Pop Culture References in my latest Chapter of OIM · 10:54pm May 30th, 2023
I didn't bury the most recent chapter in television and movie references, but threw a few in there as part of a demonstration of how bizarre things are when you are locked in Discord's sights. References within the story are listed below, mostly offered because the references may not be recognized by younger readers. Please read the chapter first
Discord mentions NLP, which stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming is related to hypnosis.
Ericksonian hypnosis relates to the work and teachings of Milton Erickson, most famous for the handshake induction.
The bizarre details of the initial trial room are all taken from the Jon Delancy character Q's first appearance in Star Trek TNG Encounter at Farpoint.
The interplay of "I want the truth," "You can't handle the Truth" and "You're damned right I did" are all the major beats of a famous courtroom scene in the movie A Few Good M3n
Thanks! Missed Milton Erickson and Q, caught the others. Their use in the Discord Dimension was very appropriate.
