I am desperate to start doing these. Find a bunch of Non Trek fans and just give them the most off the wall, insane, ridiculous no context screenshot and have them try to explain.

    Having never watched star trek:

    Jokey answer: recess but they have access to deadly weaponry and only the strongest will make it to maths class.

    Serious answer: I presume this is some kind of proof-by-combat scenario? A local culture demands the protagonists fight one of their own in some cactus-pugilism jungle-gym arena in order to prove their worth, and only then will they grant them whatever boon they asked of these people?

      Pretty close! as I recall it’s some honor based thing? the story isn’t… very good. iirc the main king guy wanted to bone the star trek lady that’s fighting in that clip, which upset his favorite wife, so the wife challenged the star trek lady to combat to the death. Why said combat takes place in a jungle gym is anyones guess.
