Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 11:24AM You know, as this episode begins, I realized they could get a lot more science done if they would just ignore distress signals. Starfleet really should have some vessels out there just to deal with distress signals. This week's signal comes from a strangely familiar place. Or is it?
Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 6:00AM We've made it to Episode Seven, and you know, it really feels like Kirk and company are starting to get comfortable on the Enterprise.

Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 6:00AM Welcome to the fourth installment of Star Trek Saturday. This episode starts uncharacteristically, with a shot of blue skies and mountains.
