I performed in improvised parodies of TOS for 9 years, appearing at comic conventions and on SyFy Wire. I also moderated the 2010 Emerald City Comicon panel with Leonard Nimoy, who was amazing. I grew up with TNG, but developed appreciation for TOS after “These Are The Voyages” #startrek #trekkie 🖖
