I was an only child and went through some lonely times that crew Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov they were more then just characters to me somehow, they where my friends. I'm not nearly as big of a fan when I was little.... back then they got me through some tough stuff

ArmedGnome37564, I agree. I still love Star Trek! I love all of the iterations from the original series, all the follow up series, all the movies and even the new Star Trek Discovery series. More into Star Trek than Star Wars :)

MuscularDemigod69239, Why do you feel the necessity to tear people apart just because they make a small mistake? You're far, far from perfection yourself!

Player #8156562, Uhura’s first name was never mentioned in the original series. It came about in the recent movie series, and is frequently used in Strange New Worlds.

Gryphon, I to am also an only child & was a "latch key kid" (before the word was Even invented) cause my Mama had (3) jobs at the time & would always be gone trying to keep on keeping me on & so you said it all for me!

When I was a teen I wrote to DeForest Kelly and he wrote back to me . I was so happy, I wasn't sure if he would have time to write. Very nice man. He played Dr.Mccoy.

I am still waiting for the 'Replicater' to get some Gooey Butter Cake, but will settle for a Tri-corder. If that fails I will flip the phaser from kill to stun and ...

I'm a big fan of old western movies. DeForest Kelley, William Shatner and even Leonard Nimoy played in old black and white westerns.

Lillian , watch Chris Pine in Star Trek. That time line will tell you why he is call Bones. It is funny. Star Trek teaches so great moral lesson.

Although, I remember him in the role as the Dr., I didn’t recall hearing the nickname. Respectfully, the show was before my time (not by much 🤣). Of course I’ve seen re-runs, I don’t recall ever hearing the name. What I do remember is, the character’s “dad jokes” & cheesy expressions.
