Not at all. The Earth may not be capable of Warp Drive and beaming, but their beaming out of the courtroom does not affect the culture in any way. We already have knowledge about such things because of Star Trek in all its incarnations.

I mean this was before the Internet. You couldn’t just Google for show accurate costumes.

[@mkq0007]

Only if Brentwood Spine made a cameo then this be perfect.

[@mikemac2888]

?

[@buckaroobanzai7063]

Why the ?

[@YeoYeo32]

Mike, Brent Spiner had a recurring role on Night Court, as the father of a backwoods family from Appalachia, before he played Data on TNG. That's probably why the writers had the two groups fighting over androids (specifically Data) being on a starship. I can't remember if Spiner showed up on Night Court again after TNG started.

[@sha11235]

No, he never did, sadly. Guess he was too busy playing Data to do that. As a matter of fact, that's why he was written out of Her Honor when they resumed the next season.

And when you remember that John Laroquette played the surviving Klingon on the Bird of Prey in Star Trek III...

[@angelcdeath]

Wtf, Night Court... I used to stay up "late" to watch this every night.

[@racefan32]

This would have worked so much better if Brent Spiner had appeared as a Cmd. Data fan, lol

Funny to have Maltz prosecuting them!!!

[@thepeternetwork]

Just to let you fellas know, the Night Court continuation is being held back until the mid-season period instead of the 2022-2023 season like they said they would. This worries me.

[@kurtgarvin3032]

Funnier because John Larroquette played maltz in Star Trek 3. LOL

[@edwardbroeckling9602]

HOW DID THEY DO THAT BEAMING UP?! I THOUGHT THAT VIOLATED THE WELL-KNOWN BUT UNWRITTEN LAWS OF THE TELEVISION MULTI-VERSE!!! WHAT THE FREAKING CRAP?!

The rules of Comedy, overwrite the Unwritten Laws of the Television Multi-verse. Comedy bends the laws of physics. Why do you think Harry fined Wile E. Coyote on the same show?

Thank you, so many of them get it wrong it drives me crazy.

I can!

But can you do it with your right hand if you're a lefty, or vice versa?

[@Sindraug25]

@@markschroeder2578 I'm righthanded, but it is much easier for me to do it with my left hand. With my right, my pinkie wants to move away from the ring finger, but I can still do it if I don't try to spread it too far.

[@thebammer5166]

@@markschroeder2578 I'm right handed, but every time I try to do it with my right hand my index finger separates from the middle finger. However. I have no such problem doing the Vulcan salute with my left hand.

[@Miafunfactory]

Okay this is why the old show crushes the new show. The new show is cute and nostalgic. Old Night Court is Abbot & Costello quality. Seen it before..knew the setup. Still got a giggle... Old Night Court is Goated

[@mikeneil798]

FUN FACT!! Dan played by John Larroquette here played a KLINGON in Star Trek 3 Search for Spock

[@agrondinsmith85]

Real Star Trek fans can point out all that was wrong with those supposed Trekkies, but the episode was still funny. It would have been good if Bob Wheeler was one of them.

[@Djarra]

If you watch the whole show he and his family make a comeback special appearance as the next case.

[@Cleptrio]

You know,as someone who believes them self to be a fairly normal and well adjusted person,I really hate how much their imprecise use of Star Trek terms irritates me (there's no such thing as a Vulcan death grip!).

[@slade307]

However, Spock does mention the Vulcan Death Grip whether it's real or not. Spock used it to fake Kirk's death in front of a Romulan Commander. (Season 3 - The Enterprise Incident) However, they did get it wrong here. Spock put his hand on Kirk's face to do the death grip. It does exist as a trick. Vulcan Death Grip is also the name of a song which I have not heard yet. Not really interested in hearing it. Curiosity might get the better of me some day.

[@slade307]

I admit I did have to look it up to jog my memory because I remembered Death Grip being mentioned in the series. I watched TOS very often when I was like 4 or 5 years old - before having a VCR and before any movies or spin-offs were made. Kept watching those reruns. I also watched TAS whenever any channel managed to show it.

[@xn0gaming]

nerdy as fuck

[@r0bw00d]

Not to mention imprecise hand gestures. That's not how you do the Vulcan salute!

[@mikechristie3183]

Shhhh, The beauty of the Vulcan Death Grip is observers and the victim not knowing it's a Spockian fabrication.

[@dcavalli9]

Was this before or after Wile E. Coyote showed up in court?

I loved Bull.he was so kool..

1:00 I love that Harry's basically telling them to get a life, lol. (I'm a Trekkie, btw so I can say this. ;D)

[@WalkaCrookedLine]

Why the fuck is the Spock guy wearing an orange shirt? No actual Trek fan would be so clueless. Spock is the science officer, he wears a blue shirt, dammit. With the fanboy rant out of the way, I'll mention I do love Night Court, and wish more episodes were available.

[@MrTree1779]

You're really asking why the wardrobe people at Night Court aren't die-hard Trek lovers. Possibly because they did Night Court's wardrobe, not Star Trek's?

[@WalkaCrookedLine]

+Joe Bagnato Thanks for the heads up. I have been trying to complete my Night Court collection for years, but it seems like for a long time only seasons 1-3 were available. Around 8-10 years ago I was so frustrated at not having a legal option I bought a pirate set claiming to be the complete series; it was way short, only maybe 1/3 of the actual episodes, and most of those from seasons 1-3. About what you ought to expect buying pirate DvDs from a shady company, I suppose. Unfortunately I no longer have the expendable income I used to, and don't think I can squeeze the season 4-9 releases into my budget. Netfix used to have season 1-3 on DvD. But they aren't available streaming, I no longer have a DvD plan on my Netflix, and Netfix's retarded search function won't tell you exactly what DvDs are available unless you already have a DvD plan. Does anyone know if any or all of the Night Court season 4-9 DvDs are available through Netflix?

[@greginvidious8397]

Maybe he's not Spock but instead he's the second Vulcan to join Starfleet?

[@dadoctah]

Vulcans were in the Federation long before anyone from Earth made it. *We* joined *them*.

no. Earth was one of the four founding members of the Federation
