Could you give an interpretation of the cartoon? Somehow the text, “I can see forever”, just doesn’t make sense to me, and I can’t help feeling that I’m missing out on something here.
or, as the Shat might say, “for the world is hollow and I have touched the sky!”
Exactly. Bonus points for catching the reference. Why in god’s name they made more than one kind of Star Trek when the original said everything there was to say is beyond me.
Best I can come up with other than that is a vague memory of some dystopian Sci Fi…maybe Harlan Ellison? Or wasn’t it one of those really ambitious Star Treks, like Bridge Across Forever? It sure has resonance, anyway.
Or the other option with this cartoon – he’s just obsessed with his mom’s breasts.
I forgot about “The City on the Edge of Forever.” The first time I saw that was in third grade and, even then, the ending punched me in the gut.
Jeez, I just put this thread in a downturn . . .
Not at all. Harlan Ellison wrote that episode, as well as a couple of others. It’s quite likely he started it; that is very much his kind of thing.
Bet they cut out the part where Jeffy’s dealing drugs . . . .
I heard he killed his parole officer.
Sounds like a 2001 reference – but I though Dave said “Oh my god, it’s full of stars.”
Its a reference to HP Lovecrafts idea of ancient terror beasts – they were said to contain the stars at certain points in time and came to earth before man roamed the planet.

It’s a full-blown meme.
