Out Of Context Star Trek Moment, Anniversary Edition
I've been an avid Star Trek fan for many decades, but even I have to admit that certain episodes could get a little silly now and then, especially when viewed out of context.
In honor of Star Trek: The Next Generation's 25th Anniversary, sit back and enjoy this totally Out Of Context Star Trek Moment.
Yep, you're seeing it right. That's Counselor Troi, transformed into a sheet cake. And a rather poorly constructed and unappetizing one at that.
I wonder how they could have achieved this seamless, startling effect?
Later in the episode Troi presents Commander Data with a cake that I assume is supposed to somewhat resemble him. Wow. Did she drop it in the corridor on the way to his quarters? I hope she's the one who baked it, because if she ordered that sad thing up from the replicator then Geordi needs to run a Level one diagnostic on it, stat.
Jesus, I think I could have baked a better cake than that sad looking thing.
In fact the more I look at it, the less it looks like Data and the more it looks like this.
Seriously, Star Trek? Those lumpy, misshapen pastry representations of Troi and Data were the best you could do? We can make cakes that look like the one above right now and we're sitting here in the primitive 21st Century. You guys are supposed to be in the 24th. What the hell?
HAHAHAHAHA!! AWesome! The Data cake did look like someone dropped it lol!
ReplyDeleteAs for that Data cake-- I'm going to assume they ran out of time and had to rush it in order to have it ready for filming. I've seen better looking cakes in grocery store bakeries!
ReplyDeleteAlso you'd think a TV show with a $2 million dollar per episode budget could have come up with a better way to make Counselor Troi look like a cake than to have her stick her head through a hole in a table while they shoved a sheet cake against her neck.
