Spock and the Legacy of Star Trek
StartsWithABang writes While the nerd/geek world mourns the death of Leonard Nimoy in its own way, it's important to remember the legacy that Star Trek — and that Spock and alien characters like him — left on our world. Unlike any other series, Star Trek used a futuristic, nearly utopian world to explore our own moral battles and failings, and yet somehow always managed to weave in an optimism about humanity and our future. This is something, the author argues, that is sorely missing from the new J.J. Abrams movies.
He's dead, Jim.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
He's not dead. Just resting. Pining for the Fjords.
He had a blue shirt. Not a red one.

I'm pretty sure his shirt was white and gold.
