You know what I don't get? Clothes are a human concept, right? So why is it, as soon as a lady Controllin' Worm takes a human host, she gets the urge to dress up all skanky-like? I mean, they're basically snakes, the best they can do in way of ornamentation is maybe something in a decorative bracelet-thing. They just don't seem like a species for whom clothing presents a great deal of options.

Of course, I suppose if for the first few millenium of your evolution, you were reduced to occupying the bodies of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, once you find a species with smooth skin, opposable thumbs and decorative mammaries, you might be in the mood for a little fun with the eyeliner and gold lamé miniskirts*. So, I'll let them off.

Also, they get bonus cool points for having an early Controllin' Worm voiced by James Earl Jones. That's right, Darth Vader was a Controllin' Worm, proving once again that you don't need limbs to kick ass. Rock on, little Controllin' Worm.

In other news, here is a meme I have stolen from imbeiaiel:

( Pick twenty movies you love. Pick a quote from each. Have people guess. )

*This seems equally true of the male Controllin' Worms. On Apophis it was just disturbing, but I'm in favour of it purely on the basis that Skaara rocked that whole look.
