Main Mission
This time around, we will be talking about “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.”
Warpspeed Roundtable
Last time we asked:
What day do you think should be “Star Trek” Day?
The results of our fan poll:
67% “April 5th (First Contact Day)
33% September 8 (TOS premiere date)
Two comments:
Ken suggested August 19th, Gene Roddenberry’s birthday
Melissa points out “There’s an episode of TNG where Troi refers to a variation of poker as Federation Day because Aces and 5s are wild. April 5th. Works for me.”
This time, we want to know: Who would you recast as Balock?
