The “blackout” between her arrest in Akron and the drone’s arrival at the “Institute.” No one on our end noticed because a) the blackouts were expected to not interfere (much) with the operation and because b) The only thing Nick could see was the view from the drone. It was only when she started acting like she’d taken off the hat when she clearly hadn’t that Nick started to smell a rat.
When I was in V.R.
And riding in the robot drone,
Thought I caused disaster (coming faster!)
The fault, it was mine alone!
There were caution signs …
Yellow caution signs!
Self-loathing is my weakness, and it’s working!
Hear my howls and whines!
(I’m naughty, swat my bottie!)
[CHORUS:]
I’m so bad!
I’m a naughty doggie, I’m so bad!
I was built by someone who’s Mad!
Shame on me! I’m so bad!
I thought I caused Armageddeon,
I burned up all the puppies and my date, see?
The Captain’s harsh words I’m dreadin’ …
He tells me ev’ryone will hate me!
Pavane says, “It’s you!
In your mind, only you!”
So afraid! The role that I’ve played here
Makes me feel like poo!
(The ground my head’ll pound!) [repeat CHORUS]
I was kinda hoping the lava would spell out “U=WTL” but this will do just fine- as soon as we find out how bees “jack in”! Lister gets Bedford Falls, Sweetie gets a self-caused E.L.E.- no accounting for taste, I guess…
I don’t see it. The only similarities between their speech is Pavanne’s use of “Sister”, the rest is all too devoid of jive to be even close to anything Jones would say.
The younger generation always sounds more hip than their parents. Mme. Gavotte certainly sounds, er, less hip than Mlle. Pavane. I don’t know who her father is, but…well, never mind, the idea boggles the mind…
I just learned the truth about this tease:
“The end of the planet’s not happening,
It’s VR, a drone hat, volcano and bees.”
All this time I’m barking up these phony trees.
But then I know now it’s something that’s not happening,
With VR and drone hats and bees.
I’m puttin’ on the drone hat,
Watchin’ the eruption,
Listenin’ to bees.
I’m sufferin’ self-loathing,
Poundin’ on the rock cliff,
Feeling the unease.
We’re goin’ on, my dear,
We breathe an atmosphere
Which took my breath away.
But you know, it’s all a show.
The world won’t end today.
So I’m not there,
Takin’ off the drone hat,
Forgettin’ the eruption,
Listenin’ to bees.
But when did they make the switch?

As we saw in Come Swing From My Branches, Gestalt entities reproduce asexually, even if their component beings reproduce sexually.
Don’t want to sound humorless, but if you think of it Gestalt beings reproducing sexually …. just wouldn’t make any dang sense whatsoever.
Metaphor’s metaphor but … no, that just doesn’t make sense.
Time for you to come out of the simulation, Sweetheart. Show us who wears the hat in your family.

I can see the cast of Skin Horse doing a choreographed dance number to this. 🙂
I can see Tip making the choreography, and then leading the dance in a white dress with sparkles
Now I really want to see a picture of the bees wearing a control hat.
Okay, how did the bees get into Sweeties self-created Armageddon?
Sometimes, changing your perspective is nowhere near as easy as others make it out to be.
I was gonna say. Getting out of here is exactly as easy as changing your point of view.
And, if you think that’s easy…
