Sad news for some of my generation, including me.

He was the best one.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

To be or not to be, that... is illogical captain!

Sad news, but happy to have many good memories thanks to him.

Jean Luc was definitely in charge of the better team. All that snogging and punching aliens that the first lot went in for, no wonder Spock looked mildly irritated all the time.

There are many times in my life when I have wished I could do the Vulcan nerve pinch, and not only when someone suggests 1983 was a great vintage.

I just checked significant years of his life to see if I had something to hand that I could open to mark the occasion. Born 1931 and first appearance as Spock in 1965. One of each?

D +0 - Both very logical and correct. An unemotional experience that is surprisingly moving in a pon farr kind of way. Each with its own prime directive but they somehow meld together if one puts one's mind to it.

Delicious.

Are you saying you blended them together?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Very sad news, as he was one of my favorite actors. He will always be remembered by my generation and many others.
