This is the one that got me. Right in the gut.

We rewatched "Yesteryear" tonight. It's the best of the animated Star Trek, quite fine on any terms, and entirely about Spock. It's also where D.C. Fontana wrote that the Vulcan philosophy that a death is to be mourned with tears only if the life that ended had been wasted. I don't think this one was.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

Not to mention that he absolutely, positively, stuck the ending.

Well done, Mr. Nimoy. Thank you.

He did at that, didn't he.

ETA: Tears aren't Vulcan tradition... but they are *human*. *snif*
