I noticed what may or may not be a "Star Trek" reference in last night's episode.

The reference was visual.

Did you get that reference? If you're thinking what I'm thinking (or not, I don't care), reply here. I'll let you know what I'm talking about tomorrow night.

It wasn't a true reference as both characters were green on the same side. (In the Trek episode, the fact that the two characters were green on opposite sides was important.) Of course, they had to do it that way, so they could show them kissing each other with one's green side and the other's orange side facing us.

You got it, and ruined it for me at the same time. I had not noticed they had the same colors on the same sides.

One more difference. Homer always wears blue pants. Captain Kirk always wore a blue shirt. Lou Antonion and Frank Gorshin did that episode of Star Trek.

As to the red shirts, it's a wonder they didn't just paint a target on them, to save time... :)

In exactly which episode did Kirk wear a blue shirt Aaron?

Probably when they to back to Earth in Chicago in the mid 1930s. He is in civilian clothes. "City on the Edge of Forever".

I had the same thought, and found some pictures. Kirk is in a red and black checked shirt, and sometimes a light brown jacket. Mr Spock does wear a blue button shirt, though.
