And now I have a famous Star Trek episode duking it out with Hocus Pocus in my head. Thank you for the lovely word Amok (or as SJP's Sanderson Sister said "amuck amuck amuck...")

I have been meaning to tell you I love the words in general, and like seeing what comes from them!

Sounds like a crossover! 🤣

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the comm.

It's odd that for some reason I never associated "Amok Time" with amok. It makes the title of the ep funnier somehow. I guess because I find the term 'running amok' amusing. Or maybe I'm just weird. ;)

Amok: (Torchwood)

"With aliens running amok through Cardiff, it was going to be another long night for Torchwood."

Supine: (Moonlight, using the alternate meaning of the word)

"While other vampires only cared about themselves, Mick was unable to remain supine in the face of threats to vulnerable humans under his watch."
