Have Trill always been in the Federation in DS9? I always assumed most Trill were secretive about how their society works, and Sisko knows all about them because Curzon is the exact kind of person who would go "HEY WANT TO SEE A STABLE WORMHOLE??" and Goatse his symbiote pouch at someone. Keeping their society's secrets is off the table with that guy

Not really; Curzon was one of those old bastards who was wise enough to know which secrets were worth keeping, and which were stupid and should be shared freely, while having the clout to keep his higher-ups off his back.

Kenneth Marshall excelled in his role as a plucky officer who dreamt of being in charge but through circumstances could only realise that dream by forming a resistance against a coalition of aliens but who ultimately triumphs by marrying a hot chick.

Eddington literally transmitted a phony distress call and spoofed sensor readings of wounded people in order to ambush a ship, that's seriously hosed up.

No but how many races do they have in the Federation? 30-something?

You can appreciate her getting confused if this is another one of the 50 different space parasites they keep encountering every time they swing by the neutral zone, or the space aids Picard gets every time Q is around, or another egg hatching from that time Geordi tried to gently caress a tree out of frustration, or something else. I mean they've literally had transporter parasites, ship eating nanobots, and memetic parasites that only Data can kill in his sleep. And that's basically par for the loving course normal day for them.

Not to mention that today so much information is produced that modern GPs are poo poo at staying up to date or even learning stuff from 20 years ago, that's gonna be exponentially multiplied when you factor in all the races and differences. Take something like transgender care as an example and literally no GP is up to date on that even though WPATH has had good recommendations in place since the 90s. The best anyone can hope for is that their GP didn't sleep through the blitheringly misinformational 5 minutes of the 1 hour lecture on LGBT people that consists of the entire education for the 5 year degree. Trills were probably a 1 hour lecture somewhere that she was too busy partying hard or dealing with a hangover to notice, or she skipped it to memorize some foot bones or something idk.

Of course Bashir knew, but he has a Trill on board the ship as part of the main cast primary crew so it's his responsibility to know. Not to mention that he's been genetically engineered to be better at information retention, etc.

Also, Crusher did have a chronic case of "nuhbudy tuhld me nuthin" syndrome, from what I remember she was basically the last to hear about anything.

That strikes me as absurd. You've got the sum of Federation knowledge in the drat ship's computer, if the Trill had been a known species and culture for ages she should have been able to just look it up. Or have one of the other doctors on the ship do the reading.


It is seriously way easier to just treat The Host as an outlier. The makeup doesn't line up, the characterization of the slug doesn't line up (it's shown to totally take over the host body rather than being a synthesis of host and worm), the goofy "no you can't use the transporter or you'll kill me!!" thing... no, it doesn't work, and it highlights the utter folly of trying to make literally every minute of Star Trek that was ever filmed line up together.

Just treat it as the backdoor pilot to Trill in DS9; Concept was signed off on, details changed for the series proper.

Krull is like if someone took a decent swords and sandals fantasy flick with some okay monsters and then gutted the budget two weeks into filming and accidentally shredded the last twenty pages of the screenplay.

Oh and then replace Cary Elwes with some mulleted turbodork.

Nah, Bajor's opinions are legitimate concerns. They're stretched thin as-is for resources, and the proposal is only good if everything goes perfectly. Anything less and they've got another three million mouths to feed from limited food production. Nevermind the whole "We JUST got our planet back and don't want a bunch of alien strangers forcing their way in and setting up homes on our lands. Again." concern.

It really isn't as sweet a deal for Bajor as it sounds on paper.
