History and specifics[]

When Benny Russell was creating the stories about Benjamin Sisko and Deep Space 9 in the 1950s, he imagined Sisko as being like Humphrey Bogart's character Rick Blaine, or a combination of Blaine and Renault. (DS9 novelization: Far Beyond the Stars)

In 1999, following a harrowing encounter with an asteroid approaching Earth, a time traveling Spock and Q agreed to get lattes. Q then quoted Blaine's last line from the film. Addressing Spock, he said "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship". (ST audiobook: Spock vs. Q: The Sequel)
