• Over at About.com, Julia Houston has posted the latest edition of her weekly column. The latest edition, entitled "Star Trek V: Throwback," looks at the disadvantages of the 22nd century setting of Enterprise. "Looking over this abbreviated list," Houston said, "I can think of only one reason why Paramount went for the idea of a prequel Star Trek -- in fact, I can almost hear the sales pitch now -- and that's that the time period will allow the show to backpedal furiously on the franchise's commitment to political correctness."

• Jim Wright, of Delta Blues fame, has uploaded his review of the Voyager episode, 'Friendship One.' Despite the fact that he felt it was fundamentally a good episode, Wright was taken aback by the last scene. "I'm normally very forgiving when it comes to Voyager," he wrote, "but this is such a philosophical atrocity, and it's presented so close to the end of Voyager's run, that this statement cannot be allowed to go unanswered."

  The complete review, in which the episode is awarded 3 out of a possible 4 stars, can be found here.

  Wright has also uploaded his review of the episode 'Body and Soul,' which he describes as "fun." For the full review, which Wright says is a bit "naughty," head over to Delta Blues.

• StarTrek.com's offical Voyager retrospective section has been updated with reflections by Andre Bormanis, science advisor on the series.

The full interview can be found at StarTrek.com.

• The UPN Voyager summer repeat schedule has been added to the airdate list at PsiPhi. The first episodes to air after the series finale will be 'Imperfection' and 'Shattered.'
