This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
The Ferengi have popped up a few times before on "Star Trek: Lower Decks." Back in last season's "Hear All, Trust Nothing," when the USS Cerritos visited Deep Space Nine, we got to check back in on everyone's favorite bartender Quark (Armin Shimerman). In this season's latest outing, "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place," we again meet his younger brother, Rom (Max Grodénchik). Continuing on from where "Deep Space Nine" left off, Rom is the Grand Nagus (Chief Executive) of Ferenginar.
Why is the Cerritos visiting the Ferengi homeworld? Because Rom has plans to bring his homeworld into the Federation. This is quite an about-face for the Ferengi. They were introduced as villains in season 1 of "The Next Generation," but poor reception turned them into comic nuisances. It was "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" that gave them depth, and...

When it first began airing in 1993, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" was instantly considered a notable oddball in the broader "Star Trek" canon. For one, it was the first Trek project that was made completely outside of the auspices of Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Also, being set on a space station, there was going to be considerably less trekking on "Deep Space Nine" than had been previously seen in the franchise. Additionally, the show was to follow the politics and social intricacies of worlds that did not belong to Trek's famed United Federation of Planets. That meant the franchise's notable and vaunted post-war, post-religion, post-capitalist utopia was going to be challenged by those who believed in war (the Cardassians), in theocracy (the Bajorans), and in capitalism (the Ferengi). "Deep Space Nine" stood as a deliberate challenge to the Treks that preceded it. Can Roddenberry's ideals stand when those who abide by them are outnumbered?...

Sunrise, Wyoming March 5 1861 Two men engage in a showdown and one is Dean (Jensen Ackles) in cowboy attire. The clock strikes high noon. The Supernatural opening is similar to Bonanza. 48 Hours earlier Sam (Jared Padalecki) searches the cellar for books etc for anything to help them with Eve. Bobby (Jim Beaver) mentions Phoenix and Dean asks, "Is that River, Joaquin or the flaming bird." "Ashes of the mother can burn the mother." "...killed a phoenix today and left a pile of flaming ash." That's from Samuel Colt's journal. Dean doesn't share the journal and he actually found what they needed too. So much for Sam being the geek, ha. "Star Trek IV the bitch," is Dean's suggestion. "Save the whales, go back in time and hunt the Phoenix." Obviously no one knows the plot of the film. Dean knows someone who can do it. Cas - "I dream...

Supernatural (TV) will end its fifth season on May 13 with "Swan Song," which promises the ultimate showdown between good and evil, with Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) surely caught in the middle of it all. But official word is that a "beloved character" will perish in the hour. Could that be Castiel (Misha Collins)? Might it be the brothers' hot wheels, their 1967 Chevy Impala? Or maybe it's Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver), the boys' ally, father figure and friend, who's doomed to perish? During a recent exclusive interview, Beaver -- a veteran character actor, playwright, and screenwriter whom audiences will also remember as Ellsworth on Deadwood (TV) -- slyly refused to tip his hand about Bobby's fate. You came on Supernatural (TV) near the end of season one. How surprised -- or not -- are you that both the show and Bobby have stuck around so long? I'm not surprised.
