If you mash up enough old stuff, you get something new.
I had a one off that used Eboshi and the lepers from Princess Mononoke, a nutty scientist who was basically Jack from the genetically engineered team on DS9, and the big boss was the Shrike from Hyperion. Plus a bit where a kid found a big pod in the forest, got really excited, brought it back to the village, and rolled it down a hill against another kid’s pod while shouting “Now this is pod racing!”
One player gave me two middle fingers for that. I regret nothing.
Point is making all those fit together into a coherent story isn’t a simple task. It’s also basically how Tarantino makes his movies.

Four hours wasted on a side story just to deliver a terrible joke is how you win D&D.
Sit back and enjoy an evening of fine literature.
the joke equivalent of a filibuster.
I fucking loved the genetically engineered humans. such wacky guys, and amazing when Bashir starts as the straight-man only to quickly succumb to their unhinged schemes and megalomania. peak Trek.
