Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for September 22, 2020

The Gorn seems a lot friendlier now, though.

Fun works. Now try it on a Klingon.

I thought it was set on STUNT.

He’s causing no harm, what more can “Stun” do?

That’s what happened to the California senator – Diane Funstun.

Now set it to pun!

He’s a red shirt, so his mistake won’t be long-lived. Of course, his mistake may be WHY it won’t be long-lived, but it’s inevitable.

And don’t spell it backwards.

Do it to two more and you can have a tricorder circus.

Don’t listen to him, Rizzo. The production values on this setting are way better.

Shouldn’t this be read like this: No…. Rizzo! Set your phaser… to.. STUN!

The Star Trek approach to handling a boggart.

I thought it was set phaser to stunning!

I wish they would do a movie or series about the Gorn , I always wondered what is their backstory

All right, Ratso.

The Gorn do not like to be toyed with.

The stun weapon is a terrible plot device. In practice, if there were trouble, you’d just call for backup, stun everybody and let the backup sort it out.

I hear Rizzo’s a rat.
