      Garak getting flashbacks about Empok Nor:

        Always loved that easy way to identify DS9/Terok Nor and Empok Nor

          If not for “Dutch angles,” how else would you know that you’re in a villainous lair?

            That slight tilt does seem to throw things out of balance …

              Well played.

              Side note: Rodney Dangerfield in Natural Born Killers as the abusive parent/husband still sends chills down my spine.

                Loved Dangerfield … in my mind’s eye, his character is like a marker in time for me now … are we dating ourselves?

                  Well, now that you mention it…

                  FFS, if not for this community, I don’t know what I’d do.

          Fun fact: there is no “up” in space.

          Fun fact 2: Trek writers consistently fail to understand this basic concept.

            That’s the joke.

            And I think science fiction generally does it that way for the viewers’ sake.

    It took me almost a full minute to get this…

    I feel so dumb now!

      Would it have been better to use “hollow sweets” in the title instead? It took me almost a full minute to decide between the two.

        Definitely stick with the title you have IMO

        Naw, no need to change. Though it’s fun to think about it now retrospectively!:-)

        Like what if you had split the difference and used “Hollowsweets” (all one word) - hehe:-).

      For me, it’s like unlocking a Zelda puzzle. I even have a little fan fare okay in my head when I get it.

      We’ve collectively planted the seed. It’ll happen, rest assured.
