Discworld, Mondo Disco. Cos’è? È un mondo a forma di disco che viaggia sulla schiena di quattro elefanti in piedi su una tartaruga gigante (Great A’Tuin) che vaga per lo spazio, naturalmente.

It’s as simple as that: Robert Picardo makes everything better. Projections is yet another episode in which the holodeck malfunctions and endangers the lives of the crew. Been there, done that. Do you remember Heroes and Demons? This time the episode works a little better, both thanks to Picardo and to the numerous plot twists. … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E03, Projections
