My Son’s Middle Name Kicks Your Son’s Middle Name’s Ass

Some quick back-story before we set off on this particular five year mission:I have never worn a Star Trek uniform. And I actually can’t remember if the barren world Khan was found on was Seti-Alpha 5 or 7. Also: I don’t agree with the statement that you have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read […]
