Help Me Become An Andromeda Fan!

So I admit it — I know very little about Andromeda, the Gene Roddenberry-inspired series that featured Kevin Sorbo in a tight uniform. I’ve seen a couple of episodes, years ago, and read bits and pieces here and there. But lately, I’ve gotten more curious — the show’s writing staff includes Star Trek: Deep Space…

What Would Shatner Have Done in the Near Future’s Past?

With Leonard Nimoy playing such an important role in J.J Abrams’ reboot of the Trek series, what happened to an appearance from Kirk Prime?
