USS Clueless - Fantasy and Science Fiction

Den Beste is making fun of the poster for Disney's "Treasure Planet", which is just what it sounds like -- a version of Treasure Island set in space, with Long John Silver an alien or an android or pure energy or something like that. Ever since I saw that this was coming out I've been tickled by the idea of an SF character talking like Silver:

"Arr, Jim-lad, our starboard shields are are 42 percent."
"Squire Trelawney, them scurvy Klingons have armed photon torpedoes."

But I'm juvenile that way.
