there is nothing Orion about that character. She might as well be a human with a skin discoloration.

As if all Orions act the same...

 

[Angry Fanboy]

there is nothing Orion about that character. She might as well be a human with a skin discoloration.

She's still an Orion though.

 

[JRoss]

Which episodes (other than DISCO) were the Orions in after the Ferengi were introduced?

Like others have mentioned, LD. But also Enterprise and the JJ movies. Doesn't matter if it's Disco or not. Bringing in the Ferengi did not erase the Orions.

 

[Peter Quinn]

Correct.

Correct.

 

[dupersuper]

Season 2 of Picard will feature his old enemy, Sovak, who has secretly murdered the Grand Nagus

Rom?? Noooooo!!!!

Like others have mentioned, LD. But also Enterprise and the JJ movies. Doesn't matter if it's Disco or not. Bringing in the Ferengi did not erase the Orions.

Also, Quarks side trip was hardly the only mention in DS9. For people who never appeared they got a lot of significant mentions: The Ascent, A Simple Investigation, Honor Among Thieves, Prodigal Daughter...

I hope they show up and are space communists in a perfect utopian society without want or greed.

You're an expert on Orions now?

I am not an expert.

If you would like to explain how that characters actions and personality is consistent with Orion culture I would be glad to hear about it.

Orions aren't monolithic. "Thelev" doesn't act like Marta. Marta doesn't act like Devna. Devna doesn't act like Gilia.

Cultures tend to change as time goes on, especially after 9 centuries. Nothing is static, even rocks change.

Piracy is just so much fun.

So........There is no point discussing the cultural traits of any Star Trek race?

Not when you're 900 years out of date. It's like comparing modern Italy to ancient Rome.

Yeah! So basically, the Orions have turned into the Ferengi!
