While Darth Maul was an interesting looking character with awesome martial arts skills when he first appeared in 1999's "The Phantom Menace" , he didn't have much of a personality or overarching storyline. All of that changed when the fourth season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" reintroduced this horned fiend to the galaxy! Join me as I explain how Darth Maul became one of my favorite characters due to his appearances in animation...

This week on our show, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the ongoing negotiations between the United Federation of Planets and the Cardassian Union following a destructive war between the two powers. As a result of a new treaty, several Federation colonies along the border must be evacuated so that the Cardassians can take possession. One of these colonies is inhabited a tribe of Native Americans who have sought for many years to establish a permanent home. Captain Picard is tasked with removing these natives "by any means necessary" despite his obvious objections. What will he choose? Join us as we go boldly!

Some very sad news came through a few days ago: The Acolyte has been discontinued after only one season. I will not attempt to guess the reasons nor will I attempt to guess who made the decision.

This week on Random Trek, Captain Ingle and I set a course for one of the most entertaining crossovers in Star Trek history! While investigating a mysterious portal in the 24th century, Ensign Brad Boimler is accidentally sucked not only back in time but also from animation to live-action! This phenomenon deposits him in the time of Captain Pike and the crew of the original USS Enterprise, a group which the young ensign holds in very high regard. How will he get home? Join us as we go boldly!
