Half-full

Leonard Nimoy's last tweet* echoed the ironic humanism of his Vulcan alter-ego, the hopefulness of his boss, and the optimism of this old post:

“A lot of science-fiction is nihilistic and dark and dreadful about the future, and ‘Star Trek’ is the opposite,” Mr. Nimoy said. “We need that kind of hope, we need that kind of confidence in the future. I think that’s what ‘Star Trek’ offers. I have to believe that — I’m the glass-half-full kind of guy.”
