She's falling for "the techniques" 😆

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth

Nooooo! Please don't! You need to tie me up first! #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

They ship the gruel AFTER they cook it? That’s just… that’s just silly. My suspension of disbelief is shattered. #monsterdon

Gross, that wine is not wine colored. #monsterdon

BLINK BLONGG

(whimsy intensifies)

#Monsterdon

14 women, 41(?) children in 5 years, that's what about 3 kids each? In 5 years? Tight but doable I guess. Though someone is going to be changing a lot of nappies.

#Monsterdon

"But Mistress, the males in my country are trained from a young age in certain skills - a certain dink-jitsu"

@moira innit? #MOnsterdon

“Well sometimes one wife would help another wife. In my society we call it “hand stuff.”” #monsterdon

#monsterdon Come on tubi. The ads are getting longer.

Mmm, gruel wagons.

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Damn it she has ham! Ham is my kryptonite. #monsterdon

CHEERLEADER! SO AND SO! WHAT'S HER FACE! THE UGLY ONE!

#Monsterdon

"female psychology"

fuck you, gene

#monsterdon

"Yes, he is a handsome devil, isn't he?"

(He's not handsome in the least)

#Monsterdon

"Yes, he is a handsome devil." Spoken with the sincerity of a used car salesman.

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

#monsterdon Welp, the #SuddenStringSection is here.

"What? You mean a dink swap?"

#Monsterdon

My new catchphrase

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou Yes, but then it would be NC-17 or something

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR DINKS #Monsterdon

"This Dink may just have a surprise for her"

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

#monsterdon

An anti-dink-idote for my a dink-a-doodle-doo.

Fear Fascination Syndrome was my Nirvana cover band in the 90s

#monsterdon
#PlanetEarth

#monsterdon "This Dink has a surprise for her!"

gene was fucked up lol

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Now's a good time to remind everyone that Roddenberry also wanted to make Harry Mudd series.

Really.

Yeah.

#monsterdon #planetearth

Fear Fascination Syndrome?!?!?!

#monsterdon

Those drugs they cooked up in the 60s...

#Monsterdon

She was in the middle of taking advantage of him

#Monsterdon

I'm really not sure this counts as consensual on either side #monsterdon

Yep. That's Roddenberry alright.

We have literally had zero setup on how these two are apparently suddenly in love. They just... are... Probably because his shirt got ripped.

#Monsterdon

EYES DOWN!

#monsterdon

"I'm not drugged, I just like it here"

#Monsterdon

That's such a Star Trek kiss...

#Monsterdon

okay but does this movie at least pass some sort of like... inverse bechdel test?

#Monsterdon

you just take whatever a dink offers you huh

#monsterdon

chores make it bingo #Monsterdon

They take great pride in their work, their responsibilities.

I'm literally not seeing one single individual sign of anyone actually feeling anything remotely resembling pride in this scene.

#Monsterdon

@ottaross Technically yeah, maybe so, but it just feels wrong

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Does that dinkjuice cause uncontrollable squinting, or is that just the director's notes for all the drugged male actors? #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

What are "intelligent features"? You know what, I already know and I don't like it. #monsterdon

Anyone else think Gene Roddenberry had a sissyfication and/or domination fetish? o_O #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

"The human male is an unstable creature"
#monsterdon

Ya know, if you were looking at films from Hong Kong in this era, the fighting was... much better.
#monsterdon

this is some bad fight. Including Kirk and the Gorn
#monsterdon
#planetearth1974

Windmill strikes are not only a genuine attack but also a great way to lose

#Monsterdon

Ok, who forgot to pay the combat choreographer again?

#Monsterdon

Sweep the leg!

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth

In a society with weird rules and bizarre cultures, it is important for each person to announce the rule loudly as they are invoking it.
#monsterdon

catfight!
#monsterdon

I mean their hair is barely ruffled, how is this a fight?

#Monsterdon

DINK: “Is this Dink Extract organic and gluten free? Can I get mine with soy milk? Thanks”

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Wait, wait... I've had trouble paying attention because, well, this movie, but... is her name Barg ???

EDIT: Apparently it's "Marg" which... isn't a whole lot better...

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon👨‍🚀 💤 ⏰ 🗓️ 👯‍♀️ 👭 🤼‍♀️ ✊ 💪 😱

I feel that the costume designer for this movie should not have any second chances

Is “spirit” code for penis?

#Monsterdon

yeah marg.....

I hope they have the Star Trek fighting music

#Monsterdon

New fast acting dink juice, guaranteed to give dinks a bad trip. #monsterdon

"...don't hurt me, I'm tripping balls"

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth

Look just take your Robitussin like a big boy. #monsterdon

Cool knife

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

"UGH, it's BUBBLEGUM FLAVOR D:" #monsterdon

Are you certain you saw him eat the gruel?

.

I can't be tricked.

She literally didn't even actually look... Just saw the bowl and assumed since it was lower he ate...

I don't know anyone who is easier to trick...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

My wife is laughing uncontrollably.

Wasn't there a saltpeter subplot in the Planet of the Apes tv show too?

#monsterdon

So is the Aesop of this that Dominant women make the men sterile?

Oh boy Gene, oh boy....

#Monsterdon

'dink extract'

#Monsterdon

I was pretty bored for a while, enough to check off a Bingo, but now I just find this to be awful.

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

>> "Gender stereotype, gender stereotype, gender stereotype"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon There will be a gay bar called "Breeder/Field Dink" and it'll just be pretty mucle twunks in hot-pants.

Oh thank god, Klingons. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Just give me a map dammit! I'll smack you up! JUST A MAP! Where's Duran Duran!?!

I get the sense that the exit strategy for this team was "eh, whatev" and that's turned out about as well as you'd expect. #monsterdon

Imagine a gender-swapped version of this

It'd be like Every Stereotype: The Movie

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

This is reminding me of that worldbuilding post about matriarchal societies. Instead of reversing gender roles, you can have the society devalue things that are traditionally considered men's work, and value things that are traditionally considered women's work.

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Please God, make John Saxon ask for more, please.

#Monsterdon

Wait… feeding men makes them docile?

… huh. Not that farfetched really.

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Twelve Angry Dinks

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

“Conduct yourself properly and I’ll leave your hands free tonight” that’s what SHE said! No literally she said that it’s like every line is a double entendre. #monsterdon

Robert Heinlein had a story that involved something similar. "Citizens" were all armed, and could challenge each other to duels.

#monsterdon

That doesn't look like hummus to me, spit it out Dylan!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon We’ll have him tested, his electronic clap card makes boop boop sounds, he’s free of the clap! NOT A KOALA!

#monsterdon

Ah, the old made for television pauses.. with swelling music and fade-outs..

3 dinks and a twink.

#Monsterdon

Wait, what the... Did it just do a commercial break? T-they know this is a movie, right?

(I guess it was a "made for TV" movie then? But was it? I don't even know anymore...)

#Monsterdon

aw, no commercials?

i mean, I could really use a break right about now

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

@davesdogmaggie Women be shopping… amirite dinks?!

#monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

[harp music plays in distance]

#monsterdon

"Don't eat the food!"

So we're in England then?

#Monsterdon

"they made me watch several B-Movies...."

#monsterdon

🎶Just the two of us… you and I

#Monsterdon

I feel like "dosing the prisoners' food" is something that is maybe happening right now in our timeline..

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth

“Whoever you were, you are a Dink now”

#Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974 #Dink

he was a shrinky-dink
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon DINK... Double-Income-No-Kids! They're all queer! YAY!

For being a dink in a tight jumpsuit I'm not seeing much dinkage. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oooh! The authors thinly veiled fetish... gelding... Oh, Hi Gene... noticed ya there…

Diana Muldaur and John Saxon both had good screen presence and could be good in things

shame they're in this

#monsterdon
