#Treknobabble! Drink!! #AllStarTrek #DS9 #PastTense

A tumblr post. The first portion says "Star trek actors are so strong for doing technobabble with a straight face. If you asked me to talk about the technicron particles are mainlining the quantum blorbonator I would fall apart immediately." Then follows a section of the book The 50 year Mission: The Next 25 years. The section is by Andre Bormanis, the science consultant on DS9. "An important lesson on technobabble came to me courtesy of Terry Farrell. I was at my first Deep Space 9 wrap party at the end of the second season, and it's the first time I've ever been to a wrap party so it was like a pretty big deal to me. I'm walking around and talking to the people I know. And I see Terry Farrell standing off by herself. I'd never actually met her so I sheepishly go up and introduce myself to her. I said "Ms Farrell, I'm Andre Bormanis." "Oh nice to meet you. What do you do on the show?" I'm like "I'm the science consultant. I'm the guy who puts all that technobabble into your dialogue." And she literally grabbed me by the lapels and lifted me off my feet. She's six feet tall. She's a very tall, striking woman. She's like "You fucking asshole!" and she starts shaking me and I'm like "I'm sorry! It's my job!"

I wouldn't mess with Terry. Would you? ~Capt. SP
