Four Lights

“It’s a scientific study showing that the number of lights exists on a spectrum, and you can’t assign a strict integer to it.”

I’ve worked on a number of sketches and cartoon scripts, but not all of them got made. There is one in particular I really wanted to see finished, but unfortunately just isn’t going to happen. So, as a special for my subscribers, I’m going to share the script.

It’s a parody of the famous Four Lights episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. You can see one of the relevant scenes right here if you’re unfamiliar:

Anyway, the concept for the sketch is what if the Cardassians used more modern techniques to get someone to confess things counter to reality. I did my best to translate the script format into something that will work on Substack.

Enjoy!
