He was and always will be a vestige of my childhood.
Star Trek was one of the reasons why I became passionate about science and tech. Its humanism deeply shaped the beliefs I eventually formed. The notion of kindness and fairness intermingled with the belief that through technology we could achieve a better world for all. But that took a while to percolate. His depiction of Spock was what kept me watching in the first place.

The notion of kindness and fairness intermingled with the belief that through technology we could achieve a better world for all. Same for me. Star Trek is the very reason for me being who I am, a technologist believing in the better angels of our nature. And in the days when future looks dark, or when I feel lost, I sometimes rewatch a few episodes to regain both my hope and remind myself of the values I cherish. Farewell, Spock.
- crag 12y agoSame here. I remember, my grandfather and I building my first computer, a Heathkit (I'm going back to the 70's). Because Spock inspired be to, want to be Spock. He (and Scottie) had a huge influence on me. And to this day, I still watch ST when I'm feeling blue. Farewell, Mr. Spock. And thank you.
- sithu 12y agoMy thoughts exactly. Star Trek, and Spock form an indelible part of my childhood that's shaped my early personality more than I probably realize. Truly a sad day. Rest in peace, friend.
- sanoli 12y agoI watched one of the movies in the 80's, and I remember my dad liked the series, but I grew up in another country and never got to watch it. I've always had the desire to. Do you have any tips on which version/generation of the series it would be best to begin with?
