"The good of the many outweighs the good of the few". ( something like that)
Man I really loved the concepts that Star Trek presented us to think about

Thanks for the post Lawrence. I’d never seen that hobbit video before. I have to say it was simultaneously amusing and painful...lol.
Happy birthday Spock.
I also remember him for hosting In Search Of. I think my favorite episode was the one on Coral Castle.

That was a fantastic show, and I remember the episode you're talking about; the one about the Atlantean "highways" was just as fun.
Nimoy also produced and hosted a show on Nickelodeon (a very long time ago) called Lights, Camera, Action!, where they would explain movie making and storytelling in general.
Fantastic actor, host, writer, photographer. Hell, is there anything the man hasn't done (could have done without the singing, though)?

So true...and considering the stuff Shatner's done, I guess we can forgive Nimoy for the hobbit song. :lol:

I remember the Bilbo Baggins song from the 60's, but didn't realize that Leonard Nemoy had sung it. That was during the time that Tolkien's works were finally taking off in popularity and everyone on the college campuses were reading them, myself included. About that same time Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" also soared in popularity, to cult status. I Grok the significance....
Spock was always one of my favorite characters, a being of logic like I was for a long time... until the voices convinced me "all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream"... ah, the 60's... I remember... some of them....

Star Trek is the type of reality I wish truly existed. The concept of exploration rather than all these damn wars appeals to me. Spock is the ultimate character. He shows how we all struggle with emotions. Spirituality also figures quite heavily, particularly in DS9.
LONG LIVE STAR TREK
