The weirdest thing to me is that beastie boys have been listened to by characters, and they reference Spock and the Vulcan neck pinch in intergalactic.

Honestly that would be a rather funny scene in a time travel episode.

That one's easy - in The Voyage Home, when they go back to 1986, a busload of people saw Spock neck pinch a guy playing loud music, and Kirk said his name right afterward. Word spread about this and it became a popular urban legend, enough so that the Beastie Boys referenced it in a song 12 years later.

This is the first time I've been mad not to be on Reddit, because I want to spend money to give you something meaningless and gaudy.

In software development that's called a circular dependancy!

This is like how the Sopranos and the Gilmore Girls both reference each other

Originals yes, prequels no.

It took a timeline with WW3 to stop George Lucas’ madness.

Also, Star Trek as entertainment is canon within the Star Trek universe, confirmed in the "Enterprise" TV finale.

Splain? I just finished ENT a month ago and don't remember that?

In fairness, my brain refuses to hold on to much of that finale. >:-[

Laser blasts you in the face from his hidden ~~pistol~~ phaser under the table.

Also... shall we put that one on Riker?

As soon as the Eugenics Wars ended, Lucas got to work on putting CGI Jabba into A New Hope.

They've probably played the holo-novel adaptation of Star Wars
