Ah, the second day of Shore Leave. Today looks to be exciting and jam-packed.<\/p>\n
The panel I’m most anticipating today is at eleven–“The Original USS Enterprise<\/i>, the early American Navy, and the Life of Horatio Hornblower.” I don’t know what this is, but I know that, just from the panel’s topic alone, I’ll be glued to a seat. Star Trek<\/i> was said by Roddenberry to be “Horatio Hornblower in space,” and though it’s not always true there are some broad similarities between Star Trek<\/i> and the Age of Fighting Sail.<\/p>\n
What else? Perhaps “Has Star Trek<\/i> Fiction Gone Too Far?” at three. I can think of some drive-by questions to ask at this panel, absolutely. Yes. Yes, I can. People’s heads will spin. \ud83d\udc7f<\/p>\n
The rest of the day? The Masquerade, obviously, tonight. After that, hanging out in the bar with friends. A couple of other panels to take in, certainly. And I may<\/i> need a nap.<\/p>\n
