Deadlock (VOY S02E21) was a great episode. It and "Timeless" seem to be an acknowledgement that whenever there's a high-risk situation, it's only because it's a work of fiction that they always win the day, and in a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure version of the show there'd be a lot of "bad endings". Harry Kim's stunt in Sick Bay was movie-caliber. Around the middle, I expected that one of the two ships would be destroyed, rather than a parallel universe separation, but I didn't expect it'd be the undamaged ship via self-destruct after being boarded and taken over by Vidiians.

Two minutes is a lot of time, and I imagine they'd gotten used to it at that point. And when you really need to hug your family, it's as urgent as putting yourself out if you're on fire. I shook the Prime Minister's hand once when I was 13 and then shouted at him to free the refugees. He was a short weirdo. It may have been contagious.

I hate VOY a lot, but the Vidiians were a legit cool and creepy Trek villain, up there with TNG season 2/3 Borg, imho. I know they are kind of a B story in that episode, but just mentioning the Vidiians ratchets up the tension because of their backstory.

Like everything else in Voyager, the Vidiians are a really great idea executed terribly and then promptly forgotten.

Instead they seemed to have a lot of gimmick episodes like the one just mentioned, then the one where they steal Neelix’s lungs, or the one where they somehow split B’Elanna into a human and a Klingon (as two different people?)

Vidiians were always the B-story and never the A-story. They decided it'd be better to focus on "why can't gangs learn to read" villains who never posed a threat because their technology was too primitive and their culture too divided against one another, from the imagination of 1990s hand-wringing. Medical exploitation for experimental purposes, meanwhile, is still relevant today as it is being done today in immigration camps edit: That was a little too negative, and there was no need to re-tread criticisms that had already been made. I think I only typed it because I'm waiting on something, and I should've used that time on something else galenanorth fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Apr 12, 2019 |

How did Gul Dukat accidentally knock up a bajoran woman when it was clearly established that interspecies hybrids had to be made with a science?

Because cardassians are just an ethnic minority of bajorans, discriminated against because of their necks.

I guess not all of them need to be? Or because Bajorans and Cardassians are space-neighbors, maybe their genetic makeup is somehow close enough to be compatible. Who the hell knows, it's an allegory for comfort women in Japanese-occupied China.

Are you referring to Worf and Jadzia? Because I think that just establishes that some pairings need extra help. Pretty sure humans and Klingons are able to bang it out without a problem, what with K'heylar (gently caress i know i'm loving up the spelling) and B'elanna. Humans and Romulans (and probably Vulcans too) probably don't need help either, what with Sela. Did T'Pol have any kids in the alternate future timeline in that one episode of Enterprise?

In Enterprise, T'Pol thought a human/vulcan was impossible before the space racist terrorists made one for reasons I can't remember. So must have required at least a little medical help.

Scifi can never quite make up its mind if aliens are just a stand-in for different human cultures or not, but generally the answer is "yes". Humans from all over the earth can obviously "interbreed" so aliens in a scifi setting where aliens just represent "foreign people" can too. Except when the episode says they can't, without science, except for the other times when they don't. Also all aliens are equal because all human races are equal, except some alien races are just genetically predisposed towards aggression or intelligence, just like humans! Wait...

Eh, we have no idea if K'Ehleyr or Torres needed help to be conceived. Alexander and Miral didn't, but their parents were half-klingon plus klingon or half-human plus human respectively.

So must have required at least a little medical help. If I remember they basically did it as an obvious Nazi "they're going to ruin our genetic purity" thing. The point was the clone wasn't really viable and eventually died but it turns out it's because the Space Nazi Terrorists are completely garbage at science just like the real nazis, not any genetic incompatibilities between the species.

The_Doctor posted:All the offspring on the Children of Time planet make me assume that they don't need help. Definitely a 'some do, some don't' situation. Worf's descendants were with a human member of the crew, if I recall correctly, rather than Jadzia, so presumably they didn't need help, and Jadzia probably banged a human as well (simply going by odds on a relatively small ship and the sheer number of humans in Starfleet here), which also presumably didn't need help... ...wait, is it humans that are universally bangable without additional work? While there are a few other species that can get it on without much trouble (Bajorans and Cardassians, clearly, not sure about Klingons and Romulans, but that one secret prison camp/colony obviously had the resources if they needed it), but humans are just...easy...that way? I blame the ghost of Roddenberry.

There's a whole TNG episode about how the galaxy was seed with the DNA of an ancient humanoid race so that creatures would evolve along the same humanoid lines, so of course they're all able to gently caress and reproduce.

Drone posted:I guess not all of them need to be? Personally I think the cultural/family building metaphor is stronger if the alien species can't casually hybridize. It speaks more deeply of culture and society being a strong link rather than fantasies about blood. Spock is Sarek and Amanda's son because he was raised by them. (As is this Michael person I guess)

Nessus posted:I imagine human/Vulcan is harder if for no other reason than Vulcans have copper-based blood. Like, that happens on Earth with mollusks. I assume Spock is "half human" in the sense that they probably spliced the equivalent of some of Amanda's genome into him. Maybe Vulcan genes just express their phenotype much more strongly over the human genes, leading to a genetic hybrid that is nevertheless a biologically Vulcan entity in most practical respects. After all, Simon Tarses had a Romulan grandfather yet still looked about as Vulcan as Spock.

We don't know if Betazoids and humans need help. Uh, I think Dianna's mother also got accidentally impregnated. This poo poo happens a lot in Star Trek actually, Worf's descendants on the time planet are implied to be half klingons even though they would need a science to do that and they don't know how no more...
