The news media is reporting that Leonard Nimoy has passed away. He was 83. In spite of other roles, he will forever be remembered as Spock on the original Star Trek.
I was a fan of the original ST, although I had to catch the shows in reruns at odd times when I was growing up. I’m not sure I’ve seen all of the episodes. I did read the James Blish novelizations when I was in 5th and 6th grades.
Spock was always my favorite character on the show. I went through a mild phase where I tried to model myself on him by not displaying emotions and using only logic. That didn’t last long. I’ve no Vulcan blood.
Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy. You lived long and prospered.
Yes. Afternoon Star Trek reruns during the 1970s. I probably haven’t seen everything.
In Search Of – I gobbled that up.
Also, Mission Impossible afternoon reruns.
I read omnibuses of the James Blish adaptations years later – college or just after.
When I first tried to watch Star Trek, the local TV station that showed it ran them once a week in the middle of Saturday afternoon. For a while, my watching was hit and missed and was always the same episodes. Then we moved, and I watched it every evening.
