#71 — Whom Gods Destroy

Coming down the wire on the last 9 TOS movie-style posters! Hard to believe! I’ll miss this series when I’m done, but where TOS is concerned, I’m sure I’ll always come up with something else!

Here’s Whom Gods Destroy, yet another  Captain-gone-mad episode and a semi-rehash of Dagger of the Mind.  But Steve Inhat as Garth was deliciously loony, and Yvonne DeCarlo’s a lovely limber dancer!

Two Years Ago Today (June 15, 2013)

It was two years ago today, June 15, 2013, that I saw Leonard Nimoy in New York City, and on his way out of the Symphony Space Theater, he let me get his picture taken with him. (You can read the whole story here). Knowing now what we didn’t know then (about his COPD) it was especially nice of him to oblige me, for I’m sure he was tired.  I’ll never forget seeing him that day, and so thankful I did.  Bless Mr. Nimoy and his memory.  🙂

My Weekly Spock: Leonard and George

As George Takei’s labor of love Allegiance goes to Broadway this fall, it seemed a great time to remember  what good friend George was with Leonard. I found some wonderful pictures, not just from their TOS days, but though ST:IV and in 2012 when Leonard went to see the pre-Broadway version of Allegiance.  I’m so glad Leonard got to see his friend George’s wonderful musical, and I hope I’ll see it too!  The final picture was taken in 2014.  I’m sure George misses his friend.  ❤

Also note the wonderful picture here on the ST:IV set, where the little boy (Sulu’s great-great-great-great… grandfather in the story) is shyly standing in front of Leonard.    Sorry that scene of Sulu and his distant relative was never filmed, but the idea of it was was sweet.

FArFri: Spock with Kitty Isis

I love this.  I bet when Spock finally retired he had a few cats!   Unfortunately, I don’t have the artists’ name on file, but I’ll amend it when I find it!

Had a Little Surgery -Doing Fine

Hey Kids,

I had a little surgery yesterday for some ‘lady stuff’, but I’m doing fine!   Slept through most of the afternoon , but this morning I’m so full of energy!  Wish I could feel this way all the time! Still need another day of rest, but glad it’s over with.  Will post a FArFri today and be back to more posting next week.  Have a lovely weekend! -Therese ❤

My Weekly Spock–Remembering Leonard at the TONYS

If you didn’t catch the Tony Awards last night, in the memorial section Leonard’s picture was among the many   😦   I do love the photo they chose to represent him; one of my favorites.  I’ll add a copy of that picture when I find it!

Leonard had done a couple of plays on Broadway, Full Circle and Equus. And he had a theater named after him at Symphony Space in NYC.  I’m glad the Tony’s remembered him as more than Mr. Spock.

Help Adam Nimoy Make “For the Love of Spock”

Adam Nimoy, (Leonard’s Son) is working hard to make his documentary “For the Love of Spock” a reality by 2016, which is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek!  However, it takes gobs of money, especially in regards to using any images related to the Original Series, and unfortunately, even being the SON of Mr. Spock doesn’t get you any favors!  Adam needs to raise  $600,000 by JULY 1st to achieve this goal.  He’s begun Kickstarter promotion to raise the needed funds.  Please help Adam achieve the dream of both him and his wonderful late father.  If everyone who loved Leonard Nimoy even pitched in a dollar, we’d have this paid off in a day!

Please be sure to watch this promotional video, and donate what you can.  This will be a wonderful documentary, and a fine tribute to the Vulcan and marvelous Human Being we all love so dearly!   Thanks, and GOOD LUCK ADAM!  ❤    (I donated!)

From Nichelle’s Facebook page:

Update #2 10:15am June 5, 2016

The MRI showed that Nichelle Nichols had a MINOR stroke. She will start therapy this morning to evaluate how much damage was done, and try to determine her chances for a full or partial recovery. The therapists will test her hand at writing and legs to see if she can stand and walk on her own. Last night Nichelle remained alert, and cheerful.

When we told her about the love and support coming in from around the world she smiled and asked to see the posts on her facebook.

Thank you again for all of your kind words. Keep them coming because Nichelle is reading them.

Feel free to post your pictures with Nichelle and a story about when you met her.
