    I’ve never played a game of D&D in my life but I’m happy to let my nerd flag flag because I fully understood these references.

    Also whoever dreamed up “Car Talk with Martok” is a bloody genius.

    I like the idea that he just wants to talk about cars, but he keeps getting called by B&B nerds

    I do hope Tom Paris calls in at one point though

    Or maybe one of the 47s. “My truck has been floating through space for 100s of years, and something seems to be wrong with the exhaust…”

          And they obsess over really unusual stuff, like the particular way we assembled gear boxes.

      Aaaand I’ve post-it noted it. Which as someone with ADHD? That’s the highest honor I can give you. I’ll be listening to it later when my eyes notice it, panic, and then realize I was supposed to listen to it ages ago so I scramble to listen to it while doing something else.
