Being a sci-fi writer born in the 60s, it's not surprising that I love the original Star Trek. And as you may have heard, today Leonard Nimoy passed away.
I realize this is off-topic for this forum, but for me, it's not so much. My editor and I have a long-standing in-house joke that the main character in each of my stories, whether male or female, child or codger, is to be played by William Shatner. And therefore any second character is Spock. Unless it's the antagonist in the book, then it's Khan.
In my first book, Spock was a twenty-something black woman. In my latest, he's a 14-year-old boy.
So I say, RIP Leonard Nimoy. You shall live on in ways you could have never imagined.

RIP. Loved him in Fringe too.
