Paramount+ announced last week that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had the strongest debut ever for a “Star Trek” series, setting a new record as the most-watched original series in the franchise over its first 90 days.
I grew up watching Star Trek reruns on TV and watched the movies on repeat through elementary, middle and high school. Spock was an iconic character from the future brought to life in only the way Leonard Nimoy could have done. I had wanted to meet him in person, but sadly was never afforded the chance. The way I view the world was largely shaped by this practical and logical (sometimes even playful) character in a fictitious science fiction universe. I'm sad to see him gone.
