Johansson A Walkabout down Inspiration Lane, Via TV Land Boredom and apathy are two of the greatest foes of creation. Still, I run into them from time to time, even in projects that I absolutely love. With me, it isn’t generally a symptom of a project gone wrong or one that …

Posted on March 14 2015 by Shara Lane

He’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and I love him as if he were a real person. My fondness for Star Trek began when I was a little girl. I remember sitting on my dad’s lap watching Saturday Star Trek marathons. We bonded over it and I grew to love the show as much as he did. With …
