my dad: i thought it was bones

me:

the crew getting to meet a hero of early human space travel seems like such a Star Trek plot anyway

Drive a car really badly

Break a rule at work you disagree with

Fall madly in love with your science officer

Challenge someone to chess

Yell your nemesis' name really loud and dramatically

Call your vehicle / mode of transportation a beautiful lady and tell folks that you love her

Fight someone like this:

"Star Trek was loved by working women!"

My grandma used to clean for this rich lady who had a color TV, and when Star Trek came on, that lady would make my grandma take a break from cleaning so they could watch the episode together. My grandma can still recall how thrilling (sometimes scary) the episodes were and how hot Captain Kirk was. Tiny coincidence that he shared some physical similarities with my grandpa.
