Enough time has passed that the 1st episode from season 4 of Strange New Worlds is now open for memery goodness. Episode 2 “The Griffin Incident” on the 30th, just in time for Hallow Hemmer-ween!
TNG s6e16 “Starship Mine” aka “Star Trek Does a Die Hard” and SNW s4e1 “Valles Marineris”
Edit: Season 6 of TNG, not 7
It’s canon that Kirk loved the Beastie Boys
And clearly, Chekov was a Beatles fan.
Somehow not the Monkees.
Well, the Monkees were American, while the Beatles were clearly a Russian Inwention.
One version of him anyway. Thanks, movie production budgets!
