Today we’ll discuss the long relationship between Asia and Europe. We’ve been trading, creating art and inspiring each other for millennia. The East is not exotic and strange, they’re our neighbors...we just happen to live a little further west down the silk road.

The 'Fantastically Terrible Character or Creature' is Christopher Pike from “Star Trek”. He was portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter in the original Star Trek pilot, but left the show after it was initially rejected. Later they bring him back as a promoted fleet captain (so far, so good), but he’s been left paralyzed, disfigured and unable to speak (rough!).
