You asked about the Star Trek reference, and it pertains to the Borg, villains introduced in The Next Generation. One of the characters on the Voyager show who has now showed up again in Picard is a former Borg called 7 of 9, the name referencing her role in a small group and having that cold, impersonal feel because they're mind-wiped cyborgs.
Hello Thaddeus, I'm glad you enjoyed my article. You could fit my knowledge of Star Trek in a teacup, so thank you for your insight. Fortunately, I do know who the Borg is/are, and, in the Star Trek universe, I guess I would be 1 of 4. I see you're also a writer, and I look forward to checking out your substack. It's fun to discover what people enjoy writing about, and I enjoyed your article, 'Writing a Modern Classic'. It's my goal someday to be published, and it's always fun to find encouragement. Cheers!
Hello Nick! Thank you for your comments, and perspective. (haha, my dad totally brought a camcorder to Disney in the 80’s…disclaimer, my dad did not film Body Wars). Did you visit Epcot in the 80’s?
We just returned from a Disney Cruise, and the ship was a treasure trove of Disney art and pop culture. We really enjoyed ourselves, and I’m working on my next article. Take care, and thanks for reading!
Fanatic article.

Ha. Fantastic article, I meant to say.
Excellent article! I feel you with the creative desire being older and less in touch with my youth. There’s so much adulthood gives and takes.
Loved the research (and video! What’s up camcorders!) into Body Wars. I had no idea that existed. In true Disney fashion, entertainment and education.
