A sci-fi TV show, later turned into a long movie sequel.

Mentioned here for some obscure reason. Maybe they used Tcl in the Enterprise...

...it turns out that Tcl's [clock scan] supports Star Trek's stardate notation:

 % clock scan "stardate 20 . 20"
 -756604800

I've no idea who added this or why. I cannot see it in the documentation either. Strikes me as needless code bloat. Does *anyone* use this?
