In today’s obituary pages…

Film and TV director Joseph Pevney has died at 96. Bein’ a geek, I immediately recognized his work on the original “Star Trek”. He directed several of my favorite episodes ever: “Amok Time“, “Arena” and “The City on the Edge of Forever“. And of course, he also directed “The Trouble with Tribbles“. So hoist a tribble and take a moment to remember yet another person who helped shape modern geek culture.

Were it not for “The Trouble with Tribbles” I might not be a die-hard Trekkie today. “Amok Time,” “Journey to Babel” and “The City on the Edge of Forever” not only rank amongst my favorite Star Trek episodes, but amongst the best Star Trek episodes, period.
Thank you, Mr. Pevney, from yet another person whom your work has heavily influenced.
