    I don't normally comment on articles that tend to be more "announcements" or "FYI's," but I'd like to take a moment and compliment you for the fine work you've done writing this article.

    The presentation of an award may not always be "significant" and the articles about the award tend to feel like just another retelling about a person's career. Not so in this case as I felt you included just the right amount of information about his career and where it may (or may not) be heading after he receives this honor.

    Specifically, I enjoyed how you described the significant of the award, not only in its background and prestige, but also included what it means to Mr. Nimoy. I especially enjoyed the last part where you included his thoughts on Spock and why he took the role. When it comes to an award that is a lifetime achievement type of honor, it's refreshing to hear something new about something a person is so well known for. And I had never heard his take on the character in that regard before.

    This did not feel like "just another article" talking about his career and the impact that Trek had on it. Very enjoyable read. Well done.

    Excellent article Flicky, it is as Soral stated very well written and has a comical twist in there too! I love that link to Bilbo Baggins song! Keep it up Flicky Smile
