Star Check Unconventional is the first segment of the fourteenth episode in season 2 of Dexter's Laboratory. It first aired on October 15, 1997.
In this episode, Dexter and his friends go to the Westside Convention Center to attend the Star Check convention, but they end up at a Darbie convention instead.
Left to right, "Spock," "Leonard McCoy," and Dexter as "James Kirk."
The fight between the employee and Dexter is a parody of the fight between Spock and James Kirk in the episode, "Amok Time".
Dexter's Friends in the back seat also appeared in D & DD. Only the blond-haired one is missing.
In this episode, Dexter's mom had a car of her own that was a luxury family wagon (this is its first and only appearance).
When Dexter shot the collectible Darbie Doll with the Turple, she fell on the ground beheaded but in the next scene, when the leader shouts, "SEIZE THEM!" the doll was back in the glass box unharmed.
The episode title is a play on Star Trek; the whole episode parodies various things in Star Trek TOS.
The song Dexter's mom sings is a parody of the original Star Trek theme.
Dexter refers to one of his friends as "Skins", presumably spoofing the nickname "Bones" of Doctor Leonard McCoy.
As Dexter and his friends walk down the aisle of dolls, they walk across three dolls that resemble Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, the three main protagonists of the TV show The Powerpuff Girls.
Errors[]
When Dexter and his friends arrive at the Star Check convention while disguised as dolls, Dexter is seen wearing his purple gloves, but in the next frame, they are gone.
Production Notes[]
This episode along with "Dexter Is Dirty" and "Ice Cream Scream" were produced in the same year of 1997 according to the credits.
