The main comic is a single panel imitating a dramatic film or TV title card: white text centered on a plain black background reading "Two centuries before there was the Starship Enterprise... there was a city." Below the black panel, a caption reads: "Marketing Tip: Any show set in real life can technically be marketed as a Star Trek prequel series" — the joke being that any present-day show is set centuries before Star Trek's future timeline and so could be billed as a prequel. The votey is a hand-drawn box containing handwritten text: "I think you could get about 4 seasons in before nerds figured out they'd been duped."
