Bea suddenly asked Marcus if he was a Star Wars fan last night, before revealing her views on various subjects.
She told him that science fiction is having a negative impact on society as a whole, that "letter writing has gone down the shitter" because of the internet and that NASA faked the moon landings.
"If the astronauts had really gone to the moon they’d all be dead by now from cancer caused by the moon’s radiation. And why was there a flag flapping on the moon? America faked it to get one over Russia," she said.
She elaborated that science fiction and romantic comedies are helping to make people more isolated, thus weakening society and making people more vulnerable to control from the government.
"An old lady my mum knows died and people only found out after 16 pints of milk were sitting on her doorstep," said Bea. "Her neighbours didn’t care because they didn’t know her. They were all probably watching science fiction on the internet."
At one point in the discussion, she used her own habits as an example of the fragmenting effect the internet is apparently having on society, saying: "My friend Martin lives round the corner. Instead of going round to see him for a cup of tea or ask how he is I just do it on Facebook now."
