The use of popular music from the end of the 20th century in Star Trek has always been a little cube, not just from everything, because it asks the question: why This A special song stands on the test of time? It can also extract viewers from the moment, creating a little cognitive dissonance because suddenly find themselves Listening to the sounds of Beastie Boys or Wyclef Jean in the scientific world of Star Trek.

Spack and Laan (Christina Chong) also get a chance to dance together, hinting at a potential future romance between the two.

But why "woke me up before you go?" Honestly, why not? The 1984 song was the first number one hit for WHAM! Both in the United States and in the UK, and it is a kind of pop bubbles that only seems destined to withstand the test of time.
