Needs Pulaski. She can say she was in TOS. Twice.

It's Betty, not Becky.

They had a campaign message?

To be fair (and pedantic) that is a 23rd century toilet.

Not to mention "plane" paper.

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson is this.

Also Tau Zero by Poul Anderson, to a degree.

This is what's called a Brushing Scam.

In the '70s there were several US adaptations of UK shows which were quite successful. All In The Family was based on Til Death Us Do Part, Sanford and Son was based on Steptoe and Son, and Three's Company was based on Man About The House. In these cases both versions were very successful in their own ways.

Blindsight by Peter Watts. One of the few books in recent memory to genuinely give me the creeps.

If you're looking for XCOM 40k, check out Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters. It unabashedly mimics XCOM and throws in the spaceship management from Battletech. I would say it's not quite as good as XCOM 2, but it's still pretty good. Bonus points if you're into 40k.

Though it was made in black and white as an artistic choice and not from the lack of availability of color film, I highly recommend Young Frankenstein.
