Not even remotely. It's a reference to a very fine miniseries called The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns. At one point a group of leprechauns are going to a floating castle by riding inside a soap bubble (leprechauns can't fly, remember?), and one says "What's that smell?" Another says "That's clean. You wouldn't have smelled it before." It's a comment on leprechaun hygeine. This is a reference that I only included for my own sake, and I knew going in that nobody would get it. The habits of Klingons regarding cleanliness just seemed like a great place to indulge myself. Plus, I get the additional joy of implying that Kang may have been "softened" a bit by his interactions with humans by at least learning subconciously to distinguish between dirty smells and clean smells.

In which case, 'very subtle' was indeed something of an understatement.

Very very subtle? Ubersubtle?

Roger Daltrey as the King of the leprechauns?

No, Colm Meany (yes, that's right, Smiley O'Brien himself) is the king of the leprechauns. Roger Daltrey is the king of the trouping fairies.

Believe it or not... I've seen that movie. And I remember the line, now that you mention it.
(Freak.) This is from Five-Minute "Azati Prime": Archer: Oh, gimme a break. You again? What do I have to do this time, go back to the 1960s to stop Gene Roddenberry from shooting JFK? Daniels: I'm more of a 40s man. But no, we're in the future, so I can explain something to you. I know how much you enjoy saving the future from yourself.... Archer: (nod) I'm a dangerous man. I *think* there are two references here. "I'm a dangerous man" is obviously a quote. And the "40s man" just sounds like a punchline of some kind. Anyone? EDIT: Also: Bouncer of the Underused Characters' Tavern: Welcome back, Mr. Mayweather. Welcome... home. I know I've heard that elsewhere. Can't remember where.

If it was possible (which it isn't), I'd almost say it was a reference to my fiver for His Way. Remember the discussion about what era Vic comes from? I know that the creators say '60s outright, but I STILL think that the '40s makes more sense.
