Episode guide
|
Star Wreck V: Lost Contact is the fifth episode of the Star Wreck series, and the first to feature live-action scenes.
The Korg send a ship back in time to 20th century Earth. The Kickstart, being the only functioning P-fleet ship around, has to follow.
The Korg plan to assassinate rockstar Jeffrey Cochbrane (Played by Rudi Airisto and a pair of sunglasses) and his band Dethdestro before their concert attracts the attention of Vulgars. This would stop humanity's first contact aliens and change the future.

- The episode copies Star Trek in regards to its central premise quite heavily.
- Info's ingenious way to stop the Korg in the present has him install Windows 95 onto the Korg ship's computer. This is a reference to Windows 95's constant crashes.
