Today In STAR TREK History: June 15th

Spoilers!

Welcome to our round-up of the Star Trek episodes which received their premiere broadcast on this day throughout the show's long history, along with anything else of note that may have taken place. All viewing figures quoted are for U.S. premiere broadcast (unless noted).

June 15th
On this day in 1992, the fifth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation came to a cliffhanger end with the broadcast of Time's Arrow, Part 1. 11.8 million viewers were tuned in to discover an engineering team had found evidence that aliens visited Earth in 19th century San Francisco: Data's severed head, buried five hundred years ago!

Some timey-wimey shenanigans abound as Data finds himself on Earth in San Francisco on August 11th 1893. Who else is there? Well I will tell you - Guinan! Although in her timeline she's yet to meet the Enterprise crew and is quite pally with Mark Twain. Makes you wonder if Steven Moffat found himself taking any inspiration for the Doctor Who character of River Song, doesn't it? Well, the Moff and the rest of the world would have to wait three months for the start of season six and the resolution to the story.

Join us again next time for another round-up of the episodes broadcast, the movie's released, the special events, the birthday's celebrated and anything else of note that went down on this day in Star Trek history.
