There are sequels to this video now! Not one, not two, but three!

Also, if I was locked in a room and interrogated by normal speed Jonathan Frakes, I would tell him whatever he wanted to know.

So, you admit there are three lights sequels?

I don't know why, but that line "beyond belief!" is my favorite call-out on the ST:TNG pinball table. It's just so.. encouraging.

But will I sound sober at double speed?

Jonathan Frakes already has an answer to that question.

I didn't think this meme had anything more to give. I was wrong.

Okay, but surely you can see that there's a major difference between slowing down a video and posting it to social media claiming that it reflects reality, and slowing down a video and posting it to social media while saying, "hey, look, I slowed down this video and the end result made me laugh a whole lot"?

Come on, man.
