I’m walking around and talking to the people I know. And I see Terry Farrell standing off by herself. I’d never actually met her, so I sheepishly go up and introduce myself to her, and I said, ‘Ms. Farrell, I’m André Bormanis.’ ‘Oh, nice to meet you. What do you do on the show?’ I’m like, ‘I’m the science consultant. I’m the guy who puts all that technobabble into your dialogue.’ And she literally grabbed me by the lapels and lifted me off my feet. She’s six feet tall. She’s a very tall, striking woman. She’s, like, ‘You fucking asshole!’
Trek: This is science-fiction, but we want our science to at least sound plausible. Therefore, most of the time, our scientific explanations will be rooted in scientific fact or at the very least solid, generally accepted theory.
Gate: We’re about half and half. We try to make it plausible sometimes, but usually you just have to technobabble your way through it.
Wars: This man has a laser sword. Why does he have a laser sword? Because laser swords are cool. This is all the explanation you need.
the mission he’s referring to is the video game, which was basically “OH SHIT SOME GORN KILL ALL THE GORN JUST DO IT”
and meanwhile Bones is off helping bring more of them into the world
Kirk and Spock kill a Gorn
Bones wraps its replacement in an emergency blankie
and probably says “oochie-woochie-coochie-coo” to it because that’s how he rolls
and it bites him but that just means it loves him and thinks he’s its daddy
because baby Gorn imprint on the first thing they see like ducklings
Bones delivers all the little Gorn and gives them to their mother and closes up the incision
and she just looks at him and points to them one by one and is like “RAAAAAHGHHHRAARRRR” for each one and he has no sweet clue that she’s actually just named them all “Leonard McCoy Grrrapthak Numbers One Through Eight”.
and Bones just realizes that now there are nine lizards and he runs away
and she takes her octuplets back to the Gorn homeworld and the name of Leonard McCoy lives on through the ages
did I just reboot “Friday’s Child” with a Gorn instead of Julie Newmar
