On Sunday MeTV will be airing a marathon of classic tv episodes that featured Leonard Nimoy. From the promo I saw it looks like it will include his work in Mission Impossible, The Twilight Zone, Bonanza, Sea Hunt, and others.

Sad hearing the news of his passing. But as much a part of foundation he was to current sci-fi and pop culture, I regret he didn't get to show more of himself in other roles. He struggled , it seems for a while at least, dealing with being " Spock ", and little else in the eyes of the public. Still, no one can deny the huge impact that character had on so many fans and casual observers over the decades.

We lost an icon, and much more.

Be at peace, Mr. Nimoy.

That's Kaylee in the center of "Universal Mourning. LLAP, Leonard Nimoy".

The blonde on the right is Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from Battlestar Galactica. The other redhead besides Scully is Leeloo from The Fifth Element. My guess for the one in the back is Chiana from Farscape.

Correct!

I'm really glad they didn't go with the pointy teeth at 4 min 30 sec into the video!

Leonard Nimoy on Spock's make-up on Star Trek. Nimoy designed Spock's makeup with a little help. The original ears were grotesque and funny.

Spock was my favorite character of all Trek characters. This hurts. But it has been a Star Trek original series marathon on dvd at my place this weekend. That helps ease the pain a little.

"Star Trek is great, and Leonard Nimoy's Spock was the greatest thing about it," said columnist Matthew Yglesias.

"But Spock was not only a hero. He was a particular kind of hero. Someone the wrong kind of people would call a villain. I am always struck, as a longtime Star Trek fan, by the fact that many media figures seem to think it's a dis on President Obama to compare him to Spock.

The ease with which some deride Spock makes him truly unusual for a television character. Spock is someone who some of us can eminently identify with, but also someone who others find so alien that they are compelled to castigate him. That, in turn, makes him a dozen times more relatable than a more conventional and universally admired hero."

"He was an archetype that was compelling enough to power not just five Star Trek shows, but countless characters in subsequent decades' shows: from Rupert Giles in Buffy to Benedict Cumberbatch's version of Sherlock Holmes to Temperance Brennan in Bones to House's Dr. House."

Leeloo with clothes and a cellphone? That seems like a different Fifth Element than the one I saw. I can see the suspenders, but that also seemed to apply to the girl on Lexx, and more so with the t-shirt.

Remember how Spock was the character that got Star Trek banned? Which led to it's horrible ratings and threats of it's demise before the first season was completed. But saved by the Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood. And also led to all those episodes with Spock covering his ears with various accoutrements, which I always assumed Jayne's various headgear was alluding to.

It's a cute pic and the artist meant well, personally I would have gone with Zoe, she was the bad ass. Kaylee is sweet and harmless.
