Welcome, everyone, to the Where No One Has Gone Before challenge! I’m looking forward to taking this reading journey with you. I am a huge fan of TOS. I watched the series when it was in first run back in the 60s. I would say that I’m even a snob about it because I’ve never seen any other Star Trek series. (OK, except for Enterprise. But that was for Scott Bakula. 😳)
Aaaaanyway… hope you have fun during the challenge! Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for improvement.
