===On Cinema at the Cinema===
A comedy podcast and webseries starring Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington as movie reviewers. A recurring gag is Turkington confusing the plots of and , often claiming the former concerns the plot of the latter with the Enterprise crew visiting San Francisco to retrieve whales and refuting any corrections from Heidecker, much to his annoyance.
Several episodes feature Heidecker attempting to disprove Turkington's claim, even bringing in the Star Trek IV novelization and to read their plot synopses as proof of the film's setting, none of which Turkington finds credible, causing a fed-up Heidecker to "fire" him from the show. For his part in the argument, Turkington hosted a segment visiting filming locations in San Francisco while comparing them to stills from "Star Trek Two" (intentionally mislabeled as such and actually taken from Star Trek IV) as his "proof" that the second film is set in the city. During the "Second Annual Oscar Special" episode, Turkington asks guest Sally Kellerman which film is set in the San Francisco, but she does not know.
The joke reaches its zenith in the six-part mini-series "The Trial," where Heidecker, acting as his own defense while on trial for murder, attempts to taint Turkington's testimony by discrediting his expertise as a film buff. On the fourth day of the trial, asked point-blank where each film takes place, Turkington reiterates his erroneous claim that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is set in San Francisco and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home in outer space. At the start of the fifth day, Heidecker calls real-life director and co-writer of Star Trek II and co-writer of Star Trek IV Nicholas Meyer as a witness. When Meyer clarifies that the subtitle in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home refers to Earth, and the crew does in fact visit San Francisco, Turkington is heard to disagree from the gallery and "corrects" the director. Overzealous, Heidecker gets too specific, and next asks if any of Star Trek II is set in San Francisco, leading to Turkington claiming to have been correct all along when Meyer responds in the affirmative. Humorously, Turkington is removed from the courtroom before Heidecker can get Meyer to clarify that Star Trek IV would be the film generally characterized as set in San Francisco.

===Heaven's Gate===
The religious group, founded in the early '70s and mostly remembered for their tragic mass suicide in 1997, were widely reported to be influenced by Star Trek, and even sensationalized as a Star Trek religion. The group was steeped in general science fiction themes, notably Star Trek, (although shows like The X-Files and Stargate were also associated with them). Notably, they characterized themselves as an "away team" working on Earth. In a 1993 advertisement in USA Today, they likewise described Jesus Christ as the captain in an away team from the Kingdom of God on Earth. In this statement, they also indicated a belief that they were going to depart to the true Kingdom of God on the true Enterprise. The wide-ranging belief statement furthermore talked about their moral prime directive. The allusions to Star Trek in this advertisement were later confirmed to be intentional. The group's website also confirmed their terminology regarding a captain and admiral to be inspired by Star Trek. 
Another manifest, "E.T. Speaks: UFO's / Space aliens / Reboot civilization" which was posted to a number of Usenet groups, was sometimes rebranded "The Real Q - An E.T. Speaks out" for Usenet communities with a sci-fi fan audience.
Building on the away team theme, their life routine, in which they were given "assignments" and wore spandex uniform-like light clothing, was further compared to Star Trek in the press. They were also known to recruit at Star Trek conventions. 
The member known as Jwnody ended her exit video preceding the mass suicide by saying "thirty-nine to beam up".
Among the members of the cult, and deaths in the 1997 mass suicide, was Nichelle Nichols's brother Thomas Nichols.
