Filip & I were watching the bonus features on the DvD I rented of Star Trek episodes. On the behind-the-scenes episode, they happened to describe how they did the special effects on a particular episode that I skipped. We didn't watch that episode, because there was a scary part I didn't want Fil to see.
The scene they were discussing happened to be the part I didn't want Fil to see. It involved a human being taken over by a giant parasite. Then, the 'queen' is exposed in the man's chest.
The bonus episode was showing what they did to make it look like the actor had a huge parasite inside him. After that, they showed the actual scene. It was pretty fake looking, and cheesy.
Of course, it had much more of an impression on my 3-year-old.
I look down at Filip, and his eyes are wide-open, glued to the screen, with his jaw dropped.
Great.
Anyway, I smoothed it over, explaining that the man wasn't real, that slimy creature was fake, and no one really got hurt. He seemed ok, until his ran into the other room to tell his Daddy what he saw on Star Trek.
Whenever Fil's excited about something, he just says a bunch of phrases that relate to what he's thinking about. Then, it's our job to put all those thoughts into a sentence for him.
"Disgusting, the man, Star Trek, on inside, in the man, and I can't like that."
Somehow, I think he's going to have bad dreams tonight.

What about the episode where Picard is taken hostage by the Kardassians & made to eat these nasty wormy things raw out of an egg. Then offer Fil a soft boiled egg. Maybe that will help him get over the parasite episode.
Hahaha! I'm SO going to do that.
