"welcome, earthling..."
Star Trek is a popular science fiction series that grew from a 1960s TV series to encompass many shows, movies, and other works, becoming one of the most well-known and recognizable works in the genre. Fans of the franchise are often dubbed "Trekkies", and Strong Bad occasionally makes light of these stereotypical "dorks". In spite of this, some characters in the Homestar Runner universe, sometimes even Strong Bad, seem to be fans of the series.
Appearances
- The Nebulon sound is taken from the unofficial computer game Star Trek for Windows 9x.
- Hairstyle Runner — An image in the gallery is titled "spock can talk to whales", a reference to The Voyage Home in which the crew travels back in time to retrieve whales (extinct in their time) that can communicate with an alien probe. Spock is able to communicate with the whales, though technically he does not talk with them.
- Puppet Jam: Tropical Lazor Beams — Homestar Runner sings "I put my lazors on stun", similar to the oft-repeated "keep your phaser set on stun" in Star Trek.
- Email dreamail — Strong Bad says "on screen", a common order given by various characters in the series. He also writes an email to Leonard Nimoy, an actor best known for his iconic role as Spock.
- Email best thing — The first (and only) episode of Limozeen: "but they're in space!" is titled "Encounter at Groupulon 5", a possible reference to "Encounter at Farpoint", the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The mischievous reality-warping Bozar is probably inspired by Q.
- Email space program — Strong Bad types a "Captainface Log", and recites it in a similar manner to the Captain's Logs ubiquitous to Star Trek.
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 11 — Sci-Fi Greg's costume incorporates elements of various Starfleet uniforms, particularly the combadge insignia.
- Email fan club — During Strong Bad's fan fiction, he has Strong Sad say "And that's why I like all them Star Tracks!"
- Email buried — Strong Bad, suspecting he is of extraterrestrial origin, remarks that that would explain "why all beings look the same except for slight differences of our foreheads!" This is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Star Trek's frequent use of cranial ridges in makeup design for alien species, an attempt to mitigate how all aliens must look somewhat humanoid because they are played by human actors.
- This phenomenon was addressed in-universe with the The Next Generation episode "The Chase", which revealed that four disparate races (humans, Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans) share a common ancestor: a humanoid species that seeded their genetic material across the galaxy. This episode received a mixed reaction from fans.
- Make a Scene with Telltale: Strong Bad Edition — Strong Bad refers to Wil Wheaton as Ensign Crusher, his character from The Next Generation.
- Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective — Dangeresque refers to operating the Space Simulator as "trekking the stars".
