Of all the things that are under explored about drifting in the original Pacific Rim (and EVERYTHING is under explored) the things that drives me most bananas is when Pentecost shows up as Herc's replacement jaeger pilot and Chuck is like, "this is not going to work. We are not drift compatible" and Pentecost says "don't worry about it, I'll make us drift compatible because I WILL BRING NOTHING INTO THE DRIFT NO THOUGHTS NO MEMORIES"

SIR, SIR PLEASE COME BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WILL BRING NO MEMORIES INTO THE DRIFT. HAVE YOU ACHIEVED NIRVANA? WHAT IS HAPPENING? SIR?!

#pacific rim #if i lived in the pacific rim 'verse #this would be my necromancer origin story #I'd have to resurrect him to get an answer #the implication that if your...what? enlightened enough? close enough to dying? you can drift with anyone #the first time i watched i was annoyed by this because i thought it was a cheap plot device but on re watching I've decided i don't care if #it's a cheap plot device. the implications are to wild and cool
