The last scene features Harry Archer ( ) and two other husbands in a spaceship , wearing costumes reminiscent of the TOS uniforms . " Attack of the Show ! " . The February 9 , 2006 live episode of G4 ' s " Attack of the Show ! " aired a pre - recorded skit making a parody of " Star Trek " s mirror universe . Kevin Pereira left his office cubicle and walked towards the studio , passing along the way various people doing their jobs , one putting up a poster for a blood drive , and two others shredding papers . Pereira entered the empty sound stage and , looking for something to do , walked through the mysterious door on the back of the set and entered into a bending and wavering corridor , at the opposite end of which one can see an identical door . Kevin went through to the other end into a seemingly identical sound stage and headed back out to the hall where the same employees were toiling away . Only , now they were sporting goatees and carrying out various acts of violence , one employee shredding another ' s arm in the paper shredder , and another hammering a bloodied animal onto the wall . The skit cut to what was presumably that day ' s later live broadcast . Sarah , Wil , and Brendan were all on the couch answering chat questions . Sarah asks Kevin ' s answer to a chatter ' s question regarding the PS3 versus the Xbox 360 . Wil hands him a mace upon which he goes to torture the chatter in a segment dubbed " Fresh Blood , " in contrast to the normal show ' s " Fresh Ink . " That bit references the fact that they are really tired of receiving that question , as they have mentioned in many shows . Kevin begins to torture the man exclaiming , " " This evil world rules ! " " Later in the real show , a chatter asked Kevin if he found the bearded Sarah sexy . He said yes , claiming that the entire alternate dimension was hotter , trying to make a joke from the fact that he has a goatee in real life . Another chatter asked if Kevin got away with anything in the alternate universe . Kevin claimed he was able to double - dip at the craft service table . ( This was even more humorous , as no G4 shows had any form of craft services , only a break room with various forms of free canned sodas . ) Another episode features the USS " AOTS " ( , no registry number ) being attacked by a " B ' Rel " - class Bird - of - Prey . Kevin , Olivia , and two unnamed engineering personnel try to fend off the attack , eventually leading up to the Bird - of - Prey ' s captain ( Wil in Klingon makeup ) making demands for a graphic with obscene narration . Despite Kevin apparently being the captain of the USS " AOTS " , Olivia accepts the demands because she has motion sickness . Despite the exterior shots depicting a ship whose class was not commissioned until 2357 , the uniforms are those from 2265 . = B = " Bad Sugar " . This Britcom was never picked up , but the pilot was released . In it , there is a scene in which two characters exchange insults in the form of expressions with the word " bitch " inserted in them . One of these is " Revenge is a bitch best served cold " . " Battlestar Galactica " ( 2003 ) . Produced by Ronald D . Moore and featuring Bruce Davison , Dean Stockwell , Nana Visitor , and Michelle Forbes , the " " franchise was a 2003 - 2012 , updated and revamped version of the 1978 movie and the subsequent television series . Essentially one itself , the reimagined 2003 two - part mini series has , like " Star Trek " , seen several spin - off live - action productions . A Universal Studios production , the franchise was aired on SyFy Channel . The original incarnation was served by future " Star Trek " ( VFX ) Producer Dan Curry as matte painter , VFX Compositor David Stipes , production illustrators Andrew Probert and Ralph McQuarrie ( commissioned previously in a similar role on the abandoned " " project ) as concept designers , as well as John Dykstra and his VFX staff . Probert , Dykstra and most of his team , went on to work on after the original " Galactica " movie was completed , whereas Curry started his long " Star Trek " association with , on that occasion joined by McQuarrie . Stipes joined Curry as VFX supervisor on the later seasons of " The Next Generation " and beyond . Additionally , Lloyd Bridges , once considered as the " Original Series " first captain of the " Enterprise " , had been a major guest star in the series , playing the original role Michelle Forbes later reprised in the modernized version . The revamped version ' s principal star Edward James Olmos ' Hollywood Walk of Fame star is right next to that of Patrick Stewart . Amusingly , Olmos had been invited to audition for the part of Jean - Luc Picard , before Stewart was ultimately cast for the role . Olmos has been on record of being skeptical of the science fiction genre , particularly for its portrayal of alien s ( and therefore declining the audition invitation ) , yet he was already in 1983 seriously considered for a role in , ironically for the part of the Klingon Kruge , on the express wish of Director Leonard Nimoy . Olmos only accepted his role in " Battlestar " when it became apparent to him that the series was to be primarily drama - driven and not to feature any " outlandish " life forms . ( " Battlestar Galactica : The Complete Series " Blu - ray - special features , " Cast And Crew Take A Look Back " , " The Last Frakkin Special " ) In the mini - series , one of the refugee " Rag Tag Fleet " ships had the call sign " Gemenon Traveler 1701 " . The colonial fleet also included a ship named " Astral Queen " , a reference to the ship of the same name in . A starship is briefly visible in one shot of the colonial fleet in the miniseries . The footage is subsequently recycled in the first season opening credits . In the episode " " , Colonel Tigh , Chief Tyrol , and Tory Foster meet in weapons locker " 1701D " , a reference to BSG show - runner Moore ' s previous work on " Star Trek " ( Season 4 , Episode 5 ) . Moore has revealed that the first name of the " Kara Thrace " character , one of the main protagonists from the revamped " Battlestar Galactica " , was inspired by " Deep Space Nine " s Kira Nerys . An official map of the Twelve Colonies was released by Quantum Mechanix in 2011 , drawn by " " creator Geoffrey Mandel . Four systems are depicted , in a 2×2 grid , designated Helios Alpha through Delta . The four maps are ordered on the chart following the same unusual pattern as the four quadrant s of the " Star Trek " galaxy ( i . e . clockwise from top left : Gamma , Delta , Beta , Alpha ) . In the " Caprica " spin - off series finale , " Apotheosis " , right before landing Daniel Graystone ' s personal airplane can be seen flying past a large building featuring a banner which ( apart from a new color scheme ) is identical to a banner previously seen in the conference hall for the IME conference on Dekendi III in . The large overlap in VFX crew between the two series had more than likely something to do with this . That subtle references to " Star Trek " were on occasion sneaked into the " Battlestar Galactica " franchise should not come as a surprise as Moore was an unadulterated " Trekkie " . Nor was Moore the only production staffer on the franchise with a strong " Star Trek " pedigree , not by a long shot . The VFX department in particular was heavily manned with many former " Star Trek " production staffers . First and foremost there was Gary Hutzel who served as VFX supervisor , just like he had on " Star Trek " , but now serving right from the start in 2003 as the most senior VFX staffer , becoming Moore ' s right hand as far as the VFX were concerned , serving even longer than Moore had , as the latter left before the franchise finished its run in 2012 . After " Star Trek " prime temporarily ceased its existence in 2005 with the demise of , the VFX department was , after the first season of the 2004 series , substantially strengthened with additional " refugees " from the " Star Trek " franchise , Doug Drexler and David Takemura the most senior ones , they now serving as Hutzel ' s right hands . Already staffed with several former Foundation Imaging employees , Zoic Studios , the VFX house for " Battlestar Galactica " , became inundated with digital artist , who had moved over from Eden FX , the last VFX house to serve " Star Trek " prime in the Berman - era . A far from exhaustive catalog of former " Star Trek " VFX staffers employed at Zoic , included such artists as Lee Stringer , Pierre Drolet , Adam Lebowitz , Gabriel Koerner , David R . Morton , to name but a few . Like they had done for " Star Trek " , these staffers helped the " Battlestar Galactica " franchise to its slew of VFX Emmy Award wins and nominations . Despite the acclaim , there " were " die - hard fans of the classic series , who denounced the re - imagined series right from the start , increasingly referring to the re - imagined franchise by the acronym " GINO " – Galactica In Name Only – , and these fans were subsequently joined by others , critical of the later " BSG " spin - off productions . In this it resembled the fan criticism that befell " The Next Generation " prior to , and during its first season . Moore himself reacted to this criticism with humor when he made a cameo appearance in the April 2009 episode " A Space Oddity " of the crime series " CSI : Crime Scene Investigation " ( see below ) – incidentally co - written by his former " Next Generation " writing colleague Naren Shankar ; the subplot in that episode involved a young director / producer remaking an old science fiction series with a brand new concept , angering fans with Moore , as a convention attendee , being the first person to speak out in order to denounce the remake . " Becker " . Starring " " host Ted Danson and Terry Farrell . In one episode of the series , Bob remarks that his ex - wife was " hit by more lasers than the Starship " Enterprise " . " " Being Human " ( American ) . The second episode of the series refers to " Star Trek " . In addition , Sam Witwer is a regular on the show and plays the role of the vampire Aiden .

" Being Erica " . In the episode " Erica the Vampire Slayer " , the character IF uses Odo to explain to Erica what a shapeshifter is . Erica later uses the phrase " Live long and prosper " to say goodbye to IF . " Better Off Ted " . In the episode " Lust in Translation " , scientists Lem and Phil create a universal translator . In one scene , Ted ' s line " Greta , can we talk ? " is translated into Klingon , and subtitled as " Human female ! You will speak ! " " Black Mirror " . In the third season episode " Playtest " , the character Cooper upon being asked if he is ready to start the test enthusiastically answers " beam me up , lock and load " . The fourth season episode " USS Callister " is an overt " Star Trek " parody that uses an online game based on a classic TV show - called " Space Fleet " - to explore the theme of misogyny and cyberbullying . After that episode debuted in December 2017 , reports that a spinoff based on it was being discussed emerged in january 2017 . " Bones " . " The Resurrection in the Remains " . In this crossover episode with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ' s show " Sleepy Hollow , " Ichabod Crane angrily snarls " Do I look as though I have just beamed down from the planet Vulcan ! ?

The series stars William Shatner in his Emmy - winning role as egotistical and sometimes senile attorney Denny Crane . Also starring in the series is Rene Auberjonois of fame as Paul Lewiston . Given Shatner ' s and Auberjonois ' association with " Star Trek " , several " Trek " - related in - jokes have crept into the series . In addition , many actors ( most having played aliens ) who have guest - starred on " Star Trek " have popped up in guest roles . " Trek " regulars who have made appearances are Ethan Phillips , Jeri Ryan , Michelle Forbes , Scott Bakula and Armin Shimerman ; two actors who make numerous appearances ( both as judges ) are Ron Canada and Henry Gibson , while Joanna Cassidy had a recurring role as Shatner ' s love interest .

In this episode , Denny takes his friend and fellow attorney , Alan Shore ( played by ) , to Nimmo Bay in Canada to get over a recent break - up . While staying the night in a cabin , Alan reads a book on sea lice and explains to Denny that the lice are called " cling - ons . " Denny replies to this by asking " " Did you say " Klingon s ? " " The German translation of this episode is using a different wordplay in which Shore says " " Dance on the ecological vulcan " " and Denny replies " " Did you say Vulcan ? " " . " The Cancer Man Can " . Denny receives a new cell phone as a gift from his new girlfriend ( played by guest actress Joanna Cassidy ) . When Denny flips the phone open , it makes the chirping sound of an original series communicator . The episode was directed by original series guest star Lou Antonio . " Helping Hands " .

Kirk of the . " When his teacher , Mr . Turner , protests , he claims that " " Captain Kirk is a fictional character . The guy is sixty - three years old and wears a tribble on his head .

" Sunset " . In the episode Sunset Walter White calls Saul Goodman for advice on getting rid of The RV . Saul asks Walter if he hasn ' t made any precautions . He says " " Starship Enterprise had a self - destruct button , I ' m just sayin ' " " " Blood Money " . In August 2013 , the TV series " Breaking Bad " featured an extended conversation about " Star Trek " in the mid - season premiere , " Blood Money " , of the show ' s fifth and final season . Characters Brandon " Badger " Mayhew and Skinny Pete ( very stoned ) discuss " Star Trek " , and Pete ( while smoking from a bong ) claims that every time a character uses the transporter , the original person is actually destroyed , and the transporter simply makes a perfect copy ( a " color xerox " ) at the target location . This greatly disturbs Badger , who asks if this means there were something like 1 47 different Kirks during the run of the TV series , each of whom were killed and replaced by a duplicate when they used the transporter . Pete confirms this is exactly what he is saying , and cites that Dr . McCoy rarely uses the transporter because as a doctor , he knows what it actually does to people . Badger and Pete go on discussing " Star Trek " , and Badger describes an idea for a " Star Trek " script which he has had for a long time . In his script , the crew ' s mission has been boring and uneventful for some time , so they decide to hold a pie - eating contest in the mess hall – " Tulaberry pies " . Pete says that he doesn ' t know what tulaberries are , to which Badger responds " Tulaberries , from Gamma Quadrant , yo . " Pete sharply interjects " That ' s " Voyager " , dude . " Annoyed , Badger continues by saying , " Okay , blueberries . They ' re eating blueberry pie . " Badger goes on to explain that the pie - eating contest comes down to just Spock , Kirk , and Chekov . Pete thinks Kirk would have room to spare , but Badger insists that Spock is winning because of his heightened Vulcan metabolism . Kirk has to admit defeat , but the only other crewmember still in the contest besides Spock is Chekov . Ingeniously , Chekov and Scotty collaborated to rig the contest , so as soon as Chekov eats a pie Scotty uses the transporter to beam his stomach contents out into space , so he can eat an infinite amount of food . Spock is becoming very frustrated and doesn ' t understand how Chekov can keep eating . Unfortunately , Lt . Uhura then comes into engineering and Scotty , distracted by her " pointies , " hits the wrong button , and suddenly Chekov is vomiting up blood – Scotty accidentally beamed his internal organs out into space as well . " Breaking In " . Starring Christian Slater . " Pilot " . Oz has the TOS " Enterprise " ' s captain ' s chair in his office .

The painting reappeared a short time later in the same season episode " Planet of the Amazon Women " , co - written by former " Original Series " Producer DC Fontana , as the " Zantia spaceport " . Later , Curry used his painting to create a slightly different version which was subsequently featured as the Relva VII Starfleet Academy facility , seen in " The Next Generation " first season episode , in effect becoming one of his very first contributions to the franchise .

" He starts talking about attempting to fantasize about Scott Bakula , who another character dreamily identifies as Jonathan Archer . " Buiten de Zone " . This Belgian tv series often parodied popular culture , including on a few occasions " Star Trek " . Already in the first episode , " de jongerenfoon " , an on - the - scene reporter reporting from the moon ends his report by saying " beam me up , Scotty " and being beamed away . The episode " Kitch en kunst " parodies the perceived tendency of Flemish films to focus on farmers according to one character by showing , among other genres , a bit from a film described as science fiction : It shows " farmer Spock " piloting a harvester , and coming upon giant potatoes , which he reports by communicator to " farmer Scotty " .

" " In response , a hungover Lister replies " " Don ' t give me the " Star Trek " crap , it ' s too early in the morning . " " " Legion " .

" " features space sirens that try and lure men to their doom , in a much more extreme idea explored in [ [ The Lorelei Signal ( episode ) ] ] .

The visual effects , in the form of the fledgling technique of [ [ CGI ] ] , for the series were produced by [ [ : Category : Visual effects companies | visual effects company ] ] [ [ Amblin Imaging ] ] , which was especially established for this series , counting among its staffers [ [ Robert Bonchune ] ] . Both company ( for the first two seasons of " Voyager " ) and Bonchune later worked on " Star Trek " , whereas Bonchune ' s supervisor , Michael Shea , was at the time engaged ( and later married ) to " Star Trek " art department staffer and model maker [ [ Dana White Shea | Dana White ] ] . Long serving " Star Trek " Production Illustrator [ [ John Eaves ] ] has served as the series ' storyboard artist . The series , running for three seasons , was produced by [ [ Universal Studios ] ] . Actually , the series " was " an unadulterated and clearcut " Star Trek " [ [ franchise ] ] emulation attempt , as Universal was one of the major Hollywood studios that became increasingly envious of [ [ Paramount Pictures ] ] for its long - lived financial success it enjoyed with their " Star Trek " franchise . Former " seaQuest " production staffer [ [ Ben Betts ] ] confirmed , " " They definitely wanted to have something like " Star Trek " . They wouldn ' t say that aloud , but that was what they were going for . They were trying to find " Star Trek " under water . Everything was there , except for the stories . They didn ' t have enough of a human element so they ' d get caught up in the technology . . . kind of fall back on the technology to bail everybody out by the end of the episode . It was plain as day to people working on the show . Everything was right .

It still wasn ' t " Star Trek " . " " ( " [ [ A Vision of the Future - Star Trek : Voyager ] ] " , pp . 50 - 51 , 54 ) Becoming a minor , obscure footnote in science fiction television history , " seaQuest DSV " has all but been forgotten , whereas Eaves and Betts himself , like Amblin and Bonchune , went on to work for the " Star Trek " franchise .
