When you think of Leonard Nimoy post-Star Trek, what comes to mind?

For me, it's usually "In Search Of."

But I just found a TV movie on Youtube he made in 1972, called "Baffled!"

A detective with a supernatural twist.

Orthodox Jewish upbringing. It’s how Rabbis bless their congregations.

And I don't necessarily want to.

Shatner's different. That guy's everywhere.

A series mix of Earth (often, but not only Boston & NYC) based Sci-fi, action & intrigue, humor, some horror, a bit of, I guess, fantasy.

A brilliant series!

As well as Mission Impossible. There is also 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire'. He was so many things besides an actor.

There is also this old movie where he plays an alien who lands on earth with his fellow aliens. I barely remember it, but it was in black and white and they drove an old pickup to get around. It took me like ten minutes to figure out that the guy was, in fact, Leonard.

Supposedly, Leonard had copies of it, or maybe he bought the original, I forget. It is funny that when you see those guys in their face paint and costumes, one can plainly see that one of them is Leonard Nimoy. His distinctive features give him away every time.

I loved watching the show as a kid. Nowadays, I would almost certainly be driven mad by the clumsy and often ridiculous pseudoscience.
