00:18 Intro
A brief intro to Uncle George and how, to me, he’ll always be Mr. Sulu. Of course, you probably also know him as a social media giant and human rights activist.
01:02 The Q&A
George Takei speaking to the fans and taking a few questions.
39:50 News
Sadly, we missed Montreal Comic Con. I whine for a moment in hopes that someone captured some audio. I have found a teensy bit of video online, but not nearly enough. I also mention that we’re planning to attend Quinte Mini Con.
40:27 Geekness & The Real World
Where I share my thoughts on online activism―slacktivism as it’s often referred to―and why it’s actually a good thing.
32:14 Anime Corner
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. The first of the Studio Ghibli films, before there was even a Studio Ghibli, and unquestionably a masterpiece of animation spearheaded by Miyazaki Hayao. There’s a manga too, and I suddenly need to read it.
