* [[Fountain of Memes]]: A [[Long Runner]] like ''Trek'' has spawned more than a few. "[[Catch Phrase|To boldly X where no one has Y'ed before]]", [[Resistance Is Futile]], [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|green chicks]], and '''[[Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan (Film)|KHAAAAAAN!]]''' are some of the more memorable.

** Spock/McCoy from ''[[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|The Original Series]]''.

** Janeway/Seven from ''[[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|Voyager]]''.

** Archer/Reed, Tucker/Reed and Reed/Hayes from ''[[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|Enterprise]]''.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:: In the 30th anniversary special, there is a skit featuring the cast of ''[[Frasier]]'' sserving on the USS Voyager under Janeway. At one point, a Klingon beams aboard with the dog, which had been digging up azalea bushes on the Klingon homeworld. Janeway remarks, "Now you see why we shouldn't have [[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|pets on starships]]".

* [[The Problem With Licensed Games]]: Star Trek has been notoriously variable with the quality of its forays into interactive entertainment - partially because distilling the essence of the best episodes of the series into a truly interactive format is goddamn hard. The "best" Trek games to date have been somewhat more combat-focused than many of the shows really were. Of course, the fact that the license keeps bouncing between hands and developers (unlike [[Lucas Arts]], who've been refining their Star Wars offerings for the better part of two decades now) has not helped matters in the slightest.

** The two genres which are widely considered to have been ''most'' adaptable are [[Real Time Strategy|strategy games]] (''[[Star Trek Bridge Commander]]'', ''[[Star Trek Armada]]'', et al) for the combat elements, and [[Point and Click|point and click adventures]] (''[[Star Trek 25th Anniversary]]'', ''[[Judgment Rites]]'', ''[[A Final Unity]]'') for their episodic nature and ability to explore some of Trek's more ponderous aspects. ''25th Anniversary'' and ''A Final Unity'' in particular are often held up as being the closest you can get to actually playing interactive episodes of their respective television series, complete with the complete original casts providing the in-game voices of their characters ([[And the Fandom Rejoiced|which helps a '''lot''' with the atmosphere]]).

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Watching a later ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' episode is almost like watching a movie in television show form. The best examples would likely be "The Best of Both Worlds" (TNG), "The Way of the Warrior" (DS9), "Scorpion" (VOY) and "Twilight" (ENT). Of the movies the favorites are ''[[Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan (Film)|Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan]]'', ''[[Star Trek First Contact (Film)|Star Trek First Contact]]'' and ''[[Star Trek (Film)|Star Trek]].''
