I am such a geek!!

I was watching Diagnosis: Murder this afternoon and as it started I saw the credits saying that George Takei was guest starring (anyone out there not know that he played Sulu in the original Star Trek series and films?). As I watched I got more and more geekily (word?) excited as I saw a guy who looked like Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation, indeed it was him. Then there was a guy in shadows and I thought, that sounds like Walter Koenig (who played Chekov in the original Star Trek, and was in Babylon 5), and again I was right.
If that wasn't freaky enough, having them all in one episode of an episode of Diagnosis: Murder called "Alienated" about possible alien abduction, I then saw Grace Lee Whitney, who played Yeoman Janice Rand in the original series (I'm not THAT much of a geek, as I had to look up her real name). In the same scene was Majel Barrett, who played Lwaxana Troi in The Next Generation and DS9, was the female computer voice in TNG, DS9 and Voyager, and was married to Gene Roddenberry!
Finally there was also Bill Mumy, who appeared in DS9, and Babylon 5, but is most famous for being Will Robinson in Lost in Space (the original black and white series).
All these famous sci-fi stars, all acting with Barry van Dyke (who you may remember starred in the Battlestar Galactica television series ion the early '80's!)

Sci-Fi geek heaven!!
"Yes! I am such a geek!"
