Star Trek

Star Trek was a popular American science fiction television series of the 1960s, featuring among other characters, Spock, Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy. A Time Lord, Marnal, going by the human alias Marnal Gate, also sold a script to Star Trek, but unhappy with the changes made, he saw to it that he was not credited for it.

Star Trek later spawned a long-standing entertainment franchise that included motion pictures and additional TV series lasting into the 21st century.

The bridge design mimicked the clean white surfaces of the 2009 revival film, along with the use of lens flares. The ship itself is referred to as a Galaxy class vessel, the same class of ship as the Enterprise D in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and one of the crewmen is a black male who wears an odd piece of eyewear, similar to the Next Generation character, Geordi LaForge. Additionally, the exterior windows of the space liner resemble the computer consoles of Enterprise D in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Other than a few vague "alternate universe" dialogue references, the story does not explain how this is possible in the context of previous on-screen references.
