Last week, I told what’s basically the first part of a larger storyline for my hypothetical Starfleet Academy show. One of the cadets, Herschel Williamson, has been used by a shadowy organization to create a large amount of an unstable material called Omega. At the end of the last season,…
In the opening stories of John’s gospel, we have a curious story about how He called two of His disciples, namely Philip and Nathanael. After Jesus called Philip, Philip found his friend Nathanael and told him, basically, “We’ve found Him! We’ve found the Messiah, the one that we’ve waited for…
Here’s where the rubber hits the road, folks. Like I said last week, I don’t have a lot in mind when it comes to storylines for my hypothetical show, Starfleet Academy. But as I thought about it, a bunch of different potential threads pulled together into what I think could…
