I clicked on reply and it still quoted you. Makes no sense.

Ok. If you want to reply and NOT QUOTE just scroll down to the bottom and use the text box. Pretty simple.

I'm suspecting that Kore inherited this disease from her mother.

Quite likely, ironic Unnatural Selection.

Or maybe the mother took Extreme Risks while swimming, and Adam is hiding a Dark Page in his life!

 

[Mr Awe]

It wasn't a Star Trek spin off. It was supposed to be a stand alone show but was retroed into a Trek episode afterwards.

Not exactly "retroed in." It was meant as a backdoor pilot to a new series. Obviously, that series never happened.

 

[Mr Awe]

It seems to me that some basic research would have been welcome but well...

it's just a show.

 

[Photoman15]

I'm suspecting that Kore inherited this disease from her mother.

I doubt it. If she can't handle sunlight or water, or almost everything else, I doubt the mother could have handled Adam's baby juice without developing black veins and dying.

 

[Mr Awe]

When I was younger, I had the time to stick with shows I didn't really like in the beginning. I don't have that luxury anymore.

I respect this attitude. It's not exactly your cup of tea, so you're moving on. And wishing that others enjoy it. Very sensible.

See you in the SNW forum. I agree, it looks like a fantastic show!

So, what's up with neither Q nor The Watcher being a fan of Guinan?

She is the kind of person who is always "in the toilet" when it is her round at the bar

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I thought this Q line was most interesting: "Seems I have, uh, taken time for granted of late, and now she's threatening to abandon me" -- does this reference the trouble Q is in? his lack of powers?

Maybe Agnes uses BQ "species 149" powers to resurrect Elnor? (There's a scene in previews where Elnor returns to La Sirena wielding a sword, with Raffi and Seven in the background).

The doctor definitely returns in a future episode, as there is a scene in a preview where she kisses Rios on La Sirena. There's also a future scene where Picard is down on the ground, so maybe the doctor helps Picard somehow? There is also a future scene with Tallinn in the mariposa clinic, white creepy eyes, wearing the headgear device.

So far, the only time we've really seen Q have a lack of powers is with Renee, and for all we know, Tallinn is protecting her from such interference despite not knowing what a Q was.

Also, I don't think Kore was genetically "made". When she asks about her mother, Adam looks pained, like he's either a widower or had a painful divorce.

Besides, if Adam had created Kore out of a petri dish...she wouldn't have this genetic malady, would she? If Adam had been smart enough to make a daughter from the ground up, surely he'd have done it right.

He looked to me like he was dodging the subject. Her mother was maybe a GM human, non existent or this being Star Trek she was also a Soong and the disease is due to inbreeding because hey everyone is a Soong played by Spinner these days ( or an O'Sarek )

The original Gary 7 show had no relation to Star Trek. What I meant was Star Trek was retroed into the pilot.

I guess I juist don't get why everybody keeps thinking that the Soongs are all genetically created beings.

I mean, Noonien had a wife (Juliana) and son (Alton) just like anyone else, why can't the rest of them do the same?

 

[SolarisOne]

I guess I juist don't get why everybody keeps thinking that the Soongs are all genetically created beings.

Because they look exactly the same?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Because they look exactly the same?

So did Kathryn Janeway and Shannon O'Donnell.

 

[fireproof78]

Because they look exactly the same?

So does Worf and his grandfather.

 

[SolarisOne]

So does Worf and his grandfather.

That's one trope I've always disliked. I know the practical reasons for it, but....

 

[cooleddie74]

If Dominic Keating had gotten a role in Trek 2009 then Malcolm Reed would have played Kelvin Timeline Kirk's uncle.

 

[Deks]

So did Kathryn Janeway and Shannon O'Donnell.

Yeah, but in the case of Shannon O'Donnell and Janeway looking identical, they're 376 (ish) years apart.
Thus far we've seen 3 organic Soong's who looked identical. In 2024, in 2154 (ish), 2360-ies (Dr. Noonien Soong who died in TNG) and his brother in 2399.

In Janeway's case, sure, that's doable... in Soongs? Its a little too repetitive.

Really?

In Janeway's case, sure, that's doable... in Soongs? Its a little too repetitive.

Nah, it just shows that Brent is just as capable as Kate at playing multiple generations. Perhaps even more so.

Edit: Forgot about the multiple Worfs. That too!

He said in a recent episode of the Shuttlepod One podcast with Connor Trinneer that he was up for the role of Kirk's uncle.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Time for another stupid question:

How can Insp. LeClerc survive without a spleen?
