The episode (which I missed about a third of, actually) seemed to be one
long series of Star Trek and Trek-related references, which I found to
be wonderfully hillarious. The potshots at the actors were good, too,
especially the ones at Shatner.
It was a lot less weirding-out than the documentary "Trekkies". (Boy,
*that* has some bizarre people in it!)
