Month: February 2024

Definitely Not an Allegory

Location: Enterprise-D observation lounge Panel 1: Star Trek TNG-style title: “Elocution.” Picard, looking left: “Your people understandably grow weary of the restrictions placed upon them. So they lash out violently at innocent civilians.” 2: Picard, looking right: “Your government responds with overwhelming force while doing little to protect civilian lives. Followed by even more restrictions in the name of protecting your citizens. This cycle of violence and cultural animus has been repeated for generations.” 3: Picard, flanked by Riker and Troi: “In my years of diplomacy, there is one universal constant: situations like this can always be improved if people are willing to talk and listen to each other. I’m pleased that you have all agreed to meet here in the spirit of clear, open communication.” 4: At the other end of the table, Mars is on the view screen. Sesame Street Martians stand on one side, saying “yip yip yip yip hello yip yip yip yip greetings yip yip yip.” Mars Attacks Martians stand at the other side, saying “Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!”

Good Advice is Hard to Take

Location: World Between Worlds Panel 1: Anakin Skywalker (old, ghost): “Are you having a rough day, Snips?” Ahsoka: “I lost a fight with some Sith and now I’m having a near-death experience. So yes.” Anakin: “I want you to meet a friend of mine who might be able to help.” 2: Optimus Prime (dead): “Hello, Ahsoka. My name is Optimus Prime.” Ahsoka: “Hello.” Optimus: “I have died many times in many universes. I’m between resurrections at the moment.” 3: Optimus: “When I find myself outmatched in battle, I often find that it’s helpful to convert into a truck and run over my opponents. Have you tried that?” Ahsoka: “I’m not sure that really applies to my situation.” 4: Optimus, chest open to reveal the Matrix: “When circumstances are especially bleak, I remember that I have a mystical artifact in my chest capable of lighting our darkest hour. Do you have a mystical artifact in your chest, Ahsoka?” Ahsoka: “I don’t think so. I’ve never actually looked…” 5: Optimus, kneeling, Matrix in hand, pokes Ahsoka with it: “Here. You can borrow mine.” Anakin: “Isn’t he great, Snips? Such generosity. Such gravitas.” Optimus: “Open up your chest panel. I think we can squeeze it in there. Please bring it back the next time you die.”
