Outpost22 posted:Can Cardassians and humans even have a baby? I think Cardassians and Bajorans can, but I've never heard of any other combinations. The Federation president in Disco was some combination of Cardassian, Bajoran and human. That plus that one progenitor race jizzing in everyone's genepools probably make it likely. Edit: Plus that one Cardassian scientist who has the hots for O'Brien implies that it's possible. Eighties ZomCom fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Jul 4, 2023 |

I only recently watched that episode having missed it on TV years ago. That bit was great, and could be read to imply that in the federation there are no people not in their right gender because it's no more serious than getting a mole removed.

To be mildly fair, outside of general plot contrivance he's a reasonable choice; He's well off the Syndicate's radar as an Officer on a remote outpost, and has actual ground combat and hand-to-hand fighting experience from the Cardassian war as well as a wealth of knowledge for engineering and adapting on the fly. He's about as close to James Bond as they're gonna get.

They xXx"d O"Brien in as someone more average-joe. But yes, it's damning of Starfleet Intelligence that they have no good covert agents.

That whole episode just felt like a weird fit for Star Trek, like one of the writers saw Donnie Brasco and said "let's do that as a Star Trek episode!". (Donnie Brasco came out around that same time, right?)

The original version had Molly being raised in a different culture that found her and being unable to adapt, so they sent her home. When they changed it to being feral relatively late in the process they never addressed how hosed up that made the ending decision.

lol it was originally written as a TNG ep to kill of alexanderquote:The basic premise of this episode was originally conceived by Joe Menosky for Star Trek: The Next Generation as a way to write Alexander Rozhenko out of the series (as René Echevarria explains it, Menosky came up with the story "as a way to get rid of Alexander, who he really disliked!"). In the original story, Worf and Alexander are on a hunting trip, and Worf loses sight of his son for moment, at which time Alexander falls into a time portal and is retrieved fifteen years later as an embittered Klingon warrior who hates his father for having abandoned him. The episode was never green-lit because Michael Piller was not keen on killing off the character (again, as Echevarria explains, "Alexander was Michael Piller's mother's favorite character!"). (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (pp. 577-579)) However, the idea of an older Alexander from the future did form the basis of the episode "Firstborn". (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (2nd ed., p. 292))

Ehhh the resolution of getting Molly back was kind of ok, but if they had had any sense they'd have kept older molly and had it over 3 episodes, with her being a future recurring character

Non Compos Mentis posted:I like Dr M'Benga and i hope he does not die Unless they pull a "Kirk's brother" sort of thing, he's still alive in TOS, albeit no longer Chief Medical Officer. Curious to see if he steps down for personal reasons or does something unhinged that results in demotion (seeing his emergency combat stims in the first episode of S2 has kind of made me hope for the latter, Mad Scientist M'Benga would be fun).

After 3 seasons of SNW M'Benga will get censured for the weird daughter thing, the distribution of incredibly illegal combat stimulants, and five years of medical war crimes. This is only slightly worse than average for a Starfleet doctor, so he just loses about 10 years of seniority or so.

My kid and I have been enjoying all the Spot action in S7 TNG. The episode where one part of a planet wants to join the Federation, but both societies are assholes was good. I like how Riker just laid it all out no you won’t be joining the federation and there was no reconciliation with the planet’s 2 societies at the end. Lots of data episodes. Also up until the S7 episode we watched it was established Data was fully functional but the mom episode also said he’s anatomically correct. Data has balls.

Ezri Dax was great and Nicole de Boer did great with what she was given. Unfortunately, she was given a behind-the-scenes mess to clean up and a show entering let's-wrap-this-up! hyperdrive.
