I Have Been And Always Shall Be Your Friend

Thirty-plus years later, that quote from the end of Wrath of Khan always gets me. Leonard Nimoy passed away today at the age of 83 from complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It's impossible to sum up his 60+ year career since he'll forever be remembered as Spock from Star Trek, and I'm not even going to try. The only way I know how to honor a man who has influenced me so much growing up is to share some moments that I enjoyed the most.

The Big Bang Theory

Nimoy retired from acting in 2010, but that didn't preclude him from doing voice-over work. Nimoy is one of Sheldon's idols, and in the episode "The Transporter Malfunction, he dreams about his Spock action figure giving him advice on what to do with his newly acquired Star Trek transporter toy.

Simpsorama Best Moments

Did you miss last night's Simpsons/Futurama crossover? Well, it wasn't exactly epic, but it definitely made me miss Futurama. I'm trying something new so here's what I think were the best moments from "Simpsorama."

Homer's first encounter with Bender

The Simpsons Futurama Couch Gag

This Sunday Nov 9th, Futurama visits The Simpsons, and they're not even shy about being out of ideas on the episode titled "Simpsorama." And FOX has already released the couch gag for the episode featuring Hedonismbot as the Simpson couch. I'm hoping this is just a tease and we get to see the Planet Express Ship fly through Springfield. This is already the second crossover this year for The Simpsons as they visited Quahog and Family Guy earlier this season. It was probably the first Simpsons episode I've seen in years, and I plan to watch this one as well because we could all do with some more Futurama.
