It's a Small World After All: Difference between revisions

* Inverted in ''[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]]''. Mongo was a big, extremely multivaried place. Then again -- atagain—at least in the early days of the comic and most TV & film adaptations -- theadaptations—the main characters are stranded on Mongo and ''can't'' visit other planets, so it makes sense for Mongo itself to be portrayed as a richly diverse world.

** In ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'', when Kirk ''just happens'' to run into {{spoiler|Spock Prime}} while marooned on Delta Vega. The latter was sent to a location where they could observe a certain unexpected astronomical event, while the former was, presumably, dropped within walking distance (or maybe [[Death World|getting eaten distance]]) of a Starfleet base, with no reason whatsoever for the two locations to be anywhere near each other -- apartother—apart from the [[Theory of Narrative Causality]], of course. Lampshaded in the novel adaptation.
