JULIET: But old folks, many feign as they were dead;

Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.

— Romeo and Juliet, II, v

I had an idea today for movie that is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (which is a play made into a movie that was a behind-the-scences- of #Shakespeare's Hamlet) meets #StarTrek all focused on the #StarTrekTNG episode, "A Matter of Perspective." Like the #StarTrekVoyager episode, "Retrospect," this TNG episode is problematic because the resolution is that a women is shown to have lied about being violated. With that in mind, both Voyager and TNG did prove a woman should be believed with the episodes "Violations" and "Remember." Trek is not completely evil. Remember the #StarTrekEnterprise episode, "Observer Effect"? We see the Organians can watch us to judge our stage of development. Well my movie idea is simple, Organians are present during the interactions of the characters of "A Matter of Perspective" and we learn despite there being four different stories about what happened, they were in fact, all full of shit, and only the Organians really know what happened. With the help of the Organians, we finally learn what happened in "A Matter of Perspective."
