It’s difficult to believe that it took us this long to get around to doing a Star Trek joke. Â It must be difficult for actors like Levar Burton who have quite a varried career, but are forever known as one character or another to millions. Â Then again, he’s been rewarded handsomely for this tribulation, so maybe being known as the blind guy who works on engines isn’t so bad?

Of course, things like this never work out in real life. Â I’d love to be the blind cartoonist who suffers the indignity of being known as such.
