The whole issue of changeling assimilation came up in one of the DS9 relaunch novels, naturally. I believe it was in the last book of the "Mission Gamma" quartet, which focused on the Defiant's adventures surveying the Gamma Quadrant (the Dominion said it was OK). The final book had the crew stumble across a crashed…

It's probably something like The Ring, but I like to imagine that it's one of Tubby Thackeray's forgotten silent-era slapstick comedies.

Who says this site isn't educational?

THAT'S OKAY, JERKHEADFACE, I WASN'T PLANNING ON SLEEPING TONIGHT ANYWAY.

I think we're all overlooking the crucial question here: why is the molesting tree so angry? Is it because it has the soul of a molester but knows in its heart that, as it is made of bark, it will never experience the pleasure of molesting that a fleshy molester takes for granted?

Okay, just buzzed by Memory Alpha, and I think I have a possible explanation. (MILD SPOILER FOR A TRIVIAL DETAIL, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO AHEAD AND READ.)

Sigh…right you are, Ken.

I liked Raines. Goldblum was excellent as a cop slowing going bugfuck crazy, and it was nice to see Linda Park get some work after crawling out of the smouldering wreckage of Enterprise.

It was sucked into a paracosm created by a serial killer under the erroneous belief that it was his birth mother.

It'd be way more progressive if he had one gay dad and one straight dad.

It's clearly "Don't Trust The Badalamenti In Apartment 23". All those years being in close proximity to David Lynch have finally driven him mad.

Even if you got hit with an R rating, I'm still glad you made it. It's about time people heard Frank Booth's side of the story.
