How Star Trek has permeated society.
Criminal Minds is a TV Show... old one, might be still running? I don't know. One of my grandson's suggested it to me so I watched the first two episodes last night....
During the episodes I heard 2 references to Star Trek... both 'quotes'. That got me to thinking about how often I hear references to Star Trek in movies, other TV Shows, casual talk with friends, this board, literally everywhere. I can't say for sure but I'd bet that it is a rare day indeed when I hear no reference to Star Trek at all.
Some will say Star Wars is even more pervasive... and they would have a good point, it may be.... but I think Star Trek still has the edge.
