Spoilers Anthony from Much Ado About Boimler

I always took it as an accelerated adaptation to whatever environment he was in at Warp 10.

ugh, this would make threshold even worse. There is no adaptation without reproduction in evolution and even that is a random consequence only!

If they weren't able to execute it wherever Anthony was stationed, couldn't he be transported to a facility that could do it?

That's exactly what we were watching them do in the episode. He's not actively dieing so there's no need for the nearest Starbase to handle it.

In this recent episode, we meet Anthony, a warp 10 salamander travelling on the D-14 transport to The Farm.

But what is his story? How did he evolve into a salamander? Did he somehow travel at warp 10? Did he evolve via some other method? Why didn't the method used to return Captain Janeway and Tom Paris back to regular humans work on him?

Or another theory I heard recently, maybe he actually is a Janeway-Paris love child retrieved by a Starfleet ship that somehow made it to the Delta Quadrant and back to the Alpha Quadrant since Voyager returned home. Or maybe he's the offspring of one of the Janeway-Paris offspring.

So what are the thoughts of everyone else here? Who is Anthony and what is his story?

Obviously he's the son of Katherine Janeway and Tom Paris. What you didn't see after the episode "Threshold" was that they both felt guilty about leaving the kids so they went back to pick them up and kept them in a terrarium for the rest of the trip back to Earth.

Of course once they got back they realized they couldn't admit what happened and thus they they couldn't keep them (Plus Janeway and Paris were never properly married and Tom Paris was already legally married to Torres), soooo...

There's no couple of days evolution into a space salamander either. So if it's okay to happen in the first place (and Trek characters transform all the time), I don't see why the reverse can't be true.

We really need to invent time travel to erase this episode from history.
