  1. Amazing how Star Trek developed. It wasn't a very high-quality show at the time. I have memories of that show and Lost In Space (even less quality). Both shows ignited a passion for reading sci fi in my younger years.

    As always, great links. I read the article about arrogance with interest too. It made a good point.

    1. I was hoping to get some people's take on that arrogance article. And yes, Star Trek's original series was every bit as much about social and political commentary as techno-geekdom.

  2. Thanks for the links. I haven't looked at them yet but there are a couple that I really need to read.

    Looking at the timeline makes me feel really old. LOL!

    1. P.S. Just read the arrogance article. It says what I already believed...because I'm arrogant (in a writerly sense) :D

    2. All timelines make me feel old! LOL I just can't bring myself to say "I'm arrogant" with any conviction, but the points it raises just calls my modesty bluff, I guess. :-)

  3. That graph is a Trekker's geek dream!
    And Melissa's list of writing motivations was great.
