Navy04 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 My mother died in 96 when I was 14, and we used to watch the old series together. Brings back a lot of good memories. I am young, but she has been gone almost 20 years, and the sad thing is I can not remember most things about her, or even her wonderful voice. This damn PTSD, just breaks me in ways that I never thought would happen. God Bless rest her soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted February 28, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 28, 2015 There goes my childhood. I watched the original series. Remember the first pilot which was about returning the original captain of the Enterprise to that weird planet ruled by the illusionists? I remember Spock playing bad guys in Highway Patrol on TV. He was a skinny, sinister thug with a switchblade. How unlike his real personality. Shatner is doing OK with the ads on TV although he is fat as hell. I remember him from Twilight Zone with the gremlins on the airplance.John Vync 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted February 28, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 28, 2015 He had a good life!!! I'd like to make 83yo. I checked SSA stats and they figure based on my age now(69), they estimate I'll make 85yo but that doesn't bring into count any medical conditions. Anyone of us that served in VN are living on borrowed time, for sure! Thanks, Leonard Nimoy, for all the pleasure you brought us over the years!!! pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
