Summary
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, "Time's Arrow Part I & II," whatever happens to Data's head in the future is going to happen in the past... which hasn't happened yet. It's time travel in search of neural vampires, plus Mark Twain in search of a decent cigar.
Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
