Star Trek Tribute Plans

This is a list of episodes that deal with disability in Star Trek. Starting tomorrow, I’ll review each one and discuss it. It’s a Star Trek Tribute. Disability…the final frontier. These are the writings of The blog Through Alien Eyes! Her ongoing mission: to seek out new disabilities events and new narrative experiences…to boldly go where no able body has gone before! (Cue any Trek theme except ENT.)
Where to start? The library of course! Please support public libraries!
