Glasgow Terror: What would Scotty do?
If you are like me, you often find that in times of trouble and uncertainty you seek guidance and comfort from sources of spiritual purity. Luckily for me, I am often able to find these souces of inspiration on Nick at Nite after I've finished watching Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.
So it is that I have reverted to form, by asking myself "in the wake of the terror attacks in Scotland, what would my hero, Cmdr. Montgomery Scott, do?"
Luckily, as I meditated upon this question, the answer came to me in a Star Trek: Original Series episode called "A Taste of Armageddon".
The relevant passage from the Book of Scotty is as follows:
And so Scotty said to McCoy: "The best diplomat that I know is a fully loaded phaser bank!" And McCoy nodded, for he knew that it was good advice, even though he was a Doctor, dammit, and not a scary smart former CIA operative.
Here's to ya, Cmdr. Scott. Set phasers on kill.
