Spock, Leonard Nimoy, Babylon 5, Bambi, Zombies of the Stratosphere, Mork & Mindy, Dark Shadows, Roswell, Alien Nation, The Rocketeer, Quantum Leap.

It was great to have seen Leonard Nimoy last year at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. He was nice enough to tell us that our show was the 3rd best he had ever been too. The other two ahead of us were shows in Europe. We hope Shatner can give us the same rave reviews this year.


Enjoy !!!
