The ST references do seem to have slowed recently. When the new movie comes out that will probably change for a little while.
I found the blog and here's the relevant part of the reply: She's in a "Kobayashi Maru" (sorry for the geek Star Trek reference). A no-win situation. The purpose of the Kobayashi Maru simulation is to test a person's strength and character when faced with a no-win scenario.
Also, has anyone seen the commercial for, I think, Jack In the Box in which people are driving and eating and all the insides of their sandwiches fall out? There's one guy who is captaining a spaceship and I swear the set looks like Star Trek but when the view is changed to outer space, the ship that blows up looks like it's from BSG.
