Imagine Jurassic World but Chris Pratt’s character is a woman. The whole film is exactly the same, but instead of Owen we have Olivia. It makes more sense that Olivia is the alpha of Raptor Squad, because all the raptors are female as well. Olivia and Claire argue about shoes (”They’re actually pretty comfortable for heels.” “I have a spare pair of boots in the truck for the LOVE OF GOD please borrow them.” “I’m fine! I can walk miles in these!” “You’re weird.”) They save each other’s lives. They make out. They walk into the sunset together. Gal pals who defeated the dinosaurs. The End.
God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.
“Never did like that much,” is a baller and superb way to express your irritation with the way the patriarchy refuses to acknowledge how badass you are.
Word.
Before World War I, she shot a cigarette out of the mouth of the Kaiser of Germany at his request.
After the war started she sent him a letter asking for another chance, as she was afraid her aim might’ve been a little off.
oz being ultimate boyfriend material ♡ This is what I do know. I miss you. Like, every second. Almost like I lost an arm, or worse, a torso. So, I think I’d be willing to… give it a shot.
In a bid to engage communities outside the park fence,a reserve hired 26 local jobless female high-school graduates, and put them through an intensive tracking and combat training programme. Kitted out in second-hand European military uniforms, paid for by donations, the women were deployed throughout a 40,000 hectare reserve.
The numbers suggest the approach works. In the last 10 months the reserve has not lost a rhino, while a neighbouring reserve lost 23. Snare poaching has dropped 90%. [x]
Feel free to add ones I’ve forgotten and attack/defend the plausability/implausibility of them.
Transwarp Beaming
From a relatively stationary start to a ship at warp. From Earth all the way to Kronos (144 light years). A software patch to the regular transporter, invented by Scotty, whose alternate self almost died using it to beam to the Enterprise, and who had previously lost Admiral Archer’s beagle when attempting to demonstrate it (Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness)
Subspace Beaming
Across several light-years. A minor modification considered dangerous, known to the Federation and Ferengi. Possibly the same as transwarp beaming. (TNG: “Bloodlines”) The Dominion also had transporters with extreme range (10+ light years), they could use theirs to pluck people from distant targets, something Transwarp beaming may be unable to do.
Beaming Into an Alternate Reality
First done accidently during an ion storm, replicated a century later using a handheld gizmo which interfaces with a regular transporter (downloading extra software?) (TOS: “Mirror, Mirror”, DS9: “Shattered Mirror” etc.)
Beaming Through Time
With the aid of some time-limited technobabbly particles, O’Brien was able to beam people to various periods in Earth’s history. (DS9: “Past Tense”)
Cure All/Anti Ageing/Re-Ageing
Where to start? Kirk and Spock are de-aged in TAS: “The Lorelai Signal”, the entire crew are made their proper sizes again in “The Terratin Incident”, the baby crew are re-aged at the end of “The Counter-clock Incident”, Dr. Pulaski is cured of an ageing disease in TNG: “Unnatural Selection”, the crew are de-aged into children in "Rascals" and it’s reversed the same way at the end. I’m sure there are a few I’ve forgotten.
Epic Pause Mode
Scotty kept himself alive in the transporter for 70 years, in TNG: “Relics”. The guy he was in there with didn’t make it.
Splitting, Duplicating and Merging
Kirk is split into good and evil halves in TOS: “The Enemy Within” but both are merged again at the end, Captain Christopher is (pointlessly?) beamed into his slightly-earlier self in “Tomorrow is Yesterday”, Will Riker is xeroxed in TNG: “Second Chances”, Tuvok and Neelix, with the aid of a magical plant, merged into one being and then somehow separated again months(?) later (VOY: “Tuvix”)
Become a ghost
The inventor of the transporter lost his son in early experiments (ENT: “Daedalus”), and he spent the next 20 years appearing as a ghost and attacking people.
So basically, someone with a regular transporter and the right set of software mods could beam anywhere in the galaxy, become virtually immortal, skip centuries in an instant, raise an army of clones and hop between universes, Sliders-style.
my favorite trope is the thing star trek does where when a character lists something and they’ll list real things/people but add 1 thats fictional, like “great writers such as shakespeare, robert frost, edgar allan poe and zaxar the giant rat man“
