How to Weird Out Your Trekkie Friends
Note that in the movie reboots (a.k.a. the "Kelvin Timeline"), the music of the Beastie Boys plays a prominent role. And not just in the soundtrack; there are clear references to the trio existing / having existed.
Ask your friend to explain how their lyrics contain
explicit references to the Enterprise officers - and the resulting implications.
Same faces every day but you don’t know their names
Party people going placed on the D-train
(Stop that train, I wanna get off)
Check it, trench coat wingtip going to work
And you’ll be pulling a train like Captain Kirk“B-Boy Bouillabaisse”, 1989
Your knees’ll start shakin’ and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock"Intergalactic", 1998
Communicator check one-two, one-two
This is Bones McCoy on a line to Sulu
Set the bullshit to warp factor one
Check your tricorder, set your phasers on stun"The Brouhaha", 2004
