At the end of said episode, I couldn't tell if he was supposed to be a broken man or mentally handicapped.

Star Trek, The Next Generation. Cpt. Picard is captured during an away mission (by Kardaisans?) and tortured until his release can be arranged. The captor methodically tries to convince him that there were X lights, while there were actually Y, as a means to make him question his reality.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

For those that don't know the reference in that Star Trek episode, there is a part of Orwell's "1984" where a guys is tortured until he agrees with the party.

" How many fingers am I holding up, Winston ? "

" Four. "

" And if the party says that it is not four but five - then how many ? "

" Four. "

The word ended in a gasp of pain.

Season 6 "Chain of Command". It's a two parter. That specific line is from the end of Part 2.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

WTFSCARY. I was thinking about changing my username to ThereAreFourLights over the weekend. Weeeeeeeiiiiiiirrrrd.

 

[Triumph]

Does anyone know if "Frame of Mind" is based off of a book the way "Chain of Command" is based of 1984? Similar episode, Riker is put through a series of alternate realities to make him question his own sanity.

poll added! some folks recalled the line from 1984, some from the star trek episode. which one came to your mind first? now w/poell

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Wel;l, 1984 is four fingers, Star Trek is four lights.

 

[KillyKillall]

Where is the none of the above option?

 

[Shortcut]

oh fine, i added a noneoftheabove option for readers who decided to stop in.

 

[ed21x]

i think of the song:

Captain Jean Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise!

this reminds me of a Photoshop tutorial where there were four lens flares in each corner of a square canvas, background black.
