Does anyone know what the Dominion logo is supposed to be? Some kind of swooping from a star upwards?

http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Dominion

Quite why they would need a logo is more of a mystery, it's not like they need letterheads, but the central star is the founders. All eminates from the founders, the long line is the Jem h'adar, protecting and holding the line. The little nubbin is the Vorta, but they don't mind. The vassal states get gently caress all, they could be wiped out tomorrow if the ketracel shipment is late.

They do a couple of times actually. Klingon scientists show up once or twice on TNG, and there's a Klingon lawyer in ENT that philosophises about every job being a battle. That wasn't bad, definitely a highlight of ENT.

That was Martok, so it's a given it was great. Also, Klingon lawyers, chefs, and administrators on DS9.

Seriously. People thought Roddenberry was loving insane for having a woman as the XO in the first pilot (admittedly, he only did so, and then cast her as Nurse Chapel, because he was loving her, but still).

Edit: Put another way, it literally wasn't until something like 1996 that a majority of the population--and it was a razor-slim majority--believed interracial marriage should be legal.

Well, he was insane. And a compulsive liar. And not someone you would leave your sweetie with. Timby, you remember when Gene was busting his gut to rip the pants off his secretary in his office, and his wife, Eileen, was at the front office door, and Majel, his mistress was at the backdoor? They filthy bastard had a concealed magnetic lock installed in the outer office to grant privacy for his grubby doings, and apparently to keep Justman out.

Quick Q's on the Children of Time ep of DS9


1) So did Worf end up not killing his own descendants because they all decided they would support/complete the loop that starts the colony?

2) Wouldn't the Starfleet time cops who just visited them in Trials and Tribulations be wanting to investigate this too? And wouldn't they have tools to keep the colony from never existing? Or is that not kosher for time-stuff?

I always thought that episode would have been a much better premise for Insurrection, as opposed to a fountain of loving youth. Be interesting to see how Picard feels about descendants that are not hallucinations or clones, and Data could build an army of Lals

To Frakes' everlasting credit, he wanted to have the character Riker romanced from the agender species to be played by a man.

It's in character. Riker would gently caress a frog if he could stop it hopping long enough. Remember his ' I'm getting a chub on' expression when Data's experimenting with ruining women's lives and he says " that's what I'm hoping you find out😆"

I think DS9 also had a throwaway line about "the recent Borg threat" around the time First Contact came out. But it wasn't an actual plot point or anything.

Papa Sisko mentions 'the Borg scare' in Home front. They had to acknowledge it, I suppose, and did it with subtlety.

I'm at the Voyager section of the Fifty Year Mission and still wonder what Bujold's deal was especially when it came to the makeup & costuming people touching her. She had been in plenty of movies and had to have been touched while making those. I can't imagine an actor showing up on the set and just start acting without being readied by the crew.

All I heard, years ago, was her complaint about comic book dialogue.
