Another...you

[RobertScorpio]

We were watching TIMES ARROW this weekend. Its not a bad episode, though it is a bit boring in spells. I would have liked to have seen more with those aliens stealing the energy or whatever it was they were doing..

So if I got this straight? Data's head gets stranded back in the past in San Francisco until Starfleet finds it in TNG's time. And he ends up switching heads? Did I get that right? (Kirk and Spock should have found it and sold it to Harry Mudd for scap metal)

Then we have Obrien from the near future who replaces our Orbien in the episde of DS9 where he zoom forward and sees the destruction of DS9.

Are those the only two regulars who are actually not 'exactly' the same characters we met at the start of tenure on TREK? Umm..wait..Picard isn't the same Picard because of the episode where they had to reconstitute his body in that awful first season episode of TNG. Polaski was brought back to life, or cured or something like that, from the same way. So that makes Picard, Polaksi, Data and Obrien the only ones who this happened too? Or is there another?

Harry Kim and Naomi Wildman were switched from the duplicate ship in Deadlock. I'm not sure I'd count Pulaski's treatment. All they did was restore her to her original DNA. Otherwise you'd have to count the whole TNG crew when they cured the transformations in Genesis, Troi alone when they brought her back from the dead in Man of the People, Kim and Neelix when they were brought back from the dead in Emanations and Mortal Coil, etc. It just opens too many possibilities. I'm sure there are more though that weren't quite the same person at the end as the beginning.

^ Then there is Tuvix and Thomas Riker...

The list goes on....

I stand corrected..you are right..I would not list Polaski died. I didn't go back and watch that episode because its so bad. I thought she had died...I didn't know that about Naomi and Harry....

Those who are brought back from the dead I wouldn't count since they are, presumably, the same person who died....

Enterprise had a chance to do with when they could have let the Trip clone, I think it was a clone I cant remember, stay and have killed Trip (1).

I guess Data/B-9 could count. Then again, maybe not.

Every character who has ever set foot in a transporter has been killed by having their molecules torn asunder and then replaced by a duplicate who is under the delusion that they are the original, simply because they have memories that tell them so. But the memories are also a duplicate.

McCoy was right. It's a murder machine!!!

I don't think you can count Data in this list. He didn't switch heads in "Time's Arrow"; he just got back the one he lost, so now his head is 500 years older than the rest of him.

But obviously not 500 years smarter!

Wanting to see characters in two dimensions is a problem for Trek. We never really get to know the person, only the image. Wish we got to spend more time with each and saw their development and growth.

Data should have stopped when he was a head.

it's a great list.........

Then there's DS9 alternate universe Kira et cetera. I enjoyed seeing this point of continuity with TOS.

And, what happens to your eternal soul?????!!!!

Overthinking Alert:
(Aren't they at least the same molecules -- the person's -- being taken apart and put back together again and again? So maybe this technically doesn't count in at least routine transports. Of course, you may lose a few molecules over many transports, which would lead to the 23rd century saying, "He's a few molecules short of a complete transport.")
