My affection for Star Trek came with the new movies. I was one of those kids.. Star Trek was beyond my time, and without nerdy parents I really didn't see the big deal until I was primed with other shows and movies. I always had a bit of an affection for campy shows, Firefly deeply seated that affection, and while feeling a bit lost after its very short end came and having been recently sparked with a fire of passion for the show via the 1st new movie, I started watching random episodes of the old series with my boyfriend. It is great bonding, and laughing over some of the absurd things said in the show from back then while seeing all sorts of ideas that... while they seem very unoriginal, were very bold and daring back then and created the platform for those concepts.
In Search Of is the name of my blog on here. I loved that show, and it was what I knew Mr. Nimoy for before Spock. But Spock is definitely my favorite character, and he's like the original Dwight Schrute .. Not the star of the show, but such a star of the show that the show would really suck without him.
My mother always bragged that she loved Star Trek and that they were daring enough to have an interracial kiss back when it was so taboo to show that sort of thing on TV.
It is really sad to lose him. So I'll post something happy and funny instead. (Btw, I don't think 'He's dead, Jim' is in bad taste.. it is heart-string-pulling though.)
