Why would he ever answer questions about a television series when he has a zombie dog with him and he's working for a spooky alien ghost!? Ugh, just cancel her. Now.

"It was not in Russian. My English - it is not so good now - but at the time, it is much worse. I understand maybe… one word in three. I am in jail then, so I cannot Google words."
"You were in jail?" asks Amie. This is the first she's heard about this.
"No," he says, sounding confused. "I mean - yes, but also no. I do not know… I am in jail, but not jail - jail for soldiers. We had television there, very small one with satellite antenna. Mostly we get the English 'Space' channel. Captain Kirk, lots of Captain Kirk."
Of course. Captain Kirk. That makes sense.
Amie is completely lost.
