Who DOESN'T love Kestra Troi-Riker?!
- Thread starter starfleettanner
- Start date
I look forward to the made for tv movie 'Behind the sacred chalice'
I found some of her facial expressions a little odd, but can't quite say exactly why.
The made-up languages are just weird as well to me
She first reminded me of an Ewok... sorry!!!

I believe all this invented languajes (that Soji learnt) will turn out being handy for a coded rescue message, meaning Riker will return.
Good thought — like it!!
I liked her a lot, but I did think she was maybe all her father’s daughter. I didn’t get much Betazoid or Troi from her. Chabon said on his Instagram that Thad took more after his mother, and I guess that’s going to have to suffice.
One tiny thing I wish they did was to have Troi look up toward Picard before she saw Kestra or him come around the bush. Sure, she might have just been focused on her gardening, but I’d have liked a teeny tiny bit more Betazoid, and I always wish they’d fleshed them out more.
I did not like them killing bunnicorns. I can forgive it maybe as a “they came to the planet to ingest as much of it’s healing properties as possible” way, but, yeah, there actually is something wrong with killing animals for food when you can replicate them at will.
Even today, the case could be made that we should all be vegans or whatever: if the supermarket is full of only healthy, non-cruelly-made (or slave-wage made, or from oppressive regimes while we’re at it), clean food (with plenty of protein and whatever else you’re getting from meat) available, then you’re going to eat and be full just fine. And everyone will be healthier and no being will have to have its life cut short at all, even in “sustainable” ecosystems....that’s like saying we can kill a bunch of humans for food too, because we’re overpopulated as it is and we can take a few million citizens slaughtered like pigs a year just fine.

Did the Troi-Rikers even have a replicator? I don't remember seeing them use one. At any rate the vibe i got was that the troi-rikers wanted to live off the land as much as possible and teach their children a different way of living in the 24th century. Also the bunnicorns may have no natural predators which means hunting them as a form of population control might be necessary if they breed like real world rabbits. We see this very issue with Rabbits and Kangaroos in Australia even with their natural predators around. While I agree with you on the nature of today's meat industry, I'm personally not against subsistence hunting, which is what we we were seeing here. We're also only seeing a tiny window into the lives of the Troi-Rikers, they had quite the vegetable garden going which would suggest that they might have a mostly plant based diet.
We're omnivores, and have been for millions of years. If god didn't want us to eat meat, he wouldn't have made it so damn tasty.
Well, I mean...
KIRK: All right. It's instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands, but we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers, but we're not going to kill today.
Maybe Terri Hatcher? Not quite as old as your suggestions, but still active and playing moms these days.
When an alien captain is yelling at you on the viewscreen and has his ship open fire on yours, she can say "I'm sensing great hostility from them."
But where exactly do we draw the line between "animals" (feel free to kill and eat) and "sentient life" (not to be killed or eaten)? Does Starfleet have a directive to distinguish "lower" lifeforms from "higher" ones?
easy. if they are warp capable, do not eat them.
Probably, I mean there are no cows or rabbits in starfleet are there?
The Prime Rib Directive
Oh FFS, this is future of humanity, not some hippie vegan wet dream. Humans have been killing animals since beginning of time. That ain’t ever gonna stop, nor should it.
Nog yes...
