A brand new 'Hey, Star Trek!' from our buddy Jerad Formby is fresh off the presses.  This time Jerad reminds us all why we should be watching Voyager.

So you’ve been knocking around the Internet behind your co-workers’ backs looking for more information about Star Trek. You know there’s a lot of it and you’re not sure where to start. You delve into Trekcast and have been following this blog in order to get “cool” and “in the know” information of just how to start any of the Star Trek series.

Voyager was the fourth show to be created and it appeared right when Star Trek: The Next Generation went off the air.
