I love that episode, but I’ve never really comes to terms with Nemoy teleporting out.
While I’m mostly on Groening team with regards to not breaking the supernatural barrier, I am completely okay with how Homer completely defies the laws of physics and stops the monorail with the giant M.
But maybe I just don’t get the joke of Spock teleporting out. Why was that “... just such a funny joke that we had to do it”?
- Mountain_Skies 6y agoThere was an episode of Night Court in which a group of attendees from a Star Trek convention end up in court due to fighting over Kirk vs Picard. While Night Court had its share of zany characters, including one whose actor would go on to play the part of Commander Data, it rarely, if ever, broke the supernatural barrier. That is until that episode when a few of the Trekkies appearing before the court beamed out before they could be held in contempt. While good for a chuckle, it seemed out of character for the show. Guess when writers are dealing with Star Trek, the transporter is simply too irresistible to use.
