July 10th
Today in 1989, the twenty first and penultimate episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation's second season premiered. Titled Peak Performance, 9.4 million viewers were tuned in to see a war-game simulation arranged by Starfleet with the Borg threat in mind. With a renowned Zakdorn strategist named Sirna Kolrami (guest star Roy Brocksmith) sent to serve as observer and mediator of the exercise, Captain Picard and the Enterprise are pitted against Commander Riker and the eighty-year-old starship Hathaway. However, when the Ferengi suddenly attack, the Enterprise is crippled, forcing Picard into a seemingly no-win situation.

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.
