meazza Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Another great one gone. RIP Mr. Nimoy. I had the honor of working with him and he always went above and beyond, not only in his preparation but in how he treated everyone on set. One of my fondest memories, of all my memories, was watching him lay down the voice over for the end of the Trek reboot. It was his last day of shooting, super late (1 or 2am on a day that had a call time of 6am), they wrapped his last scene and gave him a parting gift (it's like a game show when you wrap a movie, people cheer and give you prizes). He was getting ready to go home after being Spock one more time on film, it had been a long day for a young man let alone a man in his late 70s. Then one of the producers asked him if he'd mind recording the voice over now rather than coming back in later, you know the one: "Space, the final frontier..." Serving him a latte on set doesn't constitute working with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Best episode ever. We saw a parody of this at a comedy club several years ago. Brain and brain....what is brain?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXAx_TdRGcg He probably started arguing with Bones as soon as he got to heaven. "You green blooded, pointy eared..."
