PREVIOUS SHOW RECAP (The Vulcan Halo – S5E9, Nov. 10, 2017)
The crew of the USS Hummingbird visited a strange, inhabited moon. The very intelligent plant life were bored with their life as the sole authors of Earth’s fan-fiction. Tachyon Field finds out his missteps aboard the USS Albatross are now considered required learning at the Academy.
We were treated to non-Trekkie jokes from comedians Hisham Kelati, Cassie Cao and cat butt puppet and tiny piano songs from musicians Ingrid Hansen & Steve Chmilar.
LAUGH LONG AND PROSPER!
The Dandies boldly go where no one has gone before: Holodeck Follies – Canada’s only Star Trek parody for Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike! The Dandies improvise a new Star Trek episode based on audience suggestion and interaction.
