Terminology
Zhilikam t'°Yel-Halek-Psthan°

As with all advanced cultures, the Vulcans had a great wealth of media, including genres similar to Terran science fiction, although the idea of a spoof is beyond them. The the 20th Century C.E. Terran movie Galaxy Quest has captivated viewers for centuries, due to the themes of genocide, subjugation by hostile enemies and the fight for survival against great odds. As with many original Terran viewers, peoples of the Federation cannot understand why such an entertaining movie did not spawn sequels. Some people consider the movie one of the best of its genre.
