I keep thinking about the killer clown from the Orville episode Firestorm. Which was basically the same thing - a manifestation of fear.

It’s also worth noting that Voyager alum Brannon Braga directed that episode of The Orville.

Not a hot take, the truth. Doing abstract things like that is where Star Trek excelled.

Worf, from the Deep Space Nine episode Homefront:

“Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.”

That’s the best way to describe what a Klingon is; Zero fucks, 100% of the time.

Bashir’s genetically enhanced brain trying to figure out what O’Brian said:

You can’t convince me that that’s not an Orca.

Orcas have always been friends to humans that do not own yachts.

A dungeon suddenly becomes the corridors of the Nostromo. No matter where you hide, the skeletons can sense your BONES!

He was a damned REAPER!

My comment was in response to what the assistant producer said. Specifically, the very last line.

But you all do you.

He’s describing liminal space. It has nothing to do with being tricked into thinking you’re on a space station. It’s about being somewhere our brain knows should have lots of people, but you’re alone.

I’ve walked through train stations late at night and had those moments before. A gaping maw of a walkway meant for rush hour pedestrian traffic… completely empty and silent.

Edit: ??? I guess liminal space is really upsetting for some people.

It’s something I didn’t think about when they were always there and it’s something I continued to not think about when they were gone. Fireplaces.

When I moved from America to Japan 11 years ago, I never saw a house or apartment that had a fireplace ever again. And even though I grew up with one, and associate a lot of fond memories with it, I don’t really miss it and don’t think it’s necessary in a modern home.

The closest the Japanese ever had to a fireplace was a hearth in the common room for cooking. Those became extinct a long time ago and are now only found in the few larger pre-war buildings that still remain.

Wow, I forgot about Silverlight.

TIL.

I believe you meant to say; “Vegetarian space socialists who are always right.”
