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." -- wilwheaton.net/2015/02/remembering-leonard-nimoy
yep - me, too. :{
ReplyDeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteLovely 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 :(

NICE TO MEET YOU, LEO.
ReplyDelete"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.
