Bonus 30 Rock Crossover:
Ash Tyler: This is my wife, Janelle Tyler, maiden name Tyler. Hopefully no relation.
Oh wow that’s weird. Stargate SG-1 also had an episode where a Lt. Tyler turned out to be an alien infiltrator in disguise: “The Fifth Man”.
That's crazy. Is this a trope I'm just now learning about?
Oooh, nice catch, both of you. I dunno if Disco or The Orville used "Lieutenant Tyler" as the character name intentionally, but I think you might be the first to document this trope.
If a character named Tyler shows up on Lower Decks we’ll all be on red alert
I was shadowbanned from /r/risa for making a shitpost about it a few years ago 😅
Maybe in the future "Tyler" is just the most common human surname?
Anyone named Smith is instantly suspicious.
Clem Fandango, of course.
"Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango!"
…I am amused that I never caught that before either, and I’m rewatching disco right now lol
Seska from Star Trek Voyager is another example, though she's a Cardassian in the form of a Bajoran, not a human
Is her last name Tyler?
This also happened in an episode of The Outer Limits (spoilers: https://theouterlimits.fandom.com/wiki/The_Light_Brigade)
The name "Tyler" originates from "tile maker", as in roof tiles. Apparently that occupation is just popular with spies?

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.
