Mental Picture Projector: Difference between revisions

m
Line 40:
* ''[[Quatermass and The Pit]]'' (TV and film versions) has a thought-visualising machine called an "optic encephalograph" that shows racial memories of Martian genocide.
* ''[[The Prisoner]]'' episode "A, B and C" involves a machine that can read Number 6's dreams and memories, but by the end of the story he is controlling the images.
* Done many times on ''[[Doctor Who]]'', most famously in the [[Narm|Narmful]]ful "no, not the [[Mind Probe]]!" moment in "The Five Doctors".
** Other notable examples include the first Doctor being interrogated, but because he's being flippant, the screen shows only random objects, and the second Doctor's trial in "The War Games", wherein he mounts his defense by using thought projection to show images of the great enemies he has fought, including the Cybermen, the Daleks, and... The Quarks. Since the Quarks were a one-off and markedly crap villain -- andvillain—and not even the proper enemies in that episode anyway (they were just service robots working for the Dominators), it has become something of a running joke in the [[Expanded Universe]] that the second Doctor has a weird and inexplicable Quark obsession.
** Another example occurs when the Second Doctor creates a mental projector with the scanner to explain to Zoey how traveling in the Tardis can be dangerous by showing her clips from "Evil of the Daleks".
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' "Out Of Mind" A machine is used to project holograms of SG-1's [[Clip Show]] memories. Like anything that shows up on Stargate, it makes reappearances in several subsequent episodes.
