Greetings and felicitations, my fellow "Wagon Train to the stars" fans! I've found a whole new slew of brand spankin' new ST links on the intertubez, so let's get started with the latest installment.
YouTuber and hardcore Trekkie Ketwolski wonders what would happen within the Star Trek universe if the Earth was destroyed, in this in-depth exposition:

How the Vulcan Mind Meld was created as a response to the network not wanting to show someone being hypnotized, lest the viewers might accidentally become hypnotized themselves:

J.G. Hertzler, who played Martok on DS9, is running for Congress -- and he's doing it in character (but not as the person you might expect):

Producer Alex Kurtzman talks about how Star Trek: Discovery is blurring the line between film and television:

And lastly, you can catch the documentary Remembering Leonard Nimoy (produced & directed by his daughter Julie) on PBS stations across the United States starting November 1st. (This should give you enough time to stock up on Kleenex.) As they say, check your local listings:

I hope you have been enjoying these ST linkstorms. Until next time, friends, LLAP.
