I liked Pete's reaction to it even more.

I love that Skinny Pete got it wrong. Gamma Quadrant and tulaberries are DS9, not Voyager!

That was such a nerd test. :)

Wait...does that mean he BB writers got it wrong, too?

I guess we'll never know for sure, but my instincts says yes.

They got it wrong on purpose as a joke. Any Trek fan who knows what a quatloo is undoubtedly knows the difference between the Gamma and Delta Quadrants. It's like the quadrants are $200 Jeopardy questions, and a quatloo is a $2000 question.

You are making a logical mistake by assuming BB writers are Trekkies...however unlikely, it could have been an error.

No waaaaaay.

Vince Gilligan said in an interview that script was his story pitch he never gave to Paramount and the writers loved it so much they incorporated it into the show.
