We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most...human.
I’m not the biggest Star Trek fan in the world, but the screen always gets blurry in that part for me.
I think he said something more like, "NOOOOOOOoooooooooo"
Just a couple of tidbits about Nimoy and Star Trek.
The Vulcan Salute was based on a part of the Yom Kippur ceremony for the Jewish Day of Atonement where the Cohenim (members of the priestly caste) hold up their prayer tallises with the split fingers.
Nimoy, Shatner and Koenig were among the Jewish members of the Star Trek cast, our first mini-minion in space.
He was also in “Twilight Zone” and possibly “Outer Limits”.
One of the best dialogues in acting is that between Spock and “Q” (John DeLancie). I saw them do it at a ST convention and was amazed at the sheer professionalism of their back-and-forth reparte’. They make many actors of today seem like sock-puppets.
And for ST autograph collectors, a little story. I was bidding on a Spock/Mark Lenard dual signed photograph when my throat literally closed up due to dryness. Lost the bid but won on the next one, Spock and Data (Brent Spinner). One of my most prized ST autographs.
We lost a really decent person and trade professional.
Somewhere in the sky a star disappeared.
