Comments on: Star Trek: Any starboard in a storm http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/05/13/star-trek-any-starboard-in-a-storm/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

What, the crew wasn’t affected by this phenomenon? Second, Spock announces that, while Christopher himself doesn’t do any history-making acts, his son will lead the first manned expedition to Saturn. Christopher’s reaction to such an astounding feat? “A son! I’m going to have a son!” “Nitpicker’s Guide to Star Trek” probably has a lot more. Bradley547: I’m pretty sure that by the 23rd century, rishathra will be legal. Elwood Herring: Love the lyrics! I’ve caught only a few of the remastered episodes, but what I’ve seen, I like. It blends in. Now, if they insert Jadzia Dax and Benjamin Sisko into “The Trouble With Tribbles,” I don’t know whether to be annoyed or impressed.
