Transfigured Fun (audio attached)
From: Marc Thomas
Hi trekTV Friends,
Yes, having my Argentinian girlfriend back at her home along the
'conestoga' laden Oregon Trail really interferes with my trekTV work.
During the previous decade of the podcast, I existed in a state of contemplative chastity.
By the way, did you say Jarod had a Brazilian girlfriend?
And I seem to recall Tracy having an adventure in South America about 4 or 5 years ago. Where was that? I'm currently reconsuming the TTV archive but it'll be a while till I get to that one.
What? Transfigurations, right
The evolution into astral consciousness trope, a trek franchise fave from the Hate Vampire of Dove's Day to Q. This is an episode about a guy who can't wait to be the next Hate Vampire or Q. Or Oraganian, or Trelane or Melvar.
The idea of pure energy beings stems, I think, from that human propensity to imagine what eventually becomes the Ghost in Descart's machine. Thoughly unsupported by science, but that seldom molds what we think. Our minds can feel apart from the body, the body seems to drag it down. But trust me. Somewhere in the omniverse pureNRGings are imagining how cool it'd be to have mass.
Life without chemistry, just physics. Is that evolutions goal? No. Evo's a "no goal" situation, folks. Nothing to see here
Oh my
Thankyou for doing this ttv f(plural s)
Marc
