Number two CBR asks did Star Trek Deep Space Nine's James Bond parody go too far? I personally loved the episodes, but apparently MGM had a different point of view. Number 3.

Number four, with lower decks ending, strange new worlds premiering and the rumors of a new star trek kelvin timeline movie, it's a hectic time for star trek fans.
