A Star Trek connection? Surely you jest!

[professor ratigan]

In “7:15 am”, Snow tries to convince Grumpy that her potion is the only way to take away her pain. Grumpy is completely against this, and defends his own pain by saying that it makes him who he is.

*puts on nerd glasses*

Funnily enough, this scene and conversation sounded rather familiar to me. ❗ And then I realized it was first heard in the (admittedly terrible) film “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier”. In that scene, a (mystic? wizard?) man claiming to erase people’s pain is able to erase that of Captain Kirk’s friends, Spock and Doctor McCoy. When McCoy tries to convince him that this is the right decision, he refuses in this great speech here.

Now close your eyes and replace them with Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White and Grumpy and you’ve got yourself this episode.

I also like how he adds “..you know that pain and guilt can’t be taken away with a wave of a magic wand!”. Kirk must be a “Once” fan in the future. 😆

It was Sybock, Spock’s half-brother. 😀 I hadn’t thought of that connection before, nice
