    As a result, Young Sheldon was thus quick to finish his homework in order to eke in an extra episode. :devil:

    There's no contradiction. Mae Jemison wasn't playing herself.

    Don't forget the opening of Qpid when Picard is writing his speech in his ready room, and his Annotated Shakespeare book is opened on pages 354/355 which feature a picture of Sir Patrick Stewart playing Touchstone in an 1980s Royal Shakespeare Company production of As You Like It.

    TNG had a U.S.S Adams N.C.C 42 iirc.
    References are nothing new.

    I just looked up Rick and Morty in Wikipedia. Infinite parallel universes. Why do I find myself thinking of a certain 7th season TNG episode (that was truly a tour-de-force for Michael Dorn as Worf). Or of a certain Robert Coover short story.

    Shouldn't that have been NCC-0042?

    I see it now. There was a USS Heart Of Gold, commanded by Douglas Adams. Though I must have missed the entire thing. Gonna go watch Conspiracy again.

    Wasn't the USS KELVIN before the split?

    But Simon Pegg said the split was retroactive.

    And we should care what Simon Pegg says...why, exactly?

    Besides, the last episode of SNW mentioned the Kelvin and George Kirk's service on it, so that settles that.

    Pegg's retroactive theory is even too wonky for me, and I like the ENTERPRISE/FIRST CONTACT Borg theories.

    The same reason why we banter back and forth here-we're fans and that's what we do is spout theories and ideas.
