Revisiting another storyline I remember watching first time round- Ron Dixon getting in a turf war with his Moby, and finding out the other man was called "Dick Ronson"- i.e. Ron's name with the syllables rearranged- a bizarre but amusing break from reality.
And a detail I'd forgotten, after Dick gets Ron's Moby crushed, Ron mounts the cube on a plinth in his garden with a plaque and photo, another break from reality considering how heavy the cube would have been, you'd need a crane to get it onto the garden!
On that note, I've never been able to take the Borg in Star Trek seriously because of that storyline, I always think of Ron blubbering over his crushed Moby when I see a Borg cube and burst out laughing.
