THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER? UPN decided to attack a two bird problem with a single stone: corporate synergy. Does special guest star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson boost a Seven of Nine storyline in the 6th season of Star Trek: Voyager? According to Nielsen ratings, yes, it did, making "Tsunkatse" the highest rated episode of that season.
With Kristen away, Bryan has on two of his favorite Twitter follows: @andymoney69, now a writer-director of the Award-winning short film TITO, which you can watch on YouTube (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10yvDxNw-x0), and @FanSince09, the greatest Philadelphia Phillies & Eagles fan since 2009. The pair had previously hosted the parody baseball conspiracy theory podcast and are just two massive professional wrestling fans.
Pro wrestling and Star Trek fandom are a crucial Venn Diagram overlap here as this episode features The Rock just before his stardom ascends into the mainstream. Does all the wrestling stuff work in this episode where Seven of Nine must fight for hers and Tuvok's survival, or do Andy & FanSince see through the Star Trek-ian attempt to give this cynical corporate merging of IP some dramatic heft?
