0:00.0	Mission Log supplementalal Number 32. I'm Can Ray and I'm John Champion.
0:27.0	Today we mark a sad anniversary in a sort of a happy way. It was the 27th of February 2015 that we lost Leonard Newmway.
0:38.0	And unbeknownst to most of us at the time, he was actually in the middle of a project.
0:43.4	Yeah, he and his son Adam had started developing a documentary specifically about Spock.
0:49.8	Then of course with Leonard's passing, the tone of the documentary shifted a bit.

1:46.7	Sounds about right.
1:47.7	Yeah.
1:48.7	Really fun episode, really good. Not based on the Isaac Asimov I-Robot. Was it you who wanted to bring
1:59.3	in your father to do that role? Well it was originally my dad's idea. We had both written the
2:07.0	trades that they were going to be rebooting that series on Showtime and my dad was in an episode entitled I Robot in the early 60s and he thought
2:18.3	it might be an interesting idea if we have remade that episode together.
2:22.3	It would help me launch my directing career and get me another
