#waiting for the q episode where he just puts an unstoppable loop of this on their viewscreen for 10 hours and then leaves

[steakout-05]

ok so i was in the shower one time and my brain trailed off and i just started imagining what if the Enterprise got a distress signal that has been sent from the 21st century and when they look at it it's just stupid ancient meme shitpostery. like they think they've come across a really weird time-travelling anomaly and they put it on main viewer and they just get colossally rickrolled from 300 years in the past. it hasn't left my head for the past few days so now you must witness my vision

Data: Captain, it appears we are somehow receiving an unusual distress signal originating from the ancient year of 2024.

*Picard and Riker exchange looks*

Riker: 2024..? That's impossible.

Picard: Hm... Unusual indeed. Put it on main viewer.

Data: Aye sir.

and then the viewscreen activates and it's just this

#this post is so stupid #the thought of rickrolls still being a thing in the 24th century is extremely amusing to me #star trek tng #star trek #the next generation #star trek the next generation #captain picard #star trek shitposting #shitpost #high effort shitpost #totally not me putting like 3 hours of editing into a tumblr shitpost teehee #holyshit wait imagine deanna troi being able to sense shitpostery from another vessel #''captain i sense intense rickrolling from the other ship'' #BAHAHAHA that would be SO dumb #also sorry if the video is really loud i'm wearing headphones and i genuinely cannot tell what volume is considered normal #also also fun fact: i originally imagined this with the loss lines and data explaining that it's a symbol of ancient human shitpost culture #but that wasn't as funny as a rickroll just popping up on the viewscreen and immediately annoying picard #do you think q does this to the enterprise sometimes #waiting for the q episode where he just puts an unstoppable loop of this on their viewscreen for 10 hours and then leaves #rick astley #rickroll
