First Experience with a University of Akron Lecture

Space the final frontier. This was the way one of the greatest television series in history began. With four words Roddenberry striked a cult following. Some of you may know what I'm refering to. Some of you may not have the slightest clue. For those who are in the dark, I'm refering to Star Trek (TOS).
As some of you may know I'm a self proclaimed science fiction enthusiest. I love almost all things science fiction. To me, Star Trek is almost the very top of the list. Most people do not know that it only had three seasons, not including the six films after the series. But, in those seasons they had some of the greatest charaters, subject matter and acting (minus of course, that of William Shatner's). What it lacked in budget, when it came to special effects and the set shaking from time to time, it made up in Leonard Nimoy's acting.
I went to my college lecture hall tonight with my roomate, Ben. There we went to see Mr. Nimoy speak. It was a wonderful experience. Whether you enjoyed the orginal Star Trek or not. Mr. Nimoy is a poet, a photographer, a talented actor, a director and a genuine funny man. He talked about his life growing up, his early years in acting and driving a taxi, his hand in Star Trek and his later work in the arts.

If you ever get a chance to see him speak I advise you to. He is an amazing speaker and no matter what you will get something out of it.


(sorry for the mechanical errors and such. I was going to write a lot but decided against it. Not to mention my internet connection here is very poor and bandwith does not exist apparently.)
