Star Trek’s 50th Anniversary
Space, The Final Frontier…. It has been fifty years since Gene Roddenberry first showed the world his idea of a bright and wonderful future.

Revisiting Voyager

My first exposure to the show was in syndication a few years ago, but I never was able toContinue reading “Revisiting Voyager”
