Why isn't Doctor Soong horribly inbred?
- Thread starter PicardSpeedo
- Start date
Same actor?
Sometimes, IRL genetics works out that a parents child looks ALOT like their parents at that age.
I bet you could get Remy Auberjonois to play Odo and look ALOT like him under the makeup.
Remy is also "Almost the same age" as his father when he first took up the role of Odo.
Remy being 49 y/o while his father being 53 y/o when he first started playing Odo.

They all have strong genes dating back to the 20th century and noted Yugoslavian raconteur Bob Wheeler.
I think you mean Dr. Brackish Okun.
The last 24 minutes around here have been very exciting!
Agree that Remy looks a lot like his dad. Has he ever expressed interest in playing Odo?
I know that Sean Pertwee, for example, has flat out said that he will never play his father's role in any DW production. I guess he's just tired of people asking him.

COMPUTER: Planned to clone perfect specimen prototype into master race. Concept considered anti-humanistic. Banned from community. Disappeared. No evidence of death. No further data.
MCCOY: There used to be a story about a modern Diogenes wandering the galaxy looking for someone special.
KIRK: Someone special. A perfect specimen, perhaps. Yes, I've heard it too.
MCCOY: It couldn't be Keniclius. He'd be over two hundred and fifty years old.
KIRK: Not if he cloned a new copy of himself every so often to carry on the search. Remember, he said he was Keniclius Five.

Now I'm picturing a Soong peeking out from within a loaf of bread. Hence, he'd be in bread.
Somebody get to work on that abomination.

Ohmigosh I’ve not laughed so hard in a long time. The OP is hysterical . “… has looked less like King Charles II of Spain and more like… old Data” And it got better from there. 
Well... because inbreeding doesn't automatically make you mad or diseased. It just increases the probability of undesirable recessive traits being expressed. And we already know that the Federation permits generic engineering in the case of otherwise severe genetic diseases.
Besides, Star Trek's already shown us that Janeway looks exactly like one of her ancestors, T'Pol looked exactly like one of her ancestors... not to mention all those aliens who share an uncanny resemblance to Jeffrey Combs and Vaughn Armstrong.

Was Flint a Lanthanite???
I've never really over thought what kind of Immortal he was, but ... damn. New thought alert. Thank you guys.

Don't forget Chris Doohan on Star Trek Continues. (Also, the Romulan Commander.)
There's a few issues with Flint being a Lanthanite:
- Spock finds them "fascinating" in SNW: "Broken Circle" but doesn't seem to even consider the possibility in TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah"
- Flint himself says he was born on Earth and had no knowledge of his immortality before receiving a mortal injury in battle
- Flint's immortality ended when he left Earth
- McCoy detects Flint as biologically human
No. Flint seems to be unique.
Maybe, since the Greek gods are real he found that invulnerability pool Achilles was dipped in.
One good thing about having an official Paramount-approved chronology for the franchise is that we know exactly how old Flint was in that episode. 6,103 years old.
Which means his youth and adolescence would have happened around the time Apollo and his brethren were interacting with the Greeks in Europe so I can buy that his virtual immortality may have had an extaterrestrial or supernatural explanation. He does tell Kirk, Spock and McCoy he was a bully as a youth and fell in battle but never died. That's all we know.
He could have been exposed to something beforehand.
