Lt.Kyle

My wife was talking about the iceage between Jedi and Phantom menace yesterday.

She thinks it was just 16 years.

I'm sure it was nearer to 3 and a half thousand years.

When TPM came out it seemed like an eternity between films at the time. The 15 years between indy films has seem to fly by though...well once its released anyways...

There was also a Crewman Singh in "The Changeling(TOS)."

Also an Assistant Chief Engineer in TNG season 1 was Singh.

Oh...

I forgot...

The Singh surname derives from the Sanskrit simha, meaning "lion." It was originally used by Rajput Hindus and is still a common surname for many North Indian Hindus. Sikhs, as a community, have adopted the name as a suffix to their own name, so you'll find it used as a surname by many of the Sikh faith.21/01/2020

All Sikh use Singh as a surname.

A conqueror who wants peace, marries a local and converts to the local religion.

Kira Meru took Dukat to Temple.

Even if he didn't believe, his weekly donations would have been staggering.
 
The one issue with La'an is how did Spock and Uhura forget they served with a Khan family member in "Space Seed."​

Or that name is as common as Smith in the future?
Singh is already a popular name.
Google search said:
Singh is the 6th most common surname in the world, according to surname distribution data from Forebears, used by more than 36 million people
 
Singh might be a common name now but would it still be the case after the world experienced Khan? Not lots of Hitler's out their anymore. We might be thinking of this in terms of the modern day world that has yet to experience the Eugenics War.

Don't see why not. He seemed to prefer to be called "Khan". Plus he was the nice "tyrant", who people grudgingly admired. Now the guys who ran the other three quarters of the world, their names are mud.

"Hitler" was probably an easier name to let fade away than "Singh".

Yes but there weren't a lot of Hitlers in the first place, nor any that had been widely known for doing positive things. Not really comparable.
 
Not the first since Crewman Darnell in the blue Sciences shirt gets killed first in the premiere episode, but Green is second or third.
 
Was he the first "redshirt" on Star Trek?
Close.

Yes.

In broadcast order, Darnell is #1 ("The Man Trap").

Green is probably victim #3, I'd say, since when Crater finds Sturgeon's body, Nancy is shown close by with Green's body. Otherwise, Green was somehow #2 and Sturgeon was #3.

It was also an anomaly because television shows did not get made into movies back then. T.V was seen as inferior to movies and rarely did T.V actors cross over into film. Star Trek was the ultimate long shot because it only lasted three years and always had low ratings. Syndication, conventions and Star Wars helped bring it to the big screen.
