I just had a strange encounter on my TV box. I was wasting time with an episode of "Starship Voyager" called "Timeship 'Relativity'". (I hope that conforms with the original english title. It was on german television and, obviously, translated.) The theme of that episode, originally from 2000, I think, was a temporal paradoxon on bord of the Voyager. It has to be resolved by a time-guarding police the Federation has established 500 years in the future.

So far, this would be common SciFi themes. Hey, they didn't even call them "Chronoguard". But then, the Commander of the Timeship was revealed as having the name Captain Braxton. Further, he will be had gone rougue (you know how it is with temporal correct grammar...) after he is degraded and sent back to the 20th century on a three decade banishment.

After that, I was waiting minutely for him to start to play golf...

Well, what do you think? Is Braxton on a character exchange? Was someone doing illegal plot device trading? Or is Jasper simply the same Strar Trek nut as everyone else?

Where chronoguard is concerned, it could be difficult to figure out which came first!

Metaphors be with you!

Wasn't that basically the plot for the first season of the ill-fated "Enterprise" series?
Plain, unabashed time-traveling, I mean. Which generally indicates that star trek writers are out of ideas.

Um? Game?

How depressing. What happened to the glory days of Captain Kirk?!

You wants it? How Gollum-esque!

Personally, I think that mayhap they should just let Jasper write any new Star Trek stuff... even if it is on a time travelling theme, he can at least give it a new and original lease of life..and it will be funny, too..
