Ok, bring it on. Make fun of me. You know you want to. Anyway–I use this cheesy title to express the fact that Kirk is back. And not just in *my* dreams. I’m saying there is a total borg-esque trend of kirk-iness, waiting to take over everyone! Here is [...]

The answer to my cryptic crossword (that Kristy got on facebook!) is…..
