I saw every episode of the original Star Trek many, many times when I was a kid, and I know it well. I swore I'd never review it; it's been done so many times, and it's such a daunting task. But the 2009 movie got me renting the digitally remastered version of original Trek that came out recently, with re-recorded music and new, faithfully recreated special effects. And I just found myself writing reviews. It's a sickness, I know.

These reviews include commentary by Ben P. Duck, an old friend that I actually met through Star Trek. Thanks, Ben.
