Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"

[frenchfryqueen69]

I'm rewatching The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes instead of studying (as you do) and I'm at the part where Lucky Flickerman is getting the Academy Students to sit down before the games start. He tells them, "smile, it's why we have teeth."

And this strikes me because it's ridiculous and so fittingly Captial. I feel like it really hammers home the difference between the Capital and the Districts, especially in this moment.

The tributes are in the arena, about to start fighting for their lives and to them? Their teeth are weapons. It makes me think of Enobaria, didn't she rip someone's throat out with her teeth?

In the Districts, their teeth are for survival too. More basic things like eating, but when we know food is so scarce in the Districts, it becomes that much more important.

But in the Capital? Yeah, teeth are for smiling and looking pretty. There's poorer people in the Capital that are struggling to survive and going hungry still. Coriolanus is a good example of that. But even then he's working so hard to keep up appearances.

The Capital of all places is ironically the place where you functionally need teeth the least, but because of everyone wanting to keep up appearances and putting their best smile forward their teeth mean everything to them and their images. Only the Capital citizens are given this luxury.

I can't remember if it's in the books, but it's such a killer line to sneak in.

good morning guys. the horrors persist, the cold insists and so do we

If anyone remembers the old story about how male prisoners were found to be calmed when their cells were painted pink; (oft cited to prove that the color pink has a calming effect on men) apparently this research was replicated with other paint colors and it was found that any color of paint has the same effect, including painting the walls the same color that they were before. As it turns out, you have to clean in order to paint, and people are happier when their environment has been recently cleaned. The obvious takeway is that correlation does not equal causation, but the even MORE obvious takeaway is the many times proved but seldom acknowledged law that one should never attempt to extrapolate general principles out of studies done in a prison
