A low-tech solution
In last Saturday’s Doctor Who, a spaceship has crashed somewhere in London, and the Doctor doesn’t know exactly where. His cunning plan is to ask around, but his companion Rose is disappointed in him: “Not very ‘Spock’, is it: just asking? I think you should do a scan for alien tech. Give me some ‘Spock’! For once, would it kill ya?”
If only Enterprise was still on, and we could somehow have a crewman refer to an alien as “one of those mindless killer ‘Dalek’-types”. Then the circle would be complete 🙂
