Storyline
The sci-fi television series Galaxy Quest, which took place aboard the intergalactic spaceship NSEA Protector, starred Jason Nesmith as suave Commander Peter Quincy Taggert, Gwen DeMarco as sexy communications person Lt. Tawny Madison (a role which consisted solely of repeating what the computer stated, much to Gwen's annoyance), Shakespearean trained Sir Alexander Dane as alien Dr. Lazarus, Fred Kwan as engineer Tech Sgt. Chen, and Tommy Webber as child gunner Laredo. Seventeen years after the show last aired, it lives on in the hearts of its rabid fans. However it lives on in infamy for its stars, who have not been able to find meaningful acting work since. Their current lives revolve around cashing in on however those roles will afford, which usually entails attending fan conventions or worse, such as shopping mall openings. Only Jason seems to relish his lot in life, until he finds out that his co-stars detest him because of his superior attitude as "the Commander"... Written by Huggo

Trivia
The rock monster is a mock tribute to William Shatner, who desperately wanted to put rock monsters in the climax of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but had to cut them out of his script for budgetary reasons. There are a couple of references to Star Trek episode #1.18, "Arena", particularly the suggestion to "build a weapon" during Jason's encounter with the rock monster. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the crew is trying to explain television shows to the thermians in the scene after the mine field, Gwen mentions Gilligan's Island. After Mathesar says "those poor people", Alexander says "Oh, brother", but his lips are not moving. See more »Quotes
