Biiiiig spoof on Star Trek and Trek Fandom.  Opens with the cast 
(-doohan) on an enterprise-looking modified planet express ship.  The 
usual bunch on on trial for visiting the forbidden planet where all of 
the old Star Trek episodes were sent after the Trek church was banned in 
the 23rd century. It boils down to a huge rip on trek, with The original 
bunch (-doohan?? and Kelly (dead)).

Just a generally great episode.  The actors really made it a riot.  
There was also a brief tribute to 'Space: 1999" in there as well. :-)
