Mr. Spock is no more. Our favorite eye-shadowed Vulcan has passed on to the place where everything is logical.
I
confess, I haven’t thought of Star Trek in many years. In high
school, I was a devotee of the original series. In college, I really dug The Next
Generation with Patrick Stewart and his sexy bald head.
Nowadays, I’m into Downton Abbey. Season Five has just come to a close and we, the fans, are staring down the barrel of its last year. I have loved every minute of Downton Abbey, just as I did
Star Trek all those years ago. That got me wondering how I could enjoy such vastly different
dramas. As it turns out, they’re not so different. Read on and see if you
agree!
