The main cast end up in the future to help stop a star ship from landing into alien territory.
Tropes
- Affectionate Parody: To Star Trek as a whole.
- An Aesop: At the end of Zack's story, Ms. Tutweiller decides his story actually has a good message: if he doesn't change his behavior, his descendants might also be "adrift in the cosmos".
- Cassandra Truth: As the Diagnostic tries to examine as Mr. Moseby more, he claims he's not a robot, but it's dismissed as typical robot behavior.
- Dreadful Musician: Marcus and Bailey's demonstration of music to the aliens leaves something to be desired.
- Expecting Someone Taller: Turns out the aliens are very small and thus very easy to deal with.
- Generation Xerox: London's descendant Rome is childish, rich, not very intelligent, and being forced to attend high school on a ship like she is.
- Nested Story Reveal: It's revealed the whole episode was a story Zack was telling Ms. Tutweiller about why he hasn't finished his homework.
- Percussive Maintenance: All it takes to fix the navigation controls is a good hit.
- Red Shirt: Marcus lampshades on how the guy in red always dies, which is proven right when a nameless red shirt guy (and later Rome) falls out of an airlock.
- Samus Is a Girl: The Diagnostic examining Mr. Moseby is revealed to be an alien version of Ms. Tutweiller, who he nicknames Eyah.
- Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Robot Moseby after Eyah assumes he wants to show her weddings rings (he meant Saturn's rings).
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Robot Moseby explains that Zack's descendant, Zerk, tried to redirect the Starship Tipton to planet Bikini, only to break the navigation controls, leaving them stuck flying into alien territory. So Robot Moseby is sent to the past to kill Zack to prevent Zerk from being born.
- Shout-Out: Robot Moseby is one to The Terminator.
- Special Guest: Star Trek alumni George Takei as Rome Tipton.
- Theme Naming: Rome is named after another famous European city like London is.
