I've met people who were mysteriously opaque to things the rest of us like. I've even met people who didn't even like chocolate! AFAIC that's like not liking life itself on the deathwatch, let's see.... :chin: uhura and kirk are next.

Grim thought.

At least we'll always have "Plato's Stepchildren"

My favourite Spock episode:

Why couldn't they just stay there and be happy?

I think we may live to see them matriculate also, a few years after the others.

IMHO it would be interesting to be able to communicate with him [his spirit] where he is at now.

Spock was one of us. Perhaps WrongPlanet should observe a period of mourning somehow.

I'm decided on it. Gonna try & convene one at work Monday. I'm at Microsoft so the turnout should be good if I can Outlook ping the whole building.

One to beam up. :cry:

I saw the TOS episodes when they first aired, although I don't really remember that. I do remember watching them again in syndication, then the animated series, then seeing most of the movies in the theater.

In the original pilot Spock grins and seems to have normal emotions; it's the female Number One who is portrayed as emotionless. I never would have identified with Spock if he were merely another crew member who just happened to have pointy ears.

Growing older means gradually losing all the adults I liked when I was young, both in real life and in the entertainment world. It's part of life, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it.
