* The Klingons as portrayed from ''[[The Next Generation]]'' onward combine about 50% each of Viking and Japanese Samurai culture. Essentially, they are Viking Samurai [[In Space]]. With forehead ridges. (In the original series they appeared to be about 50/50 Russian and ''[[The Thief of Bagdad]]'' Persian stereotypes, although there was little to no cultural exploration at all.)
* The ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' 'verse is a case of Culture Chop Suey, but it's not really an equal blend of Western and Chinese culture; rather, it's a [[Space Western]] where the characters supplement their English dialogue with (bad) Mandarin, eat Chinese dishes as well as Western ones, and in some cases (like the Tams) have Asian-ish surnames but look white.
