Devil in the Dark




When my husband Mark was growing up, he idolized Spock. He wanted to be just like him. He is a star trek fan but gratefully is not obsessed with it. I, on the other hand, have never been able to make it through on episode. Mark tries to tell me what great principles are manifest in Star Trek, I still can't make it through an episode (kinda like MASH-- I actually have tried and forced myself to watch it just to see if I could do it and I absolutely cannot do it.) Anyway, someone else in our family has come to love Star Trek now-- Tai. Mark and Tai will sit together and watch an episode and he will explain every little thing and all of the Treki terminology and it almost makes me cringe like Mr. Burns on the Simpsons. So now, Tai will come up and talk to me about Mr. Spock, or Khan? I don't know something like that... Then I have to call Mark at work to see what the heck she is talking about and what episode she wants to watch. I now know her favorite is "Devil in the Dark".

According to the most cutting edge scientific research you have about 1 and a half more years to shape Tai's personality. Just sayin. That must be fun for Mark!
