We're almost halfway through 2024, and you know what that means! It's time to see if any historical event referenced in Star Trek has occurred yet! Lieutenant Commander Data referenced the Irish Reunification of 2024 in the episode "The High Ground." This line got the episode removed from its first run in the UK, and to this day, some networks refuse to syndicate it. It broadcast on the BBC for the first time 17 years after its initial release. As expected, it hasn't materialized quite yet, but we've still got time.
The most famous 2024 episode comes from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. "Past Tense" follows Commander Sisko, Dr. Bashir, and Jadzia Dax as they materialize in 2024 San Fransisco and find themselves in a walled-off homeless district on the eve of a history-making riot. While these plotlines might not take place this year, it's always interesting to see where Star Trek thought we'd be at this point. If you are holding out for either one of these events, your whimsical soul might enjoy some Star Trek memes.
