Historical note: This shared smile is the moment I fell in love with #StarTrek when I was a kid. This wasn't just an away mission with a leader and crew member - the Enterprise crew genuinely liked each other. Eleven-year-old me wanted to be a part of that. #AllStarTrek #TomorrowIsYesterday
I've had nights like that, too.

You know, Spock's argument about past manipulation is a very logical explanation of what's going on out there right now. #MeTVStarTrek #TomorrowIsYesterday

True fact: Mike Mazurki was actually an attorney before he went into acting. Can you imagine him cross-examining one of your witnesses? "Are you sure that's what you saw, squirt?" #MeTVBatman
