Why Star Trek is different from other fandoms

I've been feeling a little mad at Trek lately, what with the delay in starting the new movie and the general lack of urgency about giving anything to the franchise. Lucky for me, two of my favorite people on the planet decided to get together and do this:

That's like....like two of my geek icons together.

I KNOW. And they have as much fun with each other as you'd expect. To be a fly on that wall...

I'm fed up with the whole thing too - seriously, I need Trek like crack and I do not want to go into re-hab, thank you! I've bookmarked this for later perusal, thanks!

J.J. really needs to get away from the distractions of career and family and focus on what's REALLY important...

Sadly, it's only audio--you'll just have to let your imagine do the visuals! Hope you enjoy it, though.

How long is the interview? I haven't listened yet, but I also think that think this calls for a transcription like, right now.

It's 45 minutes with everything, but that includes the intro and non-Trek talk. It does include the long-form version of the Dr. King story, which is fantastic, and which I'd love to see a transcription of, oh yes please!

Oh, this is going to do both my soul and my mind good. *delights*

And she still has the voice of an angel, too ♥

It makes me sad, though, to think that the people she inspired are entering the later stages of their careers.
