appeared genuinely touched by the award, saying:
“I’m so grateful, thank you. The Saturn Award and the Academy of Science Fiction, Horror, and Fantasy is the one academy voting body that actually gets me. You’re my people and I thank you dearly from the bottom of my heart for that. Other shows are great but this is the one that I’ve always coveted.
Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise; thank you and the entire writers’ room, for giving me such luscious material and a layered character with depth that is unusual for an alien—so I thank you for letting me be Saru.
Also to my makeup team. It takes a village to make a Kelpian. Everyone at Alchemy Labs: Glenn Hetrick and Neville Page, James MacKinnon and the entire team in the season two makeup trailer, I would not be as pretty as I am without you.”

I typically earn something like 6,000 to 8,000 US dollars each and every 30 days on the net. Haven’t you understood that the future is in the internet arena whether is online advertising or just working for businesses that are based and employ online employees. If you do not do it today you may always regret it sooner or later you’ll be force to make the switch but you won’t be in the driver’s chair any longer. What exactly are the advantages to having the ability to generate money on the web? Well there are a few. For one there’s increased capacity to automate and are working even while, you’re sleeping. You also don’t have to work at the uncomfortable and typical work environment. You can work when you want and this includes more flexibility to take that needed vacation whenever. You can work where you want–at home, in the library, in the coffee shop, at your cottage, or in your Caribbean cruise. Other huge benefits to a”earn money online” type of job are that you don’t need to worry about product whether or not storage, supply, tech support, you name it. So this sounds great ? Oh. . .you think the first risk of quitting your job to make money online is too high? Well then do not quit your job! You can easily maintain both a standard job and an internet income at precisely the same time and you’ll find very soon that you have nothing to fear. So please do not wait, today is your chance to beat the mad rush and in the speed that makes you comfortable. ->->->-> ya.mba/2Wq

To hell with the Canon Extremists, I loved season two of Discovery! I’ll really miss Anson Mount and Ethan Peck, though. Can’t wait for season three!
