Samaritan Snare
From: Marc Thomas
Hi Trek TV Friends,
Weed News now. While my living situation makes smoking weed problematic, I live in the of the four American states where it’s recently become legal, so I bought an eighth at the dope shop...Just because I could. It seemed sorta futuristic, that’s all. New Wave sci fi from the 60’s and 70’s as well as 80’s cyberpunk often postulated a tomorrowland where forbidden narcotics become the banal province of well taxed retail.
I believe there was scene in ST IV “...Voyage Home” where Spock is surprised to find himself busted on Haight Street after scoring a dime bag.
Here's what this has to do with Samaritan Snare. Those Pakleds are clearly stoned.
I meant to get this to you before you did Samaritan Snare, but I see now that I missed the tweet where you ask for emails pertinent to the episode you are about to record.
Oh well.
Marc
