Actor Leonard Nimoy was laid to rest yesterday. I guess that’s the thing with living legends; they eventually really do pass away. Someone, I don’t remember who, stated it best online, the gist of it being “every science fiction geek’s favorite grandfather passed away”. That may, on the surface, seem like an odd thing to […]
It’s All About Starting New Traditions, But Including Star Trek
Did you know that a small, kinda largish number of people don’t keep up with me on my blog? I know, crazy, right? I’ve been documenting my progress on Operation Decorate-Before-My-Guy-Comes-Home-For-Thanksgiving on Facebook for the past week–I told you all about it in my previous blog post–and I gotta tell you, it’s an uphill battle. […]
A Writer’s Mortality: The Undiscovered Country
I’ve seen two films twice each on opening day in my life. The first was “The Lost Boys” back in…well, not so long ago. The second, which was a little more recent, was “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.” Both have very warm places in my heart and I actually have a tradition that goes […]
Intergalactic Asian American Seeks Promotion: A Candid Conversation with Garrett Wang (Part 2)
One thing I’ll mention before getting to the meat of this post is that in discussion with Garrett since 2004, he’s been toying with the idea of writing a book about his experiences on Voyager. Nobody else from the cast has done that yet and with renewed interest in Trek following the reboot, he’s got […]
Intergalactic Asian American Seeks Promotion: A Candid Conversation with Garrett Wang (Part 1)
I was watching a DVD release of Star Trek: Voyager with a friend of mine back in 2004 and, at some point, I looked over at her and said “I should interview Garrett Wang.” You see, I was writing for an online magazine at the time called Modamag doing film reviews, music reviews and the […]
1000 Years Of Wisdom Behind Her Eyes: A 2003 Conversation With Robin Curtis (Part 1)
This interview was conducted on 2-02-2003 and first published on Modamag.com. I had the pleasure of meeting Robin twice after this interview, once at DragonCon in Atlanta and the second time at the MotorCity Comicon here in Novi. She’s absolutely delightful! I can also say that my conversation with her has stayed with me long […]
1000 Years Of Wisdom Behind Her Eyes: A 2003 Conversation With Robin Curtis (Part 2)
This was originally on 2/02/03 on Modamag.com. Continued From Part 1. KG: There was a rumor at one time that Saavik might be pregnant with Spock’s child, especially since she went through Pon farr (Ed. Note:the time in a male Vulcan’s life when he is driven to mate) with him. Was that ever toyed with? […]
