353: Tribute to Spock
I grew up with and love Star Trek, so today’s drawing honors the late Leonard Nimoy. Today also coincides with the passing of my grandpa, so I’d like to say rest in peace good sirs. Thank you for being such an inspiration in my life.
You can see Spock and his kitty in Assignment Earth, Season 2 Episode 26.
Leonard Nimoy (March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015)
“We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love.” - William Shatner

“When he was on the set, he was Spock. And you never saw Leonard smile when he was doing Spock, very in character, but he’d have moments. When the work was done, then he was different. He’d go back to being Leonard Nimoy.”

I was there. I know what Gene Roddenberry envisioned. He went on at length about it in almost every meeting. He wasn’t about technology, he was about envisioning a world that works for everyone, with no one and nothing left out. Gene Roddenberry was one of the great Social Justice Warriors. You don’t get to claim him or his show as a shield of virtue for a cause he would have disdained.
Most of the stories we wrote were about social justice. ‘The Cloud Minders,’ ‘A Taste Of Armageddon,’ ‘Errand Of Mercy,’ ‘The Apple,’ ‘Let That Be Your Last Battlefield,’ and so many more. We did stories that were about exploring the universe not just because we could build starships, but because we wanted to know who was out there, what was our place in the universe, and what could we learn from the other races out there?
Star Trek was about social justice from day one.
