Here's a fun thought: Does the TV show Star Trek exist in the Star Trek universe?

Probably not, but this raises a lot of cool questions to geek out over!

@badastro The short lived West-German Star Trek rip-off "Raumpatrouille" (Space Patrol) had an episode in which an “utopist writer” gets to travel on a space cruiser during a combat patrol mission (thanks to his influencial father in law) and annoys the crew, who already hate it to have a civilian on board, by telling them that they’ll all be replaced by robots within a decade (later in the episode he’s taken hostage by a mad scientist trying to escape a prison planet).
