whoa! that's funny -- once I turned into a ferris wheel! I thought that was just a me thing, but circus tent sounds poetically close to my experience.
That same time though, my partner had a maybe too-intense time, meeting wise aliens and disappointedly coming back to this stupid life.
Did he also happen to forget his pen?
I feel like I'm missing a reference to something....
But here's one for ya: he came back suddenly knowing how to play the flute.
It's a reference to Tool's "Rosetta Stoned". Its protagonist tells a wild story how on a drug trip he met some wise aliens who shared some very important message with him. But sadly he forgot his pen, so he couldn't write it down, and forgot all. Consequently, like your partner, he came back pretty pissed off (or soiled, you might say).
But hey, getting secret alien knowledge on how to play the flute is still a positive, so good for your guy.
lol, nice. I'll have to listen to that song.. I got into their earlier stuff when it came out.
The flute was a reference to a ST:TNG episode, "Inner Light." Kind of a classic.. I won't spoil it in case you watch it!
Interesting. I will check it out. ST: TNG is the only Star Trek I've enjoyed, and I have watched only a few full episodes, like a century ago, so I was gearing for a rewatch anyway.
Awesome!! Let me know what you think!
Well, that was a good watch, and I definitely hadn't watched this exact one! Thanks, internet stranger, you might have just rekindled my love of TNG. Now, on to some other episodes, this time in order.
Wow, you got right on that, hahaha. Nice. :) I think I've seen most of the TNG episodes, TNG is my fave of the ST series, and that might be my most memorable episode because it's so unlike the others, and just a darn good story. Enjoy the rest!
Whoa, I just listened to the Tool song and it is a trip... thanks for that.
It's a great episode and late in the show - I'd suggest don't skip to it. IIRC it's an episode that will hit harder if you have seen everything that led up to that point. (Which will make sense when you see it.)
