Trek1701: Trek Stars We Have Lost...

·2 hr 20 min·9 clips

I did meet him. He was really cool.

Chris Lockhart opens the show and brings in Ray, Ragnar, and Stephanie. The crew starts with a casual check-in before settling into the main topic. Ray says his summer was pretty uneventful. The others reflect on how quickly the season has gone and how odd it feels to already be at the end of September. From there, the conversation turns toward Star Trek figures the fandom has lost. Leonard Nimoy becomes the central name in the discussion. The hosts talk about how hearing of his death felt at the time. One of them says that even after a decade it still does not feel that far away. They describe him as one of the few people so closely tied to Star Trek that losing him felt like losing part of the franchise itself. A memory comes up about meeting Adam Nimoy at Vulcan, Alberta. That story includes the handprint and bust of Leonard Nimoy that are part of the place's Trek tribute. The hosts remember Adam Nimoy as genuinely glad to be there. They also talk about autograph policies at bigger conventions. Their point is practical and familiar: reselling had become such a problem that paid signatures made sense. That detail leads back into the wider culture around Trek events and fan gatherings. The tone stays warm and conversational throughout. The panel keeps circling back to what Leonard Nimoy meant on a personal level. The discussion moves between sadness, nostalgia, and the simple truth that certain performers anchor whole eras of fandom. The episode widens from one actor to the larger idea of stars who are gone. It closes the same way it began, as a friendly group of fans speaking directly to the listener.
