Lived Long and Prospered: RIP Leonard Nimoy

The following scene is the one that probably solidified Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn as my new favorite movie whilst a lad of 10--a love which, unlike most other childhood loves, has strengthened, not lessened, as the years progressed.  When my Trekkie fandom was oft-tested by the likes of Voyager, Enterprise, Nemesis, and the "Sub-Rosa" episode of TNG, well, this was the film--and this the scene--that always reminded me why I fell for the series in the first place.

And now I'll never be able to watch it the same way again.  RIP Leonard Nimoy.  I have been, and always shall be, your friend.  Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, yours was the most... human.
