Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar (First Watch: S3E18)

He’s Dead, Jim (Death/injury count): Mira (blue shirt)…epilepsy???  I mean, she passed out after a bunch of flashing lights so.  (did she just see a dead person in a pink jumpsuit?) dead: pink jumpsuit, red jumpsuit, green jumpsuit.  1 lady, hurt/dying/speaking alien-possessed, dead now. Computer dead?  (why no backup?) scotty, electrified. 100 zetarians, mira in pressure chamber.

That’s the wiki.  No, it’s a wiki.

Scotty’s in love.

Uh, nope, he’s had lots of moments before, though maybe the use of the word ‘love’ is the difference.

“I don’t think he’s noticed she has a brain” eewwww also entirely possible based on previous evidence (though Kirk seems to think it’s partially the ability to have a convo with her as well though he would think that given his own preferences)

NOTHING IN NATURE GOES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT YESSSS

“the one day I’m not actually on the bridge and someone gets hurt.  You plan this don’t you.”

Yeah, he’s gonna check anyway.  Everyone’s gotta get checked out if they get hurt.

That was a word I was using for lack of a better one.

I had the issue where I couldn’t talk either.

What about the lady, though, was that a voluntary brain function?

Scotty,  scotty why aren’t you at your station??

I’m not gonna let you diagnose a person, not a ship.

You’re belligerent and that’s weird.

Scotty, you’re being paternalistic. Ugh.

Chapel making fun of his accent, that’s great.

Well, you might have a higher or lower psi rating than usual.

Knowledge is seen as a danger to some.  That’s dumb.

You, bones?  Find something unnerving? Nonsense

Does it interfere with electrical signals?  That would explain why it also affected the brain—

Wait, it’s that guy in the pink jumpsuit.

It was trying to trap you there

Scotty, you’re an idiot.  It’s psychics.

No, but that doesn’t mean that her brain didn’t get rewired when it hit her.  Scotty, you’re an idiot.  I’m gonna keep saying—

Scotty.  McCoy can cure a rainy day and you’re an idiot.

It’s a swarm.  Huh.

“let’s try talking” yes good.

The fireworks just want to say hi.

Now attack as a ‘talk’

Symbiosis?

She’s acting completely different…

That’s a good question there.

               You GET THINGS THAT CHANGE YOUR FINGERPRINTS:??

Ooh, brainwave pattern changes, that could change her thinking/reactions.

Okay, you holding her like that is just kinda creepy.

Thing is if her brain changed entirely, that’s not even her anymore.  In effect she had the Death of Personality.

You mean we can maybe talk to them.

That looks like normal action—oh, okay.

Not necessarily.  Possessions can be reversed.

Kirk you should be asking her the Shadow question by now.

“I will be who I choose to be” that’s a good one. 😊

Starting point + rate = line.

Honestly it should break bones.

Uh, except the fact that she’s still floating.

‘t’s better than treating her for the bends.

Like, I dunno, fully restoring the entire computer complex?

As he grins like a cat.
