Well all I can tell you is where the NCC 1701 came from as for why name it enterprise is beyond me, I have also noticed startrek seeping into alot of other non related shows, Especially Stargate SG-1 episode the Other Guys. And Some show my sibling was watching had one of the cartoon characters dressed like a borg for halloween, and there are some others that I can't quite remeber

Yeah hypospray has been around for decades, it's generally more painful than needle and is used in mass injection scenarios, like at a military recruit depot that can process hundreds of people a day, it saves on the cost of needles.
