The creators of Star Trek have a thing for Moby Dick. I believe that’s the novel where Melville goes into great detail about the phrase “Make it so”.

I feel full of trivia today.

The phrase “Make it so,” to my knowledge, is part of Britain’s Royal Naval tradition. The occasional tar-heel who also enjoyed ST:TNG was delighted to hear Picard utter that line. Most of the rest of the Trekkers & Trekkies, though, tended to assume it was created for the series.

These would be a thoughtful gift for a ship’s cook, though, as well as for one’s favorite Trekker with a culinary bent…

“Star Trek did NOT invent that phrase.”

They didn’t make it, so?

By the way, anyone think the main part should be bifurcated to allow a “live long and prosper” gesture?

Sounds like Picard has a cold.
