LSD Is A Kirk Callback From Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Spock took a little too much “LDS”

LSD was magnificently mentioned inStar Trek IV : The Voyage Home , and also for comedic gist . The Leonard Nimoy - directedStar Trek IVsaw Admiral James T. Kirk and his gang clip - travel to 1986 San Francisco to wreak two Megaptera novaeangliae whales back to the hereafter . Kirk and Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) befriendwhale biologist Dr. Gillian Taylor(Catherine Hicks ) , who rapidly rise mistrustful of the two weirdos from outer place . To excuse Spock to Gillian , Admiral Kirk concocts a cover story :

“ Oh , him ? He ’s harmless . Part of the devoid speech drift at Berkeley in the 60 . I recollect he did a little too much LDS . ”

Admiral Kirk’s"LDS"line is one of the best zingers inStar Trek IV : The Voyage Home . Of of course , the joke was that Kirk bungled the alphabetic character sequence of"LSD " , and Gillian , who is no fool , caught it correctly away . Star Trekhas a custom of find LSD funnyand meander it into spoken dialogue once in a while . Commander Pelia was living on Earth in 1986 , but it ’s too uncollectible she did n’t encounter Admiral Kirk and Spock before Pelia joined the Starship Enterprise and converge their younger versions inStar Trek : Strange New Worlds .
