There’s a lot of fan crossover between Star Trek and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. In fact, the world’s first consulting detective makes a few cameos in our favorite science fiction series. Robert Stek and Monica Schmidt are Star Trek fans who also happen to belong to The Baker Street Irregulars, America’s preeminent Sherlock Holmes society. They joined me to talk about Sherlock and Star Trek.
In part 1, we investigate Spock's ancestry and Leonard Nimoy's connection to Holmes.
