Fact #93209
When:
Short story:
The Squire of Gothos, an episode of the sci-fi tv series Star Trek, is broadcast in the USA for the first time. The script includes a conversation in which Ensign Sulu asks, "Captain, how far do we go along with this charade?" to which Captain Kirk replies, "Until we can think our way out. Meanwhile, we accept his hospitality." In Bob Dylan's 1985 song Tight Connection To My Heart [Has Anybody Seen My Love], the lyric includes the lines, "I'll go along with the charade, Until I can think my way out." It is widely assumed that Dylan, a known Star Trek fan, took his inspiration from this Sulu-Kirk dialogue.
