They are obviously repulsed by the idea that Great Britain takes over France sometime in the future (politically and/or culturally). It's the equivalent of a futuristic American starship captain talking in a German accent.
Why does it seem Star Trek has not really taken off in France?

Sure: as organized as the Germans are, they're anarchists compared to the Swiss.
That's correct; I never understood why they are called french fries in the States, since they were invented right here in Belgium.
As to why Star Trek has not taken off in France, I guess one reason has a lot to do with French chauvinism, and another reason is that the show loses something in the translation (hey, they even change the themesong of many American tv-series. You should hear what they did to Dallas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=badRuS2emc0 ).
Before you click on the link, I must warn you : the french dallas-theme sounds really, really awful!

I think it's because they originally had a French name, just like here in Germany.
That's great.
Ah, I didn't realize that it wasn't even shown there until '82. That certainly makes sense. Thanks, Steve Roby, for the info and the bit from the French wiki.
