00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.667
(air whooshing)

2
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:10.980
<v ->My first point of contact with Star Trek</v>

3
00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:12.440
was "The Original Series".

4
00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:16.230
And I remember at about 1975, so reruns

5
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:19.393
and freaking out our elementary school playground monitor

6
00:00:19.393 --> 00:00:22.617
when we were doing the "Hail hail fire and snow,

7
00:00:22.617 --> 00:00:24.197
"call the angels we must go,

8
00:00:24.197 --> 00:00:25.427
"far away far to see,

9
00:00:25.427 --> 00:00:27.387
"oh heavenly Angel come to me."

10
00:00:27.387 --> 00:00:29.730
<v ->Call the Angel we will go.</v>

11
00:00:30.565 --> 00:00:31.640
<v ->And that's where all kids</v>

12
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.200
killed all the adults or whatever.

13
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.287
And so, we had a little talking too about,

14
00:00:35.287 --> 00:00:36.630
"that was really creepy".

15
00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:38.381
And they asked us not to do it again.

16
00:00:38.381 --> 00:00:39.460
(air whooshing)

17
00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:43.110
<v ->My first point was in my high chair in 1975,</v>

18
00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:45.740
where I saw my onscreen dad William Shatner,

19
00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:47.340
running around fighting the Gorn,

20
00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.310
but I didn't realize it wasn't a Gorn until years later

21
00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:50.580
I brought all the making of books.

22
00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:52.300
So, I love "The Original Series".

23
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:53.133
I mean, I love them all.

24
00:00:53.133 --> 00:00:54.690
But "Star Trek: The Next generation".

25
00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:56.730
The writing, the set design,

26
00:00:56.730 --> 00:00:58.460
it got better and better every year,

27
00:00:58.460 --> 00:00:59.560
it's full of action.

28
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.420
I've been collecting Star Trek memorabilia,

29
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:05.660
action figures, comic books, magazine since 1978,

30
00:01:05.660 --> 00:01:07.400
I need a warehouse now for it all

31
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.600
and I refuse to get rid of it or sell it.

32
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:10.870
I recently found all my stuff

33
00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:13.940
from 1979 Star Trek Motion Picture

34
00:01:13.940 --> 00:01:16.230
post a magazine that I had on my wall,

35
00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:18.710
it's still got the blue tack that holds it together.

36
00:01:18.710 --> 00:01:21.240
It's more valuable to me personally as opposed

37
00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:22.970
to sort of financial value.

38
00:01:22.970 --> 00:01:25.280
Sentimental value overpowers everything.

39
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.530
<v ->When I first saw "The Big Bang Theory",</v>

40
00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:30.670
I was like 12.

41
00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:33.330
I wanted to know what actually Star Trek was.

42
00:01:33.330 --> 00:01:35.520
So I really want to start from the beginning.

43
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:37.420
And at the first time I found it funny

44
00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:39.940
because of the effects of those years.

45
00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:42.520
But I find it really interesting how much effort

46
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:43.880
was put into this series,

47
00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:46.610
and how good these characters were.

48
00:01:46.610 --> 00:01:48.660
I really love Nimoy,

49
00:01:48.660 --> 00:01:52.860
not just how he managed the problems,

50
00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:55.580
but how he evolves through his friends

51
00:01:55.580 --> 00:01:57.180
and through his family,

52
00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:01.854
and how he develops into being on enterprise member.

53
00:02:01.854 --> 00:02:04.521
(air whooshing)
