I thought Vulcan's could live to 200?

Bummer but he had a pretty good run.

Yeah he was pretty good on Star Trek, but I think he peaked on Get Smart :D

Where have you been slowwwflowww? Zachary Quinto has been Spock for years now. Nimoy reprised his role as old Spock from the future. Quinto has been really good as Captain Kirk era Spock taking his cues of course from classic Nimoy Spock. No Affleck required.

What's their beef with Spock? Maybe they actually believe he's from another planet.

This article is my best guess as to why they picketed: "Unfortunately, Nimoy’s high level of fame and his large and loyal following made him an ideal target for the Westboro Baptist Church, a group that pickets funerals of soldiers and anyone with a high profile. The Westboro Baptist Church associated their picket threat with other Star Trek stars, and the things about those stars that the group opposes: George Takei and Zachary Quinto, who are openly gay (the WBC’s favorite conversation piece), and William Shatner, who the Westboro Baptist Church claims “hates God.”
