    When you read an old thread thinking of a response then realize you were the first response three years ago.

    Probably not.

    Very likely.

    I'm sure the Talarians would let her visit Jono, but the fact is, he doesn't want to leave. Why should she get him back if he doesn't WANT to be gotten back?

    By giving Jono some exposure to Federation culture and respecting his wishes to be returned, Jono may decide to return voluntarily to the people who respected his choice. He maybe more likely to adopt Enlightenment values than if the Federation had taken him back by force.

    I always wanted to see another Trek episode about the Talarians after this.

    The whole thread is more than a little dramatic, hyperbolic, and ridiculous. I am constantly amazed at how seriously some people take Star Trek. You'd think I would simply expect it by now but it never fails to surprise me.

    Every time I see this truncated topic title on the Forums page, I get the impression that it says "My Bigotry Toward the Xenomorph"

    And that would be a way better topic for discussion. No insult to this topic...but admittedly, there would be very few topics that could compete with bigotry and systemic racism directed at Xenomorphs.

    Carry on with your day.
