A Christmas Tour: To Boldly Go

The Round Table with Linus and the old snowman highlights the '50s and '60.

"Just in the nick of time. Mr. Spock. Data. What happened?"

"It appears we were hung in an unstable system."

"I agree, Mr. Spock. They failed to account for the influence the television's magnetic field would have on our ability to maneuver the pepper light field."

"Whatever. Can you get us safely back to Victorian Times?"
