Thanks to Katie Carr on Threads, I just learned: in 1996, the cast of the newly-launched “Star Trek: Voyager” got together to do a feature for Parade magazine about the power of late-’90s technology. Behold its fabulously unhinged glory. 1/

Story idea: A man is stranded on backroads in a blizzard, and is able to survive for days on end by living in his SUV, subsisting on the spilled cheerios and Goldfish he finds in the cushions of his toddler's car seat.
