Laurie Ulster, who somehow survived her confusing adolescence as the lone female Star Trek fan in middle school, is a transplanted Canadian living in New York. After many years as a TV producer, overseeing everything from interviewing musicians in East Village bars to game shows in Malaysia, she also became a freelance writer, whose favorite subject is - of course - television.
