I know but he got the reference anyway
Good idea for my next Star Trek party.
With the former President of Earth, who is now the Starfleet Academy Medical Officer.That's one possibility people have considered, my favorite would be the 5th dimension from Captain Proton
Exactly - maybe that's why SAM is all over him
Seems to me the only difference is people at the time didn't care so badly that the fictional futurist tv show used familiar modern slang.
And the fact that that show remained relatable to later generations (like me) who never used an inkwell and had no clue what 'navy beans' were supposed to signify or what a 'pig's eye' has to do with anything very obviously puts the lie to the supposedly terrible dangers of being 'dated'. (As if that point even needed proving in a world that still celebrates Chaucer, Shakespeare, Shelley, Austen, Alcott, Hemingway, etc).
If something is good, future generations will enjoy it even if they don't fully understand every tiny piece of it and if they enjoy it enough they will also put in the effort to understand it better. And if it isn't good, then none of this even matters in the first place.
