everything that miguel knows about the present day comes wholly secondhand from xina because they spent twenty years of friendship taking turns infodumping at each other over old star trek reruns. miguel doesn’t know who ben hurr is, but he heard the name from xina at some point so for the sake of the “her? / no, ben hurr!” gag, he’ll go ahead and make the reference anyways. he is not as worldly as he talks himself up to be he’s just pretentious (affectionate)
