Ever since I was a kid, I have been awed by the imaginative world Gene Roddenberry created. Recently, I boarded a flight to LA to discover that the man in the empty seat beside me was the one and only William Shatner, having himself just returned from space. I could barely put two words together, but ultimately I managed to say hello, and we chatted. I&#8217;m not one who usually believes in fate, but this was more than a coincidence. And of course, I had to get a picture. So thanks, Mr. Shatner, for the good company. And for seating us together, my thanks to the great bird in the sky. Can&#8217;t wait for all of you to see our Captain Kirk on your screens.&#8221;<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                            <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/9staqrmGVSkLeXREG7V3sDLtru95Jz.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/9staqrmGVSkLeXREG7V3sDLtru95Jz.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1851\" height=\"975\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Filming Wraps\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Filming Wraps\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61f11d8b40dd4-Screen Shot 2022-01-26 at 2.06.55 AM.png?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Rebecca Kaplan<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(111 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Rebecca Kaplan (she\/he) has a JD and an MS but believes comics do more good than law.
