Just previously started x-men series... 
Had to look up an earlier post
The joke is a direct reference to a famous, iconic scene from Patrick Stewart’s time as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation (the two-part episode "Chain of Command"). [1]

- The Scene: Picard is captured and brutally tortured by a Cardassian interrogator (played by David Warner), who shines lights into his face and tries to force him to hallucinate or lie and say he sees five lights when there are physically only four.
- The Climax: At his breaking point, Picard screams his most famous line in defiance: "There! Are! Four! Lights!"
- The Punchline: Lighting only four candles while claiming there are five (or vice versa, mimicking the interrogator's gaslighting) is a dark, affectionate Star Trek fan-in-joke honoring Stewart's passing by recreating the exact psychological torture test from his most famous dramatic monologue.

...and the Four Lights scenario was borrowed from Orwell's 1984.

If you want to play that game, his greatest film was in 1981 with Helen Mirren naked and Liam Neeson questing for the Grail, where I learned as a child to love the Carmina Burana.

Good stuff:
There has never been another television show like Star Trek: The Next Generation, and there might never be one again. It is the greatest TV show ever made, not by dint of a difference in degree, but because of a difference in kind. It is a drama of pure optimism. Every other show tries to thrill us by showing us how bad or how ridiculous or how exciting someone else’s world could be; Star Trek: TNG thrills us by showing us how beautiful our own world could become.

Farewell, my Captain
A TV character gave us a glimpse of what humanity might become.
