I'm not old enough to have grown up watching "Star Trek: The Original Series" (missed it by about 20-plus years), but Spock himself is no less a transcendent presence in my life. In an ironic twist on my generational preclusion, my first exposure to Leonard Nimoy came via his appearances on "The Simpsons," in which he played himself. And "The Original Series" wasn't even my second exposure to Nimoy. A little-known actor at the time, Nimoy also appeared in an episode of "The Twilight Zone," a show that I frequently binge-watched as a kid.
