There is a kid at the convention, about seven years old, wearing a red Dalek costume and chanting, “exterminate.” A young teen wearing a blazer and a bow tie accompanies the Dalek through the halls. I die.

It’s rare that I get to watch a TELEVISION EVENT on a Saturday night these days. I am, as they say, excite.

Dr. Who fandom sure is different from when I was a teenager. We gathered like an underground pod of nerds in my friend’s basement to watch on Maryland Public Television nearly every Saturday night. Re-runs of Tom Baker episodes were in heavy rotation.

For today: an interview with Nichelle Nichols. It’s long, but it’s a funny/charming story and I urge you to watch. In 1966, at the end of the first season, Nichols was preparing to leave Star Trek to return to her first love, the musical stage. Skip ahead to 4:12 to hear about her coincidental meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Don’t you understand what that man is doing? He’s put you in the command crew. You’re fourth in command, you can’t abdicate this. You’re out there on a five year mission!”

“For the first time, the world is seeing us as we should be seen. Not just as beautiful entertainers or domestics. For the first time, there’s a whole human being there.”

“Do you know how important this show is? This is the only television show that my wife Coretta and I allow our little children to stay up and watch.”

“We have enough marchers. We have enough famous people. We need you on the great communicator. We need you on that screen. Because that is 300 years from now. That’s telling the world: it already is.”

I did not leave. And I never looked back.

When Dr. King’s kids grew up I got meet all but one, and each one told me separately and equally, “You know, we didn’t believe our daddy when he came home and told us he met Lieutenant Uhura.” I said, “Did you know who your father was?!” He said, “Yeah, he was out getting beat up.”

Dr. King realized that images are powerful, and that television is educational, whether we like it or not.

Nichelle Nichols will be a guest on The View today (Monday, January 17 at 11:00).

Possibly my favorite story / event of all time.

This little Ackbar is so cute, I don’t even care if it’s a trap! Lemme hug it!

I am trying to figure out a water-tight rationalization that proves why we need this. Looks like the artist created it as a one-of-a-kind gift for someone, so my longing is likely to go unrequited.

“I’m delighted that IDW is doing this adaptation of my book,” says Beagle, “and by the real concern they’ve shown for the integrity of what I wrote. Peter Gillis is a wonderful choice as a scripter —- I couldn’t have done a better job myself —- and Renae and Ray have brought my characters to vivid life. Together with IDW, they are achieving something I honestly hadn’t believed possible.”

Coming in April 2010.

I can’t wait. If the cover art is any example of the quality of the work inside, this is going to be lovely. This has been one of my favorite books for years.

SQUEEEEE! I read this and watched the cartoon movie REPEATEDLY in my tweens and early teens. (A fact which my brothers remind me of frequently.)
