Today’s Throwback Thursday post takes us boldly back to where no man had gone before and the original five-year mission of the U.S.S.

That said, her conversation with Zoe (Amy Brenneman), even though it ultimately doesn’t convince her to hit the road with Dan, tells us everything we need to know about the Dan/Zoe relationship.
