creator Gene Roddenberry, a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. He will be missed until we are all among the stars with him.
