Brian Brophy didn’t return?

O Brophy, Where Art Thou?

IIIIIIIIIIIIII aaaa-am a cyberneticist of constant sorrow!
I've seen trouble all my stardates,
I bid farewell to ol' Daystrom Institute,
The place where I was born and raised.
(The place where Maddox was born and raised)


For six long years I've been in trouble,
No pleasures here on Freecloud I found.
For in this world I'm bound to ramble (and who wouldn't with all that irritating, intrusive holographic advertising and the poisoned tranya).
I have no friends to help me now.
(Bruce has no friends to help him now)


It's fare thee well, my duplicitous lover who is strangely tagging along on this trip but nobody seems to suspect at all for some weird reason.
I never expected again to see Aggie's chocolate chips.
For I'm bound to ride on La Sirena,
Perhaps I'll die upon this cargo ship.
(Perhaps Maddox'll die upon this cargo ship)


The Tal Shiar can bury me in some deep valley,
For many years where I may lay.
Then you may learn how a pair of impossibly sophisticated twin androids could possibly be made from a single positronic neuron,
While I am sleeping in my grave.
(While Bruce is sleeping in his grave)

Build us a synth, you're Brian Brophy
Build us androids tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for controversy
And you've got us worried alright
 
You have to learn to pace yourself
BROPHY
You're just like everybody else
BROPHY

You've only had to run so far, Freecloud
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Is loaded Tranya in your face
And you'll have to deal with
BROPHY!

You used to call me paranoid
BROPHY
But even you're not an android
BROPHY

You turned the cube dance into your crusade

Now here you are with your synths
And your Jurati advice
You have many scars on your face
And you cannot handle
BROPHY!

Twins grown up and no place to go
Dahj 1, Soji 2
What do you know?
All your life is Borg Artifact 13
Fenris Rangers
What does it mean?

(I'll tel you what it means)
BROPHY!

Don't ask for help, you're all alone
BROPHY
You'll have to answer to your own
BROPHY

I'm sure you have some ex-Borg rationale

But here you are with Seven of Nine
Two drones out and three drones on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
BROPHY!

All your life is Federation Magazine
I read it too
What does it mean?
 
When I look out into your eyes out there
When I look out into your faces
You know what I see?
I see a little bit of Brophy
In each and every one of you out there
Lemme tell ya
Well

Brophy is everywhere
Brophy is everything
Brophy is everybody
Brophy is still the king
Man o man
What I want you to see
Is that the big B's
Inside of you and me

Brophy is everywhere, man!
He's in everything
He's in everybody
Brophy is in your jeans
He's in your cheesburgers
Brophy is in Nutty Buddies!
Brophy is in your mom!
He's in everybody
He's in the young, the old
the fat, the skinny
the white, the black
the brown and the blue
people got Brophy in 'em too

Brophy is in everybody out there
Everybody's got Brophy in them!
Everybody except one person that is
Yeah, one person!
The evil opposite of Brophy
The Anti-Brophy
Anti-Brophy got no Brophy in 'em,
lemme tell ya
John Ales has no Brophy in him

And Brophy is in Manu Intiraymi
but he's trying to get out, man!
He's trying to get out!
Listen up Manu Baby!

Brophy is everywhere
Brophy is everything
Brophy is everybody
Brophy is still the king
Man o man
What I want you to see
Is that the big B's
Inside of you and me

Man, there's a lot of unexplained phenomenon
out there in the world.
Lot of things people say
What the heck's going on?
Let me tell ya!

Who built the pyramids?
BROPHY!
Who built Stonehenge?
BROPHY!
Yeah, man you see guys
walking down the street
pushing shopping carts
and you think they're talking to Allah
they're talking to themself
Man, no they're talking to BROPHY!
BROPHY! BROPHY!

You know what's going on in that Bermuda Triangle?
Down in the Bermuda Traingle
Brophy needs boats
Brophy needs boats
Brophy Brophy Brophy
Brophy Brophy Brophy
Brophy needs boats
Aahh! The Sailing Brophy!
Captain Brophy!
Commodore Brophy it is

Yeah man, you know people from outer space
people from outer space they come up to me
They don't look like like Doctor Spock
They don't look like Klingons
all that Star Trek jive
They look like Brophy
BROPHY!
Everybody in outer space looks like Brophy
Cause Brophy is a perfect being
We are all moving in perfect peace and harmony towards Brophyness
Soon all will become Brophy
Everything everywhere will be Brophy
Why do you think they call it evolution anyway?
It's really Brophylution!
Brophylution!

Brophy is everywhere
Brophy is everything
Brophy is everybody
Brophy is still the king
Man o man
What I want you to see
Is that the big B's
Inside of you and me

Brophy!
 
This line will only make sense to fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Frakes: Remember, the first and only reality of show business. There can only be the best! And you are no longer Bruce Maddox. You have been... replaced!!!

Brian Brophy charges Frakes with his lightsaber and they duel.
 
I’m just imagining this poor bastard, going through his normal life. Having a good job at Cal Tech. Maybe a fond memory of an episode of TV he did 30 years ago...

Then the entire world goes batshit!

:lol:

Wakes up one morning with his Twitter blowing up, people he doesn’t know emailing him at work...
 
You can recast Batman or Spider-Man. You can even recast Kirk and Spock. But Brophy's turn as Maddox was a defining moment in television history.

I humbly suggest we marshal our resources as fans and begin a letter writing campaign. Let's tell CBS what we want: "Stardust City Rag" re-shot and re-aired with all new Brophy footage. Otherwise, PIC needs to be de-canonized.

Oh, and we should also ask CBS to Frenchify Picard's chateau by...10% or so.
