Mr. Spock Masculine?

When Gene Roddenberry created the TV series Star Trek, the suits at NBC had some advice: “Lose the Martian.”

Very interesting read. The late 60’s were a turbulent time here in the U.S. and you could see that played out in social interaction on shows of that time. One such show was Star Trek. A fascinating article over at NPR digs into the character of Spock from that series.

Sad Trooper

Had several people send me this today. I don’t know where it came from. But it sure pulled at my heart strings. Poor guy.

I’m just curious how he is drinking that booze…maybe that’s why he’s really sad.

Jedi Family Time

When I met Scott 12 years ago, he identified himself right away as a die-hard fan. “It’s sort of my thing,” he said, if not on the first date, then shortly thereafter. “I’m very into it.” He warned me, and I dated him anyway. I simply didn’t consider what “very into” meant.

Good read on how to deal with a family of Star Wars fans. Makes me feel sad that I don’t spend more quality time with my kids doing this sort of thing.
