Fwoosh boom pew pew! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2LbEQbnFNM&t=220s When I was 15 that opening was the coolest poo poo ever. Although even then I was slightly philosophically disturbed by the temporal copy idea.

I imagine the problem with holodeck Inception is that you have to have the power from somewhere, and the antimatter and dilithium and poo poo probably have to be real. Like at some point something has to be putting energy into the system.

Nothus Infelix posted:I remember it. There are a couple references in Google Books. Here's one from Sexual Generations: Star Trek The Next Generation and Gender. It's quoting Jeff Greenwald's book Future Perfect: How Star Trek Conquered Planet Earth, but the Google Books preview of Sexual Generations had a fuller quote. The full quote is a lot worse: quote:"Look," he says, "I’m very adventurous, experimental person striving to live out whatever fantasies I might have. I’m not into bondage and S/M. I’m not into voyeurism in the traditional sense of the word. I am something of an amateur gynecologist. I’ve been known to utilize a speculum now and again. The female body, as a functional instrument, obsesses me. If I were on the Enterprise´s holodeck…" He grins. "My greatest fantasy is to be with that fifty-foot woman from those 1950s sci-fi films. That would be the ultimate: To actually crawl up into a vagina."  and I thought Roddenberry was the creepy one

McSpanky posted:"Amateur gynecologist" is a phrase that will haunt my nightmares. The phrase doesn't actually bother me. It sounds like something that a guy who's overconfident about his sexual prowess might say to mean "Hell yeah I looooooooooove pussy." No, the terror part is that he takes it seriously enough to... use a speculum. The closest male equivalent that I could imagine would be an amateur 1800s STD doctor. "Now let's put some linseed oil up your urethra!"

That was the vibe I got from it too. It's the kind of euphemism a sleazy gently caress at a singles bar would say. It's still creepy but for wholly different reasons.

I'm not usually in a hurry to defend Brannon but, keep in mind you're talking about a second hand account that was written in something called "Sexual Generations" that is available (presumably) only on Google Books. That sounds about as reliable as fanfiction. Sorry to crap on your fun though.

Even then maybe not though. Referring to a woman's body as a "functional instrument" is something that even Data's programming would tell him is creepy as poo poo. Without shuddering, try to take a second look at the sentence, "The female body, as a functional instrument, obsesses me."

Nothus Infelix posted:You can order Sexual Generations from the University of Illinois Press here. I'm not sure how reliable Greenwald's account is, but it has the ring of truth. Don't Braga's episodes have a lot of body horror and transformation and stuff like that? That all seems connected to the idea of the human body as an "instrument." His credits list on Memory Alpha might as well read body horror and transformation (everything to do with it).

Sexual Generations isn't the source, it's quoting Jeff Greenwald's book Future Perfect: How Star Trek Conquered Planet Earth. I haven't read the book but supposedly it's from a conversation Greenwald had with Braga at a party at his house.
