I wonder if the time-travel plot of Star Trek IV was subconsciously planted.
Star Trek III was released in 1984, Back to the Future was released in 1985, Star Trek IV was released in 1986.
Did the writers watch Back to the Future, remember that Lloyd was in Star Trek III, and unknowingly self-suggest they write a time travel story?
"You are currently situated amongst the thick foliage of an M-class planet. Presently, it is the nocturnal phase of that region. Therefore, your visibility is severely limited."
"Your 'jams' have come to an end, mon Capitan."
Kirk beams down to a planet

I read the whole thing in Sirtis' disappointed mom voice.
I think part of the confusion is that they're looking for a jet.
They should be looking for a few scraps of metal, one of the wheels, and a charred crater.
That other moment when you realize Tim Russ played, like, four other characters in Star Trek alone.
Dumar: "Well, helloooo!"
200,000 Jeffrey Combs? I see this as an absolute win.
DS9 at 100% efficiency is Miles by himself.
When everyone else is there touching things, and pushing buttons, and dumping the transporter buffer into the fucking Holosuite, then efficiency drops significantly.
I honestly want to raid Jake Sisko and Riker's closets.
I also kind of wanna peek inside Yar's closet as well.
It.
Wasn't?
