Would you hire someone who had never watched Star Trek? If you would, why ask a question that would make that person feel excluded?

We very much would, and do. It's a question to instigate an opinion based response. We do not ask every question every time, it's simply an example set.

I'd honestly be wondering if this were a team I'd want to be on. I believe you that knowledge of a particular corner of pop culture isn't important on your team, but I don't know that as an interviewee. I just know you're awaiting my answer about a series of TV shows I stopped watching in high school.

I also wouldn't know what to say about the display one. I don't keep up on display technology.
