The reptile demon Saleel (Dominic Fumusa) is methodically killing leprechauns and stealing their gold, the better to spread bad luck throughout the world. When Paige (Rose McGowan) comes to the rescue of leprechaun Seamus Fitzpatrick (Mark Povinelli), the little man rewards the Charmed Ones with more good luck than they can ever possibly handle! Perhaps inevitably, this plot development leads to a musical performance by guest star Pat Benatar. ~ All Movie Guide

The fifth weekly TV series in the indefatigable Star Trek franchise, Enterprise took the viewer "back to where it all began" (or so read the promotional copy). Set 100 years in the future -- yet still 150 years before the "original" Star Trek series -- the new show charted the origins of the starship Enterprise, beginning with the first close encounter between humans and Klingons. Brought to Starfleet Medical after crash-landing in a rural area, the injured Klingon Klaang is treated with hostility by the attending Vulcan physicians, something that the earthling staffer cannot understand. Pioneering Starfleet pilot Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), skipper of the recently constructed Enterprise starship, volunteers to take Klaang back to his home planet of Kronos. The continuity proper begins when Klaang is kidnapped en route by the genetically enhanced Sulibans, prompting Archer and his crew to embark upon the first of many bold forays into "where no man has gone before." Much of the series' entertainment value was engendered by displays of "primitive" pre-Federation equipment and paraphernalia, with new technology being introduced with each passing week -- new, that is, to those three or four people who have never seen any of the various Star Trek incarnations. Featured in the cast were Jolene Blalock as Archer's somewhat condescending Vulcanian first officer, T'Pol; John Billingsley as brilliant Vulcan medical doctor Phlox; Linda Park as hyper-kinetic linguistics expert Ensign Hoshi Sato; Connor Trinnear as wisecracking good-ol’-boy engineer Trip Tucker ; Dominic Keating as weapons expert Malcolm Reed; and Anthony Montgomery as navigator Travis Mayweather. Making its much-anticipated UPN premiere as a two-hour special on September 26, 2001, Enterprise settled into its standard 60-minute weekly length thereafter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Borg children introduced in the earlier episode "Collective" figure prominently in this story, in which Voyager crew person Ens. Lindsay Ballard (Kim Rhodes) is brought back from death via genetic engineering developed by the Kobali. Though grateful for this new lease on life, Ballard has a lot of difficulty adjusting, especially since she no longer knows if she is Kobali or human. Meanwhile, Seven of Nine's (Jeri Ryan) latent maternal instincts are stirred when she is placed in charge of the Borg youngsters. "Ashes to Ashes" was originally broadcast on March 1, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Voyager crew finds itself locked in an orbit around a primitive planet. Though time passes normally on the ship, several centuries go by on the planet's surface -- during which period a tribal society develops, worshipping the orbiting "star" as the manifestation of an omnipotent Greater Power. The dilemma: If the crew does not break free of the planet's gravitational pull, they will be doomed; and if they do escape, that aforementioned society may collapse in ruins. A fascinating exercise in relativity and reverence, "Blink of an Eye" was first telecast on January 19, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Physical desire takes on a dangerous degree of urgency in this episode of the sci-fi television series Star Trek: Voyager. Starfleet Lieutenant Torres (Roxann Dawson) is preparing for a mission off the Voyager with the Away Team when she's propositioned by Vorik (Alexander Enberg), a Vulcan ensign aboard the ship. When Torres rejects his advances, Vorik attacks her, and she responds with violence. It is learned that Vorik is suffering from a Vulcan malady known as pon farr -- it produces an intense desire to mate, and if the victim's need is not satisfied, they may die. As Torres travels with the Away crew to a nearby planet, she finds herself stricken with pon farr, causing some of her crewmates to wonder if they should appease her appetites. Star Trek: Voyager 57: Blood Fever was first aired on February 5, 1997. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Two members of the crew of the Voyager discover themselves revisiting the past in different ways (but with the same awful results) in this episode of the sci-fi television series Star Trek: Voyager. Capt. Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and Chakotay (Robert Beltran) are on a shuttle craft which is forced to land on an unusual island. Moments later, Janeway and Chakotay are killed when the shuttle explodes; however, soon they are back patrolling the spaceways, and it soon becomes obvious that the two pilots have fallen into a loop in time, where they repeatedly die and come back to life. Star Trek: Voyager 158: Coda first aired on January 29, 1997, and features a guest appearance by Len Cariou. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
