Sherlockian link in Star Trek
- Spock was born in 2230 from a human mother, Amanda Grayson, and a Vulcan father, Ambassador Sarek. In the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, he said: "An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however unlikely, must be the truth." The author of this quote is Sherlock Holmes. This reference has to be credited to Nicholas Meyer, the writer of the film, which is also author of The Seven Percent Solution pastiche.
