"The Cloud Minders"

I really don't know why we the people put up with having 'our lives' railroaded by those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths or got where they are by nefarious means my Lord!

I hear you, JB. I was born with a tarnished, brass spoon in my mouth.

 

Yes, everytime she says that line about working in the mines I think, "You'll be sorry!"

 

I couldn't imagine Droxine getting dirty in the mines to be honest! she might break a finger nail or worse, smudge her eye shadow?

Plasus would probably blow a gasket if he was dumped in the mines, too.

 

Watch out for his mortae under his gown!!!
JB

 

Didn't we actually see him do that?

 

Yup. I meant if he was down in the coal mines for longer than a commercial break.

 

He'd get the equivalent of coal dust in his beard though!
JB

 

As Elvis would have said, "Plasus didn't dig the mine gig."

 

BOTH will kill!!

I tell ya, it was probably this board that spurred a recent rewatch and led me to realize how much I like The Cloud Minders. What an imaginative, well-acted, intriguing, world-building episode. Not a godlike alien or invasion of the Enterprise in sight!

 

Hey, SB! Haven't seen you in a while.

I think that too, but I also love the imaginative nature of the line. I think maybe she had in mind serving as some sort of inspirational ambassador to the miners, which could indeed work well. She might have also wanted to paint or make music about what she saw there, or serve as journalist or advocate to improve relations on Ardana.

 

Propaganda works too well on too many.

 

Thanks, Phaser Two. I've been deep in the mines digging for Zenite.

 

DIG!

 

After you, Phaser Two.

 

How Plasus achieved the position of "big boss" is pretty clear, he's a total bad ass. Took on a young man with military training and held his own.

She'd be back in the sky city before lunch.

 

Oooh I'm so scared

 

Do you mean his stutter and appearing to be a bit vague?
