Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

Also, comic books are halfway to video.

New point:

Khan: Now that I've beamed to my ship and revived all of you, let's do a role call. Gomez?
Gomez: Here.
Khan: Phyllis?
Phyllis: Here.
Khan: Jebediah?....

Kirk: Well, here we are on normal bridge duty.
Redshirt: (over the comm) Khan's escaped!
Uhura: There's nothing we can do to stop him!
Khan: (over the comm) We're draining your air supply as we speak, right Octavio?
Octavio: (over the comm) Right
Kirk: Well, here we are screwed on the bridge.

What is with these names? I know there's a Democratic representative from our state named Phyllis Khan. Are they all Khan names of immense obscurity or what?

Never seen the episode, but I'd guess that given

Spock: Here he is: Khan Noonien Singh. Ruler of a quarter of the world, and the greatest of the genetically engineered tyrants.

and Hollywood's racial makeup during the 1960's, Khan's followers all looked like they came from the other three-quarters of the world.

Or possibly Khan's lackeys had weird names in the original episode, and GAFster ran with it and made them even weirder in the fiver.

We need a thread for "fiver jokes that occur to us years later." In this case, a counterpart to Paris' "Revenge of CONN" jokes, in this case, a CONN joke in the TWOK fiver.
