Engaging comedy about the washed-up cast of a Star Trek-like TV show now reduced to making personal appearances at fan conventions; suddenly they're whisked off to a starship where an alien civilization (believing their television adventures to be real) seeks their help to save the aliens from oblivion. By Grabthar's hammer, it's clever, funny, and sweet.
