Leonard Nimoy and Carl Sagan.

I have to say I'm very surprised by Spock. Until now I had only seen screencaps or pictures from TOS and sure, Kirk is handsome but Spock looks like anyone's uncle. Not that he isn't handsome, he is just your average guy in a way. Which given the casting of the time, fits perfectly and I love it but that is another matter.

Thing is: now that I see him moving around and speaking and acting, he is very attractive and charming. They try to give him the vulcan allure and the alien rareness kind of vibe but Nimoy's charm is out of this world. I now understand all the fanfiction.

God bless ZQ and his friendship with Susan Nimoy.

Happy birthday to Leonard Nimoy who often babysat me when I was a latchkey kid and taught me about the craft of film making.

It's completely coincidental but I found it interesting nonetheless: Leonard Nimoy's birthday is March 26 (3/26 in the American date format) and a parsec is 3.26 light years. I know it doesn't mean anything but I think it's still interesting that an icon of science fiction shares this with a parsec, a unit of distance used in astronomy that sounds sufficiently sciency that it's often used in science fiction. Further coincidental is that .26 of a year is 94.9 days and April 5 (First Contact Day) is the 95th day of the year. Birthdays mean a lot to me and I actually share Nimoy's birthday so I thought this was pretty cool and wanted to share.

whoever was responsible for this particular camera angle has my undying gratitude btw
