'''''Star Trek''''' is a franchise of science fiction television series and films.
+
 
 +
'''''Star Trek''''' is a 1966-1969 U.S. science fiction TV series, which gained a cult following for its clever scripts, adventurous plots and social commentary. Between 1979 and 1991, six film adaptations were made starring the regular cast members, including [[William Shatner]] ([[Captain Kirk]]) and [[Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Spock]]). Since 1987, several spin-off TV series have been produced—including ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'', ''Star Trek: Voyager'', ''Star Trek: Enterprise'', ''Star Trek: Discovery'', and ''Star Trek: Picard''—while seven further films have been made since 1994, four starring the cast members of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and three as part of a reboot series featuring the original TV series' characters.

{{TB|[[Leonard Nimoy]] is present to give a celebration speech for the new monorail. He jokes that this vessel "could do at least Warp 5", a reference to Warp speed in 'Star Trek'. [[Mayor Quimby]] then makes a reference to ''[[Star Wars]]'', which annoys Nimoy and it turns out the major thinks he was one of [[The Little Rascals]]. In the same episode Nimoy looks through his monorail window making philosophical observations in the same style as Spock. However, the man next to him asks if anyone else wants to change seats? At the end of the story Nimoy looks back at the events and says: "My work is done here." [[Barney Gumble]] then points out that he hasn't done anything, whereupon Nimoy states: "Haven't I?" and dissolves in the same beam effect as in 'Star Trek'.}}

Latest revision as of 14:58, October 10, 2024


Star Trek is a 1966-1969 U.S. science fiction TV series, which gained a cult following for its clever scripts, adventurous plots and social commentary. Between 1979 and 1991, six film adaptations were made starring the regular cast members, including William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and Leonard Nimoy (Spock). Since 1987, several spin-off TV series have been produced—including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Picard—while seven further films have been made since 1994, four starring the cast members of Star Trek: The Next Generation and three as part of a reboot series featuring the original TV series' characters.

References to Star Trek in The Simpsons[edit]

Episodes[edit]

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
Martin Klingon ear.png 2 34 "Three Men and a Comic Book" Martin loses one of his Klingon ears at the "Close Encounter of the Comic Book Kind" Convention. The lost and found also has Tricorders.
3 41 "Like Father, Like Clown" When Krusty the Clown is revealed to be Jewish, Homer dismisses the idea of a "Jewish entertainer". Lisa then lists several celebrity entertainers who are Jewish, among them William Shatner.
Montgomery Scott.png 4 65 "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" The family sees a trailer and clips from the latest Original Series film, Star Trek XII: So Very Tired, which depicts an elderly and senile cast. Captain Kirk complains about poor sleeping habits and everyone else's indifference to his complaining, while Scotty has grown so fat he cannot fire the phasers because his gargantuan stomach is in the way of the control panel.
Leonard Nimoy.png 4 71 "Marge vs. the Monorail" Leonard Nimoy is present to give a celebration speech for the new monorail. He jokes that this vessel "could do at least Warp 5", a reference to Warp speed in 'Star Trek'. Mayor Quimby then makes a reference to Star Wars, which annoys Nimoy and it turns out the major thinks he was one of The Little Rascals. In the same episode Nimoy looks through his monorail window making philosophical observations in the same style as Spock. However, the man next to him asks if anyone else wants to change seats? At the end of the story Nimoy looks back at the events and says: "My work is done here." Barney Gumble then points out that he hasn't done anything, whereupon Nimoy states: "Haven't I?" and dissolves in the same beam effect as in 'Star Trek'.
5 84 "Homer Goes to College" Benjamin, Doug and Gary get into an online argument with students of the Massachussets Institute of Technology whether Captain Kirk (from Star Trek: The Original Series) is better than Captain Picard (from Star Trek: The Next Generation)?
Homer Fights Barney.png 5 96 "Deep Space Homer" The title is a reference to the 'Star Trek' spin-off 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'. As part of his NASA training, Homer fights Barney in the Triskelion arena while the classic "Star Trek fight music" plays in the background. Dr. Babcock bets "400 quatloos on the newcomer".
Planet-Aches-FutureMice.png 6 104 "Bart of Darkness" The Itchy and Scratchy cartoon in this episode is a parody of "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I", and "The Menagerie, Part II", with the "future mice" resembling the aliens from Talos IV and possessing strong telepathic and telekenetic abilities.
CouchGagS6E04.png 107 "Itchy & Scratchy Land" The couch gag for this episode shows the Simpson family being beamed on the couch the same way people are beamed onto the Enterprise.
110 "Bart's Girlfriend" Abe Simpson confesses to being the one who cancelled Star Trek.
116 "And Maggie Makes Three" Homer claims that the dawn of the internet showed the average person "what some nerd thought of Star Trek."
William Shatner.png 121 "A Star Is Burns" William Shatner is one of the actors auditioning for the role of Montgomery Burns dressed in a Starfleet uniform and speaking in his "Kirk voice" ("Ex-cell-ENT!").
Pepsi.png 122 "Lisa's Wedding" In this episode, Hugh Parkfield's watch makes identical noises to a TOS communicator, Troy McClure's uniform is identical to the TOS uniforms, and the nuclear power plant resembles and makes the same noises as the Enterprise.
Pet store man.png 123 "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" A clerk at a pet store performs a "human-dog mind meld" on Santa's Little Helper. He recommends that the Simpsons buy a lot of his merchandise to help calm the dog. Apparently it worked as the next scene depicts the family driving home with a car full of dog-related goods.
8 156 "The Homer They Fall" Comic Book Guy reflects on winning a high-tech belt from a Star Trek trivia costume, and is upset that its medium size is too small for most Star Trek fans.
Leonard Nimoy and Bart.png 162 "The Springfield Files" Leonard Nimoy appears again, and is addressed as "Spock" by a hot dog vendor.
Lace the Final Brassiere.png 9 192 "Das Bus" When Comic Book Guy starts to download a nude picture of Captain Janeway, he says, "Lace ... the final brassiere", referencing the line "Space ... the final frontier" from the show's introductory narrative.
Simpson Tide Sulu.png 197 "Simpson Tide" Homer ends up as captain of a military submarine and refers to helmsman Moe as "Mr. Moe". A "Mr. Sulu" is also part of the crew and mentions Rigel VII while setting a course.
10 212 "Mayored to the Mob" Vina's theme from "The Cage" is heard when Comic Book Guy is entranced by a nerdy young Comic Book Gal.
Other Car is a Millenium Falcon.png 213 "Viva Ned Flanders" Comic Book Guy has a bumper sticker which says "I Brake For Tribbles". Tribbles are creatures which appeared several times in the original Star Trek series, debuting in the Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles". Most of the other bumper stickers are Star Trek references while the license plate is the same as the registry number for the Starship Enterprise.
Comic Book Guy Star Trek costume.png 222 "They Saved Lisa's Brain" Comic Book Guy dresses in a costume resembling the Star Fleet uniform worn in Star Trek.
Only Working Phaser Ever Built.png 11 230 "Treehouse of Horror X" Comic Book Guy holds Bart and Lisa at bay with "the only working phaser ever built" which was "fired once to keep William Shatner from releasing another album."
The Collector Spock.png Leonard Nimoy as Spock was one of the celebrities that The Collector had captured.
We Need More Power.png 243 "Bart to the Future" When the audience at Nelson's Crab Shack are displeased with the performance of Captain Bart and the Tequila Mockingbirds, they boo and start throwing things at the stage. A laser grid quickly activates and disintegrates all of the thrown objects, thus protecting the performers. However, the barrage continues and threatens to overload the grid. Willie, who is running the grid, panics and exclaims "We need more power! The shield won't hold much longer!", echoing a couple of Scotty's catchphrases from the original series.
Human Contact The Final Frontier.png 12 259 "Worst Episode Ever" As Comic Book Guy goes to a class about making friends, he says, "Human contact: the final frontier", referencing the show's introductory narrative ("Space: the final frontier").

I Am Not Spock.png 13 277 "Sweets and Sour Marge" Comic Book Guy bought the books I Am Not Spock, I Am Spock and I Am Also Scotty by Leonard Nimoy. The first two books are actual real-life autobiographies by Nimoy.
Comic Book Guy's Spock disguise.png 14 310 "Old Yeller-Belly" Comic Book Guy goes to Springfield Dry Cleaners to get his disguises of Spock, Batman and Spider-Man.
No image.png 15 320 "'Tis the Fifteenth Season" A Christmas Carol-ripoff episode of Star Trek where the Enterprise was under attack from the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and Scotty cannot fire the photon torpedoes because "He's showin' visions of me future... God, I'm so fat!"
Nichelle Nichols.png 332 "Simple Simpson" Nichelle Nichols from Star Trek visits Comic Book Guy's shop while his face is covered in pie.
