Literally no different than boning a holodeck character, change my mind.

If the holodeck character was related to you maybe.

The ghost was related to her in the same way her grandma's house was.

The weirder thing is how into the diary she was, which then made the ghost sex weird by association. If she just learned it was a family sex ghost and rolled with it, totally fine.

Also I know it’s just storytelling/scriptwriting bs but it’s SO weird that the first proper beat of the episode is her SAYING THIS SHIT.

Yeah! It's like, how good of a writer was grandma? Was it really the writing or was the "ghost" leaving some kind of "psychic imprint" on the journal? It's only ever implied, and vaguely. It's such a bad episode, I can't help but love it.

What does the nobody: mean? I've always wondered.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

Its basically "nobody asked for this, but here it is"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The nobody stands for never thinking nor asking the particular thing that follows

Like, nobody else ever thought or said this, then star trek did? It's meant to point out how unusual or weird something is? Is that right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I was unclear there. I had my wording all fucked up.

There are two parts to the 'nobody' thing. The first is the word nobody and then the second is the silence after it. It's to denote that no one anywhere had ever thought or heard a particular thing. Then another group comes in as part of the meme and asks that particular question. To turn the meme into a sentence it would be:

"Not a single living soul in creation had ever expressed this idea but suddenly, one day, a group of Star Trek fans asked something fucked up for the very first time."

Whether it's fucked up or interesting or whatever is denoted by the general context or feeling that the question/idea gives. In this case it would be fucked up.

Thank you, that's very helpful indeed.

Please, I beg of you, this mustn't be real 😭

Bruh, there's a ghost in that journal and she fucks him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I thought it was a candle ghost

This episode also has the most poorly acted sneeze ever put to film.
