A bad week for Columbo villains. Like Louis Jourdan, Nimoy was one of the villains who Columbo really disliked:

I just checked to see if Robert Conrad was still alive or not. He is, for now.......

As long as he still has that battery on his shoulder, Conrad will be with us.

Sad to hear this news, though. I guess he won't be in the next movie now.

BTW, anyone remember his from his post-ST role as Paris in Mission: Impossible (replacing Landau's role as the master of disguise)?

Sure do. I also remember his song "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins."

Sheldon Cooper will be devastated
Leonard Nimoy, who won over an obsessive fan-base with his logical, pointy-eared Mr. Spock on Star Trek, died on Feb. 27. He was 83.

His final tweet from Monday was exceptionally poignant:
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP
— Leonard Nimoy (@TheRealNimoy) February 23, 2015

Nimoy signed all his tweets “LLAP” or “Live Long and Prosper,” his character’s catchphrase from the Star Trek series and films.
Nimoy had announced via Twitter last year that he had been diagnosed with COPD, a chronic respiratory disease caused by smoking that has no cure. He encouraged his followers to stop smoking.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

Someone posted "eventually we are all redshirts"
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'll miss him like crazy. He's been a part of my life since September 8, 1966.

Here's a clip from an old (pre-Star Trek) Man from UNCLE episode with Nimoy and William Shatner (and Werner Klemperer to boot):

We watched Man from UNCLE every week, but I don't remember this at all. Thanks, S3.
