You can catch the episodes online. The 1940's Yakuza vs. the 1920's New York Mafia one was interesting. I'm still surprised the Mafia won the battle. Mostly it was surprising because the final fight was a one-on-one, and I'd have given that situation of hand-to-hand to the Yakuza guy every time.

It sure would have been nice if the author had watched more than 5 episodes of The Original Series before writing an article. We need to remind people that Patrick Stewart was not a castmember of "the original series". The first time we ever see Mark Lenard in the ears is as a Romulan.
