To Nichelle Nichols

From science fiction
To science fact
From Lady Actress
To Lady Astronaut

A many of myths
You have broken
A multitude of gifts
And truly outspoken

An eternal beauty
With a sense of duty
A voice like an angel
With an attitude of the devil đŸ˜‰

Uhura, Nichelle
We’re so very glad
Onto our screens you fell
Without you we’d be sad

This might sound a cliche
Live Long and Prosper!

Star Trek: Happy 51st Anniversary!

Star-Trek1

Call it campy or even quirky
Call it the wagon train in space
All the familiar cardboard sets
And the best written scripts
Sci-fi, entertainment and humanity
All at their very best in the same place
This is the most a TV show gets
Don’t tell me, you are not gripped

Watching re-runs
With your best chums
What could be more fun
Maybe sitting out in the sun?

But, we are Trekkers
Nerds, geeks and well, trekkers
Looking up to the stars
Daring to go very far
Well, at least, in our imagination
During the syndication
With our favourite television show
To which much we owe

Live Long and Prosper Star Trek!

Live Long and Prosper Walter!

“It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad”
“We are looking for the Nuclear Wessels in Alameda”

Actor, writer
Director, teacher

Chekov on Star Trek
Who could forget
That boyish charm
And an accent of Russian
Done with such passion
Taking us by storm

Bester on Babylon 5
A character done with style
Telepath and an antagonist
Quite the opportunist
Stirring up the soup
Better watch out for a coup

Whether on film or stage
Even fan productions made
You always deliver
Like a true winner
Leaving us in awe
And wanting for more

“It’s worked so far, but we are not off yet” Dr McCoy, Star Trek

Live Long and Prosper

Today’s quote is near and dear to every Trekker on this planet called Earth, as quoted by the belowed character Mr Spock on Star Trek. Often also used in social media, is the abbreviation, LLAP.

“Live long and prosper” Mr Spock, Star Trek

The Vulcan salute was devised by Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed the half-Vulcan character Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek television series. A 1968 New York Times interview described the salute or greeting gesture as a “double-fingered version of Churchill’s victory sign”. Nimoy said in that interview that he “decided that the Vulcans were a ‘hand-oriented’ people.
