Site Columns
By ChristianJanuary 24, 2002 - 3:20 PM
Hello World!
It's been a while since I wrote one of the Site Columns, but as I managed to do two colossally stupid things in a row the other day, both of which affected TrekToday, I figured I'd come apologise here in person.
Firstly, as many of you pointed out, the Tom Bergeron who yesterday announced he would be playing an alien trader in an upcoming Enterprise episode is not in fact the host of the Bob and Tom show - that is Tom Griswold. Bergeron instead was a guest on the radio show. The fault is of course all mine in completely reading over the different last names on the Bob and Tom site.
Secondly, right after posting that news item the server began to slow down immensely, so I decided to restart the server. Unfortunately, what I did instead was shut down the server - and as I then was away for about five hours, all the sites on the server were inaccessible during that time. My apologies for this, too.

-Which Captain would have made a better Emissary than Sisko?

Trek Two Years Ago
Below are some of the most important headlines that appeared on TrekToday on Monday the 24th of January, 2000:
- First 'Professor X' Images - Ain't It Cool News posted the first image of Patrick Stewart as Professor X. At the same time, AICN also posted a rumour report on Series V, in which someone claimed the new Star Trek show would revolve around a group of Section 31 operatives who assimilate a Borg sphere. This obviously turned out to not be the case.
- Hypospray In Mass Production
Reuters reported that a company called PowderJect would be producting a Trek-like hypospray beginning in early 2002. - Season Six On Dutch TV
I was ecstatic about the news that Dutch TV would start showing Voyager's season six in a few days, meaning we would be only a few days behind American TV. Of course, after that we had to wait two years for the seventh season, which only started showing this week in the Netherlands, so my enthusiasm was premature.
