Lady Geek Girl and Friends

Star Trek is probably one of the first nerdy shows that I ever experienced. I can&#;t keep in mind a time when I wasn&#;t watching the Star Trek original series (TOS). I remember, specifically, asking my father why Spock wasn&#;t captain instead of Kirk. It was probably very obvious from my father&#;s perspective that I had a little bit of a crush on the dashing and mysterious Vulcan as a kid. But mostly I verb when I was a little older, sitting at the dinner table with my mother, and she would tell me all she knew about Star Trek. Like me, my mother was fascinated with the Vulcans, and Spock in particular. She told me about little details she loved seeing in the TV shows and the movies, and she would tell me about the stories in the Trek novels she had read that expanded on Spock&#;s past and on Vulcan culture. My mom recently passed away this past October after a terrible battle with breast cancer. She was a big nerd like me and she is probably at least partly the reason I am taking the recent death of Leonard Nimoy so hard.

T&#;Pau&#;s Wife

I was listening to Leonard Nimoy&#;s first album today (came out at the end of the first season, in in advance &#;67), and when we got to Twinkle Twinkle Little Earth, I noted this remarkable stanza:

Now, as to the matter of space sanitation, will you take a moment to consider all the littering and debris my planet has to contend with? Old nose cones, cameras, and even a corned-beef sandwich. And those rocket fumes. On Vulcan, our leader&#;s wife has started a "Let&#;s Keep Space Beautiful Campaign"

So, going on these highly reasonable premises:

1) The noun clearly is Word of God canon, since it is Spock singing explicitly about Vulcan, and the album itself is called Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock’s Music from Outer Space (emphasis added); and,

2) Vulcan&#;s leader, as we will find out in just a several weeks, is T&#;Pau, a woman; therefore,

T&#;Pau has a wife, and gay marriage is legal on Vulcan. Talk about progressive for !

(of course, forbidding gay marriage would be highly illogical, so I&#;m not surprised that it flourishes on Vulcan, th

The Star Trek ideal of delight in diversity &#; of taking pleasure in each others’ differences &#; as symbolized by Mr. Spock’s Vulcan philosophy of the IDIC (infinite diversity in infinite combinations), is nowhere more in evidence than at a Star Trek convention.[1]

You’re 17, almost 18, and you’re lost in that period of transition between high school and college, where you’re supposed to be an individual already but you don’t really feel that way yet, and your companion tells you about this show she’s been watching and says, “You’ll enjoy it. The main characters are in love.” You’ve been in fandom for awhile, bouncing from one to another &#; you enjoy how easy it is to explore those hard definitions and the blurry aspects of your own identity within the amorphous space of fandom, where nothing is solidly defined but everything is ever-shifting and as massive as you want it to be, distant but far too close sometimes. You like that you find kinship there with others who are as confused as you are but find comfort in making the same characters fall in love over and over in
