      I the Star Trek The Next Generation episode “Darmok and Jalad” we encounter the Tamarians, and they speak in metaphors.

      This is one metaphor that appears a couple times in the episode.

        Misunderstanding a cultural reference that refers to a culture that speaks only in cultural references that cause misunderstandings is delightful either way.

      The T-1000 in panel 3 can assume anyone’s form but does not gain their memories so Arnold asks it a question that the real mom would know about star trek 🤡
