With Kyle in the CS lunchroom. Mr Cranky sums it up well: "You know that impending terrorist attack they've been warning us about? I think this movie may be it."

With Kyle in the CS lunchroom while marking Functional Programming assignments. William Shatner fans should check out Shatner: Has Been. Incidentally this was the first Trek I ever saw, back on daytime TV in 1991 or so.
