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. Enterprise. The first episode of Star Trek produced after its two pilot episodes, “The Corbomite Maneuver” was the tenth episode aired due to the number of special effects involved in the episode. It will mark the first, but certainly not the last, time a ship bearing the name Enterprise would come across something unusual in space. In “The Corbomite Maneuver” that turns out to be an unusual cube blocking the ship’s path. Unable to remove the ship from the path of the cube, and being bombarded with radiation, Kirk (William Shatner) orders the destruction of the cube which leads to all new problems for the crew of the Enterprise after they begin to search for the origins of the crew.

The Terminal List – The Engram

  • Title: The Terminal List – The Engram
  • IMDb: link

The first episode of The Terminal List introduces us to Lieutenant Commander James Reece (Chris Pratt) and the operation overseas to take down a terrorist which goes bad, leaving almost all of his men dead. Reece gets his bell rung during the ambush by the locals, showing signs of a severe concussion throughout the remainder of the episode and setting him up as an unreliable narrator for what will follow. After returning home, Reece’s accounts conflict with the audio recordings of the missing, leading him to believe someone has doctored the mission logs (but we are never given a viable reason why someone would do this as events aren’t changed overall, only the member of the unit who triggered the trap is different than Reece’s recollections).

  • Title: Fairfax – Career Day
  • IMDb: link

Career Day comes to Fairfax and, not unexpectedly, things quickly get out of control. While both Derica (Kiersey Clemons) and Benny (Peter S. Kim) get interns with Girlbossier, and Derica is quickly fast-tracked as the new urban look for the company, Dale (Skyler Gisondo) gets assigned to Off-Brian and Truman (Jaboukie Young-White) has an unexpected reunion with Cerise (Camila Mendes) in the AI world of Welch’s. Each one has their own separate adventure, although Derica’s is the most notable for blackmailing the CEO (Annie Murphy) of the company for real change rather than just the appearance the corporation was all too pleased with.
