You were describing the plot of “Caretaker”, the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager.

An alien abducts ships from one part of the galaxy to this side of the galaxy. Why? Because they are dying and are looking for a compatible mate. Unable to do so, they destroy the device that brought them there (at the wish of The Caretaker) to protect another alien species. So they get stranded 30,000 light years from Earth.

But you are incompatible and now stuck 30,000 light years from Earth.

I hope you are deaf.

I never imagined I’d be meeting the man who invented the warp drive.

Me: But it isn’t April 5, 2063.

I don’t know how relevant it is anymore, but I recommend watching the documentary Outfoxed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outfoxed

Wait till they try to detonate it.

Remember, he said on national daytime television he would date Ivanka.

Why did I read this in Schwarzenegger’s voice?

Remember when Xbox required a Live subscription to use the any streaming entertainment app?

No, that’s character played by James Urbaniak on The Office named Rolf. You’re thinking of Thomas Rolph, cricket player.

When I was introduced to Google, my relatives were using it to look up video game cheat codes. I think we even looked up walk through for Driver. That tutorial was absurdly fucking difficult. A group of like 10 people couldn’t complete it for hours.

Whelp… I’m going to special hell. At least it is ironic in a good way.

I believe there is a joke in The Office about Todd Packer being able to name all the extant species, because there are only two.

Hey, I am a janitor that struggles to open trash bags if I’m not wearing clean gloves. They refuse to open with bare hands or if my gloves are greasy.

You can find this on the album Inside Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry was asked to give an example of network notes. For context, just know Gene was a Humanist. He framed The Bible as if it was the script for a television show. Everything pretty much would have been deemed inappropriate.

I know we tease people in modern times who would criticize Jesus of Nazareth for how he has been historically known, but it is wild how a religious text would not been deemed acceptable for 60s or 70s television.

It was restarted in like the last year.

What’s your take on Cellular from 2004 that starred Kim Basinger, Jason Statham, Chris Evans and Eric Christian Olsen?
