How can one not be impressed by L. Nimoy's portrayal of Mr. Spock?
His character was logical, almost computer-like, but was far more a
portrait of humanity than most care to admit to. Ancient/classic
computing was a hall-mark of Star Trek and Spock personified that
relationship.

Yep, sad to say, but he's "Boldly gone".. =(
As I understand it, TCM will be running "Them" (1954) on Thursday, March
1st - tomorrow, as of this writing. Don't miss Nimoy in a well-known but
un-credited bit as an Air Force radioman.
In the meantime, hop on over to YouTube and scratch your head at "The
Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" and his stirring rendition of "If I Had a
Hammer"..

farce....
