The weirdest thing to me is that beastie boys have been listened to by characters, and they reference Spock and the Vulcan neck pinch in intergalactic.

That one's easy - in The Voyage Home, when they go back to 1986, a busload of people saw Spock neck pinch a guy playing loud music, and Kirk said his name right afterward. Word spread about this and it became a popular urban legend, enough so that the Beastie Boys referenced it in a song 12 years later.

This is the first time I've been mad not to be on Reddit, because I want to spend money to give you something meaningless and gaudy.

This is like how the Sopranos and the Gilmore Girls both reference each other

Originals yes, prequels no.

It took a timeline with WW3 to stop George Lucas’ madness.

Also, Star Trek as entertainment is canon within the Star Trek universe, confirmed in the "Enterprise" TV finale.

I'm So Meta, Even This Acronym

Splain? I just finished ENT a month ago and don't remember that?

In fairness, my brain refuses to hold on to much of that finale. >:-[

They've probably played the holo-novel adaptation of Star Wars
