I thought I recognised the name; he wrote four of my favourite Star Trek episodes. I shall definitely give this a look.
One thing I noticed is that shot of the Earth at 1:16. Just about every time a shot of the Earth from space is shown in film and television, that same picture taken from Apollo XVII is used. I recognise it instantly; I used to have a wall-sized (well, nearly) poster of it in my bedroom when I was younger. I wonder if it's an in-joke or something - a photographic Wilhelm Scream?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
