Too Bad

So, for those who came in late: Marc Scott Zicree and I had been nominated for a Hugo award for our episode of Star Trek New Voyages, "World Enough and Time".

We lost.

I suppose I should be gracious and say that it was an honor just to be nominated, (which it was), and that we were up against heavy competition (which we were). But dammit, I really wanted to win. We were up for the Nebula, too, but I never figured we had much of a chance there, due largely to some incredibly picayune nitpicking about our eligibility. The Hugo, however, I thought we had a real shot at.

Ah, well. Too bad -- that rocket ship would’ve looked mighty fine on the mantle next to the Emmy ...
