I'm just finishing up the original Star Trek series. After going where no man has gone before, there's plenty more Star Trek to enjoy after. But as I work my way through The Next Generation and "make it so", it's important to keep things moving and stay active. So here's my latest geek workout to get a little mobility out of your Star Trek episodes.
