    Steve Shives analyzes the Star Trek: The Original Series backdoor
    pilot, Assignment: Earth. This episode follows the Enterprise crew as
    they travel to 1968 and encounter a mysterious human agent working to
    prevent a global catastrophe, offering a unique look at a proposed
    spin-off that never materialized.

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    I would have watched that spinoff, but this host is annoying. What's
    with all the pointless crudity? It's distracting.

    Several people in the comments are noting similarities between
    Assignment: Earth and Doctor Who.
