Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The show's title comes from a real 1953 Chuck Jones short, 'Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century,' which itself parodied Buck Rogers serials.

Cultural

Michael Dorn playing a robot after Worf essentially made him the sci-fi 'I am not a merry man' king — the casting is layered commentary on typecasting.
