Inspirational credit to OpenStars@piefed.social for their Blazin' Bev snail reference, which reminded me of that weird meme from the bad place about an immortal snail whose touch meant instant death.
ST: First Contact
what makes you think that snail wasn't onboard?
I feel that with transporters, the whole thing falls apart.
"...so of the snail touches you then you die instantly. Any questions?
Obrien: Can we put the snail in pattern buffers?
"No"
"Then follow-up question: what do I do with the snails that I already put in the pattern buffer?"
M-M-M-Moopsy?
Oh dear. Once you pop... you cannot stop!
"Snail to Enterprise. One to beam up."
If you subscribe to the idea that the transporter is a murder machine that kills the entity being transported only to reassemble a new one at the other end, would that mean that all you'd be doing is making more copies of the snail?
Brilliant idea!
"Ooops"
Is that Chuck McGill?
It is the same actor (Michael McKean) yes,. although the above image is from The Good Place, the bestest-er-est show ever.
Oh I'll be damned, now I want to watch it
He's also the fear clown in Voyager
It has it all.
Hot guys / moral philosophy professors
Hot girls / tasty treats
And despite all that, it managed to be a good show! 🤪
There's also the death slugs in The Expanse
Wait, I thought it was just one snail assassin. It's two?
You can't know which is the decoy snail
Transporter clone. Thank O'Brien for that one. (Really, it's just that it better fits the direct quote from Picard.)
Oh, got it. I thought the snail meme had mutated.
Snails have bones, right?
Asking for a Moopsy…
