From being a lonely fan in a dorky T-shirt to being on a real Star Trek set, from a viewer to an aftershow producer, from being a fan to interviewing & working with creatives from both sides of the camera, and making so many true friends... Star Trek has been a magnificent GIFT. Happy Star Trek Day!

This is the only time anyone has ever grouped me in with "the cool kids" in my entire life... although they ARE talking about a Star Trek convention, so take that as you will. Separate from my narcissistic take, this is a really fun episode.
