I am a Star Trek (TOS) fan. Thank you Leonard Nimoy, you will be missed. RIP.
During my studies and in my first job I worked on a speech recognition system. Our shining example was Scotty talking to the computer. Iconic: when Scotty had to use a mouse instead, in the Star Trek IV film.

Thank you Lear'sFool!
A mix of nostalgia and joy kind of invaded me when listening again to that female soprano's voice singing such a beautiful melody (and with a beautiful back orchestra.) Really touching for me, and feeling back to those times reading 'the end credits' of one more episode while listening to it, I was just a child... , just can't remember the music at the begining of each episode.
Found in Youtube also an extended version with electric violin (I guess) that I found to be even more superb, but without the beautiful soprano vocals which has a big sentimental value for me indeed.

I wonder how many people realize some of the ground breaking topics that were brought up on Star Trek at times, like the first interracial kiss on TV between Kirk and Uhura?

that was very touching.. it reminded me yesterday of something that affected me profoundly when younger. One of my handful of favorite movie scenes EVER.
just watching it now... the hairs are standing up straight on the back of my neck. So very poignant and cuts to the heart of our own mortalities.

Never as much into Star Trek as a lot of people, but I did quite enjoy the original series in no small part thanks to the character dynamic between Kirk/McCoy/Spock which wouldn't have worked as well without Nimoy's input.
RIP.

One of my favorite stories is how when his father would take him to Temple the priests (kohen) would do a sacred blessing, and Lenny was required to keep his eyes closed-- but one day he peeked and saw the priests holding their hands in a strange configuration ;
