If we're being honest, we've never been huge Star Trek fans. Not that we hate it, you understand, but the voracity of existing fans makes us feel like we have to go big or go home, and we've never really had the energy to invest in such an endeavor.
That said, we're re-thinking our position after Friday's episode of The View during which we developed, what could be called a voracious crush on Leonard Nimoy (and, possibly, his wife) as they discuss keeping the fire alive in their 20 year marriage. We may have blushed a little...
Maybe it's the cardigan with the pocket scarf that's weirdly doing it for us. Maybe it's the fact that at the start of the interview, Leonard came out and asked to see The View's warm-up guy, Tom (a hardcore, lifelong Star Trek fan). Poor Tom peeked out from behind the audience looking like he was going to pass out. Words failed him, and all he could do was raise a shaking Vulcan salute. Leonard Nimoy raised his salute back and said, "Live long and prosper, Tom." Tom looked like he might die on the spot. We teared up. It was magical. Whatever the reason, we're suddenly much more excited about the new Star Trek movie than we were before.
