Funny thought about V'ger

[Anticitizen]

At the end of TMP, our heroes celebrate what they feel is the birth of a new lifeform, that has reached a new level of consciousness as a result of bonding with Decker.

A darkly humorous alternate interpretation: V'ger, desperately seeking meaning in its existence, bonds with its 'creator'. It discovers that our lives are as meaningless as its own, and self-destructs in a suicidal flash of existentialism.

Alternately, I suppose it could've become a Q/Prophet/Organian-like creature.

....ok. Suicide, meaningless life, 2-dimensional thinking. Not my idea of 'funny'.

I can get a chuckle out of it, if only because those existentially bleak sentiments have crossed my mind, oh, a couple dozen billion times.

Or should it be ? I guess I'll leave it at .

I did say darkly humorous.

On a related note: If Spock found out that was what had happened, do you think he would've dived headfirst back into Kolinahr?

"Screw this human crap..."

Thing is, though, Decker and Ilia had some seeeeeerious fucking to do before Vejur would even think of pulling the plug. (Strips clubs and call girls keep me, Gregory House and the late, lamented God Thing going, after all, and I've yet to meet a Deltan stripper, or even an Orion one.) "Simple feeling" indeed.

The problem is the new V'ger Decker creation (V-Decker?) is going to want to do all the "human things" now. So we're going to have to have a big destructive cloud hovering over 7-11 and Hooters.

I suppose it is a good thing Decker didn't join with Uhura, because then you'd have to call the new life form Black & Decker (yes, the spirit of ShatnerPunisms lives deep within me, at all times trying to break out into the real world and lay waste to humor taste-meters.)

EDIT ADDON: This is offered in the spirit of the old Jerry Finnerman 'she's black' story about lighting Nichelle, not in the vein of a racist tract (who knows what runs in their veins anyhow.)
