Revision as of 12:37, 22 April 2015


  • Actor Allusion:
    • There's quite a few jabs at William Shatner's iconic Captain Kirk role, such as when Denny is given a cellphone by one of his many girlfriends and it makes the Star Trek communicator beeping sound whenever he flips it open.
    • Also, when describing a parasitic water bug,

Alan: They call them cling-ons.
Denny: Did you say Klingons!?

    • The third season episode "Son of the Defender" used footage from a 1950's TV movie featuring Shatner to present Denny as a young attorney clashing with his father. It was surprisingly emotional.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Nicknamed the "science fiction retirement home" for featuring Captain Kirk, Odo (who clearly prefers working with Sisko), Daniel Jackson, and Seven of Nine among others.
    • Taken even further in a third season episode with Odo and Quark, who are described as "old friends," arguing with each other.
      • Guest starring Neelix. And the voice of Leela, if you're in to that kind of thing.
    • Looks like Murphy Brown has a successful legal career after broadcasting.
