Punch It 103 - Voyage Into Darkness
What if the Voyager crew was in Star Trek Into Darkness? Last week we did a "what if" with the Voyager crew and Star Trek 09. Long story short it ended up being a kick-ass Voyager: The Next Generation. Miral and Naomi are commanding the Voyager-A...
Punch It 102 - Voyager: The Next Generation
What if Star Trek 09 had the cast of Voyager instead? This is a way out there idea that was a lot of fun to talk about. The concept is simple and followed the same idea as last week. Take a Star Trek movie and replace the crew from another show....
