There’s a lot of fan crossover between Star Trek and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. In fact, the world’s first consulting detective makes a few cameos in our favorite science fiction series. Robert Stek and Monica Schmidt are Star Trek fans who also happen to belong to The Baker Street Irregulars, America’s preeminent Sherlock Holmes society. They joined me to talk about Sherlock and Star Trek.

In part 2, we observe Brent Spiner (Data) and Daniel Davis' (Moriarty) performances and deduce why there is so much fan crossover between the two properties.

You know him as “Dr. Trek,” but how much do you really know about Larry Nemecek? How did he discover Star Trek? Why was he asked to create the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion? And what is his reaction to the news that the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror is giving the TNG cast a Lifetime Achievement Award?
