Engage. I'll drink tea, earl grey, hot.

Haha, you know i was reading that Picard was really the first captain to say “the thing” (an order to get underway as in engage). and also that in the current series Captain Pike says “hit it” which is kind of a cheeky homage to Star Wars in which Han Solo says “punch it” before engaging hyperdrive.

and that’s the nerd story for today. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I think a neat crossover would be to put the borg into the star wars universe and I'd probably watch it.

I think it would all be over fairly quickly if the Borg arrived.

If I am to understand the lore, the Borg would dominate.

That's what I was hoping you'd say. For me, Star Trek > Wars but I'm a nerd and like more sciencey words like conduit and re-boot.
