Ah, I remember watching the original Star Trek when I was young -- mostly in syndication, I think. So long, Mr. Spock. You will be missed. Sheldon might be moved to tears, today.

Jim Parsons aka Sheldon Cooper reports that he has not watched any Star Trek in his personal life.

When my daughter had gotten an eye exam late last year, I had put her anxiety about a machine meant to test her eye sight to rest by telling her that she could pretend to be Mr. Spock, who is her favorite Star Trek character. Well, to my absolute surprise, the technician, who couldn't have been thirty yet, had no idea who Mr. Spock was! I had to explain the character, and the actors who played him (Nimoy and Quinto) to the guy.

Fascinating.

I think I would have used longer ellipses, though:

Apparently so. Still, you would have thought he'd have seen the movies.
