Fan reactions to Starfleet Academy's female Jem'Hadar/Klingon hybrid character

[Captain Graham]

First of all, welcome to the board, @Captain Graham!

As for your post: What’s the reason why any of that couldn’t have changed in the 800 odd years since we last saw a Jem’Hadar?

The founders only offered concessions to "the solids" because they were beaten during the Dominion war. It would be believable that they would splice a klingon/Jem hadar hybrid if the Dominion had become allies with the Federation and Klingon empire since that time.

But they were generally not a people that liked to change the status quo at all and would not hesitate to genocide entire worlds if they provoked their wrath for thousands of years even before DS9.

Odo did promise reforms, and indeed in Picard S3 we learn that Vadic and her followers left the Dominion in protest of those reforms. Therefore, it's not impossible that in 800 years those reforms have made it so the Jem'Hadar can reproduce naturally, or that the Jem'Hadar might get frisky with another species.

I think you’re underestimating just how much 800 years is and how much can change in that time. Just look at our own real world history and compare the circumstances of 2025 to those in the year 1225. I honestly don’t see any reason why in 8 centuries the Jem'Hadar couldn’t have been changed so that they live longer lives and reproduce naturally. How boring Trek would be if we were to assume everything would always stay the same.
