It's also a reference to that one episode of TNG where Crusher gets trapped in a collapsing universe built around her fear of dying alone. There's like, six or seven different Trek episodes they were subtly referencing in this one.

Or not so subtly.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fights between Alara and Evil Issac? I was wincing at some of those beats.

I get the feeling that they spent a good chunk of their choreography/stunt budget on this episode, because the fight scenes were cool and good.

It just strikes me as very peculiar that a non-Wagon Train watcher would have any interest in Star Trek whatsoever, but all right then.

vvvv That's exactly what they were.

So they're going to parody Geordi LaForge moving from junior bridge officer to Chief Engineer? Nice.

The only way this could have been more delicious is if LeVar Burton had directed this episode.

Understandably they couldn't afford to work in a full CGI character to a main cast role though

It wouldn't surprise me if it cost more money to pay Norm MacDonald to voice the character than it does to CGI the character.

Also these guys whole thing was that they were rebellious vulcans who loved to laugh and eat and have a good time and maybe rape a little.
