Negative Space Wedgie: Difference between revisions

The outer space equivalent of the [[Monster of the Week]], except it isn't necessarily a creature—itcreature — it can be the nebula that conveniently zaps your stardrive, or the planet with the radiation that makes you age too fast, or, well, any of a hundred similar things from ''[[Star Trek]]''. It's [[Unknown Phenomenon|unexpected, unexplainable]], and puts the cast in an artificially-heightened state of crisis for 25 to 45 minutes plus commercials—untilcommercials — until they find or invent the [[Reverse Polarity|necessary cure, solution, fix or repellent spray]].

Except for the superficial details, one Negative Space Wedgie is very much like another—itanother — it's just J. Random Threat, the third this month. It's a bit absurd to call them "an anomaly" (the usual term used on ''[[Star Trek]]'') when they happen on a very regular basis.
