Haha, oh yeah. That thing that looks like one of those competitive tag arenas.

Well American Gladiator was pretty popular at the time, that may have had some influence

I haven’t seen any Star Trek, use me while you still can!
Stamets@startrek.website 1 year ago
Alright! Watch this starting from 44 seconds in. Watch for like 10-15 seconds and then try to explain what you think is going on.
@mosiacmango@lemm.ee has a point. It would be really interesting to see the reaction to this…

Having never watched star trek:
Jokey answer: recess but they have access to deadly weaponry and only the strongest will make it to maths class.
Serious answer: I presume this is some kind of proof-by-combat scenario? A local culture demands the protagonists fight one of their own in some cactus-pugilism jungle-gym arena in order to prove their worth, and only then will they grant them whatever boon they asked of these people?

I’ve seen that episode, but it’s been decades so I still don’t know what’s going on.

Looks like a mom trying to chase their kid around the house to beat them
CareHare@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Ok I followed your instructions to a T. It looks to be like a combination of Ru Paul’s Drag Race (and I mean this in the best way possible) and a professional game of parkour chase tag.
Was I close? I’d love to know what’s actually happening!

Underground cactus tag arena. The gamblers are watching in excitement.

Interpretive pole dancing to the death? Now I’m starting to see the appeal of Star Trek

I’ve only seen DS9, Voyager, and Lower Decks, do I count?
RiikkaTheIcePrincess@kbin.social 1 year ago
snrk Hey, me too! gigglesnickers
Though, I've only missed... Uhhhh... Okay I've only seen TNG, Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise. And Online. And a season of Discovery. ... Which I kinda regret.

Vulcans are immune to the brown note.

It looks like a device that causes instant orgasms
Stamets@startrek.website 1 year ago
C…can I have one?
PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The movie Orgazmo documents the use of the device at least. You’ll need to find Choda Boy to make it, tho.

I can hear that screenshot

If you pester me in DMs I’m happy to do this as a Stargate guy
RiikkaTheIcePrincess@kbin.social 1 year ago
Well, come on then! What's the story in the screenshot :P My very shallow awareness of TOS suggests it may well be #1, but could also be #3, which is hilarious to think of but less funny if that's actually what's going on 😅
demlet@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I vaguely remember that they were being held captive and the devices would punish them for misbehaving. Like, some guy lived with a bunch of female robot slaves or something and the episode ended with him having to live with a robot version of his deceased henpecking wife? Shit I don’t know, it’s been like 30 years since I watched the original series…

Everyone is having fun playing air guitar, though bad they may be at it. Except the beige dude who forgot his air guitar at home.

I’ve never watched Star Trek. Quick, give me another!

Image too blurry, but looks like they are babysitting and the baby somehow got out of the crib and the guy in red got kicked in the nuts by the baby while trying to pu baby back in the crib, the guy in blue is tried to get the baby back in the crib but got kicked in the chest, the guy standing up actually gets the baby back in the crib but not before the baby bites the guy on his hand then the baby laughs maniacally, so now he’s just standing there contemplating his decision to promise babysitting, while the guy in yellow is celebrating that he didn’t have to deal with that crazy baby because he’s a coward that stood back and watched the other 3 guys deal with the baby.

Do it. Name It something like WhatTheTrek.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s genuinely brilliant naming
