I beg to differ. Cool guys do this to explosions.
I have a rolling tray with this screenshot printed on it. Makes me smile every time I see it.
Okay I absolutely need one like that, how do I make it so?
There are several Etsy shops that print custom rolling trays, you provide them with the image. I got mine from this one 3 or 4 years ago.
There is a simple explanation reconciling the two thoughts: Picard is absolutely beyond cool.
I really really love this scene. On the one hand, Lorca is just doing the typical bad ass thing as you rightly point out. But on the other hand? Dude can’t look at bright light.
So in my head it’s just Lorca going “Okay, now I gotta turn and walk away because otherwise I’m gonna bend over and scream in agony. I look cool right? I think I look cool. OH GOD ITS SO BRIGHT EVEN THOUGH ITS BEHIND ME. FUCK. FOCUS ON BURNHAM FOCUS ON BURNHAM FOCUS ON BURNHAM. Alright, now nod like a badass. Alright. Cool. I did it. Where’s my ready room as I can no longer fucking see?”
Django disagreesI don’t understand this logic, why explode things if you can’t watch them explode? What’s the point?
so others can watch you walking away from it, looking totally badass
It explains a lot about his character, I think. Not being able to watch things blow up. That’s gotta take a toll on a person. /s
When you just worked hard on that explosion, it’s perfectly acceptable to sit back and admire your handiwork.
Uh… I hear.
Inside you are two wolves. One wants to watch the explosion, the other is going to get popcorn
And sorry about the transporter accident…
He had to. He was from the mirror universe, where bright things hurt their eyes.
Gotta go prep the next explosion. These things don’t just happen on their own.
Explosions are too damn bright anyways.
