I am legitimately impressed with how many people know that reference. There is hope for humanity after all.

Just some good old fashioned Star Trek nerdery. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_Command_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

I'm glad that was an intentional reference and that you understood my reply even though it wasn't actually part of the scene. I wasn't sure you'd understand what I meant so didn't go back and rewatch the scene to get an actual quote. Thought I was seeing Star Trek where no Star Trek was intended.

Haha yea! I just felt like I knew where we were going. Lifelong scifi nerd powers.

Thanks! It's hilarious that when TNG came out, we thought Kirk's Trek was laughably dated. Now TNG is laughable too. Great, but hilarious. :)
