Life Without Spock
You will have heard by now that Leonard Nimoy is dead. I’ve been struggling with what to write, knowing that I wanted to write about him and Spock but not sure how. I discovered Star Trek (both TNG and TOS) at age 12, right around the time I entered school after homeschooling up to that point. Junior high school (middle school to you Americans) was…not an easy transition. I didn’t know pop culture or slang or teen humour. I was bookish, awkward, nerdy. Of course I thought I was the only one who felt unsure and out of place. Is it any wonder I fell hard for both Data and Spock?
