Me too.

Lovely tribute from Will Wheaton on Radio 4 this morning, about how he identified with Spock and how it helped him deal with being an outsider.

CROW: yeah :(

BOOKWORM: Thanks for the tip on Wil Wheaton--it led me to read his blog this morning (I don't usually, though I like him), which brought tears of recognition:

"Mister Spock made it okay for me to be the weird kid who eventually grew into a slightly-less weird adult, but it was Leonard Nimoy who made Mister Spock live, and who made Star Trek — and every science fiction TV series since 1966 — possible."

NICE TO MEET YOU, LEO.

"You, too."



Will Wheaton is actually a very interesting guy. Played a terrific villain in Leverage. Promotes board games. Comic geek.

Oh, and a video from languagehat, Nimoy on his Yiddish heritage.
