Boomers getting confused and watching the wrong movie so they can talk about it around the water cooler at work, only to discover that they saw the wrong shit. :michael-laugh:

This is just the plot of that Star Trek episode with the Gorn
Also, X-Files did that same shit too, Ice is just a rip off of The Thing. Wild that so many shows just stole movie plots.
Was it? I don't remember this being the plot but it's been years since I watched Enterprise, but isn't Darmok in TNG also basically the same plot just presumably less plagiarised?
It was in the Original Series. Darmok is pretty similar but that situation was created intentionally by the aliens so they could come to some sort of understanding.
If it was TOS, then Enemy Mine would have just been a rip-off of it? Apparently there are 3 episodes of Star Trek that use parts of this plot, those being The Enemy and Darmok from TNG, and Dawn from Enterprise. Two of those I guess I just erased from my memory because let's be real, Darmok was the best of the three.
Of course, there's also the SG-1 episode that used the same name, same plot, and of course the Unas look remarkably similar to the aliens in Enemy Mine because they just... Remade the movie within Stargate for some reason (although it was a really fucking good episode)
