References to Star Trek
This is a great list of Star Trek parodies, but is there an article here that collects references that have been made to Star Trek in pop culture, music, television, etc.? It would be quite a list for sure, but interesting and fun just the same. — Scott (talk) 05:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, we do have Star Trek parodies (music), Star Trek parodies (film), and Star Trek parodies (literature). The reason these were created was to avoid a single, incredibly long list of parodies. --From Andoria with Love 13:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- I thought we had a page for those. I agree, some of what is on the parody pages should be moved there. --From Andoria with Love 17:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, we do have Star Trek tributes, but that's apparently for incidents in which Trek influenced the real-world... --From Andoria with Love 17:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Family Guy - "Peter's Got Woods"
"The conn and operations consoles were reversed in position (unless Wesley was manning ops for some reason). Also, the rank insignia were on the incorrect side of the uniforms.there is also no color in the commbages."
recommend deletion as this is likely an effect of the scene being horizontally mirrored during production. -<unsigned>
- ...or we could just note that the scene may be backwards because it was horizontally mirrored during production. :D --From Andoria with Love 21:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
The Simpsons - "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy"
The article compares the dissapearance of the adults in this episode to a similar situation in TOS: "Miri". Isn't this a rather dubious connection? It hardly seems to be an intentional Trek parody, but simply a very minor coincidence. John1701 02:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Other sketches
I remember a sketch airing probably about 10 years ago on dutch TV (in english btw) which featured the following 2 scenes, among others:
- Something appears on the main screen. Captain: "It's an anomaly!". No# 1: "No it's a phenomena". Captain: "No an anomaly!" (etc. etc.)
- Captain: "You know what we must do now right?". No# 1: "Run through corridors!". View of them running comicly and at random through the corridors.
I can't find any reference to this sketch on the google or google groups. Does anyone recognize it? Total time of the sketch was probably about 5 to 10 minutes. Ejtaal 17:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
A split?
This page is getting rather long. Perhaps it should be split into live-action television and animated television? --From Andoria with Love 23:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I think I'd agree with that idea, given that you have to scroll down a lot just to get beyond the contents menu. John1701 02:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Cast ties
Someone went a wee bit overboard and added cast links between SeaQuest and Star Trek, which isn't what this page is here for. (See large section below for removed text.) --From Andoria with Love 06:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Removal of duplicate Muppet Show entry
I removed the first Muppet Show entry, because: A. It was out of place alphabetically, falling between Beavis & Butthead and Boston Legal. B. It was duplicated in the correctly placed Muppet Show entry. C. It was wrong. The name of the skit was "Pigs in Space." "Swinetrek" was the name of the ship in the sketches. The correctly placed entry had all of this right. - Bridge 19:33, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
