For four seasons, he portrayed the NX-01's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Phlox and today he stops by to talk a little bit about the 20th Anniversary of Star Trek: Enterprise. In addition, we'll talk to him about an organization he's passionate about: the Hollywood Food Coalition! They've been feeding the homeless in the Los Angeles area for nearly 35 years and the organization has never missed a night. Plus, Dan throws out an idea that is pretty awesome--and something you'll be hearing more about very soon!

 The Enterprise arrives at the planet Sarpeidon which is about to be destroyed by a supernova. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to investigate and are trapped in a planet's distant past--where Kirk is accused of being a witch and Spock finds love (or something) with an exiled woman. We'll discuss why we love this episode despite its obvious quirks and plot holes. Where does Spock think he's going to get seeds? Why doesn't McCoy regress? And what the hell happens to that cart once it goes through the Atavachron portal, anyway? Join Bill & Dan for All Our Yesterdays, this week on The Flagship!

We hope you'll enjoy this Best of Trek Geeks episode--or enjoy it again! We'll be back with new episodes soon!
