Star Trek references in pop culture and life
Here's a thread I thought would be fun. Where we discuss how Star Trek seems to pop up on other shows, books, etc.
My favorites: On an X-Files episode Mulder is investigating a strange airplane accident. He keeps asking questions, and one of the officers sarcastically says something about finding "Spock's phaser". It was so cool to see one iconic show reference another. On Frasier, there's a character named Noel who's Star Trek obsessed. There have been jokes about him doing karoke in Klingon, and getting a restraining order from William Shatner. There are so many. __________________

Last night's eppy of "Joey" was pretty good. Brent Spiner was in it playing himself and Joey's nephew Michael was hassling him about the whole Data/Lore and Star Trek thing.

In btvs, wasn't a big refrence or anything but they did mention it.. and that's all I remember for now..
Buffy: You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one. (they look at her) Q from Bond, not Star Trek. |

I vaguely remember that. Didn't that person have a Klingon marriage ceremony? There's been a few Trek references in Gilmore Girls. I seem to remember a few last season between Lorelei and Jason. __________________

Oh my friend told me that there is a star trek reference in the song "Grade Nine" by the Barenaked Ladies
Well half my friends are crazy and The others are depressed And none of them can help me Study for my math test I got into the class room and my Knowledge was gone; I guess I should have studied instead of watching "Wrath of Khan". EDIT: In the game "Quake III", one of the characters that can be used is a skeleton creature called Bones. When you kill Bones, he says, "I'm dead, Jim" and also the playstation game Xenogeras has several references to Star Trek. Quote:

Sara in CSI did the Vulcan greeting. Or maybe it was just an alien greeting, but I prefer to think of it as the Vulcan one!

In stargate Atlantis - Sanctuary eppie, McKay compares John to Captain Kirk. This is because Captain Kirk in Star Trek: TOS got many times involved with alien females. Just like John does in this episode.
"McKay: Oh my god, he is Kirk..." EDIT: There's a little reference in "The Casper" movie in the scene where the lead kid's teacher comes to visit his home and he shows her a picture of him as a klingon. She says, "I love Star Trek. Did You see 'The Wrath of Khan'?" The kid says " Yeah, That's a classic!" Last edited by Hunniah; 01-18-2005 at 04:44 PM |
