In the Star Trek: Voyager episode, "Prey," the Hirogen are enough of a nightmare for Voyager, but the situation gets more complicated when a stray 8472 shows up looking for refuge. And that battle is almost as tense as the one between Seven and Janeway.

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "For the Cause," it's great to see Captain Sisko settling into a happy relationship with Kasidy Yates - until Odo and Eddington accuse her of smuggling supplies to the Maquis. They'll need to have a talk. Also talking are Garak and the only other Cardassian on DS9, Tora Ziyal - that is unless Kira has her way.

Remember when the people of Earth faced down an environmental disaster... and did something about it? It wasn't science fiction, it was our concern over the disappearing ozone layer, and it grabbed the attention of Star Trek's producers in 1987. The Trek Files welcomes back Dr. Erin Macdonald to talk about the relationship between science advisors and science fiction.

An early merchandising deal comes to Star Trek when Sawyers, Inc. (maker of View-Master) approaches the show. They sent a photographer to set in December 1967 to capture scenes from "The Omega Glory" and launch a line of TOS reels. At least that was the plan. This week, Larry Nemecek and John Champion talk toys on The Trek Files.
