M30USA Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) UFO reference? I need a lot of special help today...I'm not getting much on my own, lol (thanks for the rickroll explanation, TFW...I can sleep better tonight!). Yea that reference was for Tyler since he has a Star Trek avatar. There is a famous scene where Captain Picard is captured and an enemy tries to brainwash him into submission. There are 4 lights above his torture chamber and he is asked to say how many there are. They want him to say 5 (to show they have the power to make him believe what is clearly not true) but he refuses even when he gets tortured. Finally at the end, Picard is rescued and as he's getting freed, almost too weak to stand, he shouts one last time at his captor: "THERE... ARE... FOUR... LIGHTS!!!" The whole scene is clearly a reference to Orwell's 1984 with "2+2=5". Edited July 7, 2014 by M30USA 2 Link to post Share on other sites
