There’s been no larger cultural influence in my life than the original series of Star Trek. We’ve been losing the stars over time – – Nimoy, Kelley, Doohan. Walter Koenig is still going, and I enjoyed this interview with him:
Interesting how the most generous word he could conjure up for Shatner was “civil.” That sounds about right.
I noticed a certain sadness about Walter, and I stumbled upon the tale of his own son’s suicide. I often lose sight of the fact that there are real humans behind these characters.
