Space may be the final frontier, but Star Trek is a well-explored universe by now. Captain Kirk, the Enterprise, transporters, phasers, tricorders and Klingons are part of our common language. But there's still tons of insane stuff you've never heard about Trek.

That was a disgusting personal issue that should have remained personal but we got our first taste of Obama there.
I’m guessing Jeri Ryan didn’t vote for Obama.
Mudd was a good character. An intergalactic ne’er do well.
There was a girl robot in one episode, maybe the same one who was about as pretty as a girl gets.
It's in the playbook.
The Klingons got smoothe heads for TOS from Kingon doctors trying to create “augments” [Augmented Klingons] from human augment DNA - ST Enterprise, season 3 or 4
They got bumpy heads again because they cured the “augments” virus [alluded to at the end of the augment arc in ST Enterprise]
Real reason was TOS had a crappy budget and couldn’t afford the prosthetic foreheads.
Chekov wasn’t in season one, and therefore never met Khan, making the confrontation on Seti Alpha 5 — in which Khan recognizes Chekov — a nonsequitur. There, I’m out. :’)
Only if they owed you one or you owed them one.
Whose divorce led to us getting Obama.
Just don’t take her to a sex club, you’ll reget it.
Given when it is, I thought they’d include that Lucille Ball made the show possible...
It’s been explained in some of the novels as being two kinds of Klingons, one is the ruling class, the others are commoners.
Amazingly, NBC wanted to cancel the show because of lousy ratings. It was on Friday nites at 10PM. I was a freshman in college the year the show started. On Friday nites, we’d have an open house at the fraternity..what we used to call a “pig party”...( not wanting to offend anyone...) we’d have a few kegs, some bags of chips...the juke box..and hundreds of girls would show up...( hey, it was the 60’s) BUT at 10pm...the music would stop, and EVERYONE would crowd into the TV room to watch Star Trek....you knew it was gonna be BIG!!!

No she didn’t...even though she played a brainless droid which is comparable to today’s Obamatons.
“I still could not believe that Ryan’s congressman husband CHEATED on her. There are just things in this universe that are unexplainable...like dude, she’s hot.”
There’s an old saying, I don’t know if it applies to her, but... “No matter how hot she is, somewhere there’s a guy who’s tired of putting up with her sh!t.”
Of course, he must just have been an idiot.
That's in #4
That must have been where I read it.
