Eh, it's a bad cliche of one anyway. As someone who went through the real thing in the USMC, it's usually eye rolling inducing from Hollywood productions and this one was no exception. The only one that was accurate was Full Metal Jacket and that's because R. Lee Ermey was an actual USMC DI.
I found the character rather... bad, but nothing to do with the actress. The concept isn't inconceivable that the genetic engineering could be undone, but extremely unlikely and hard to see why the Founders would ever justify the effort. Even if Odo did to the Dominion what DS9 said Spock did to the Mirror Empire (and just as likely the "drop became the ocean." The idea of Jem'Haddar 'lineage' is foreign to anything in DS9, so would all have been designed in the intervening centuries. Possibly they had the original source race hidden somewhere and it wasn't the Tosk like was commonly speculated.I wouldn't go that far.
I enjoyed her performance, but Ars Technica did write an article that discusses her character without bringing any of that stuff up.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy tries something different, and I don’t hate it
An interesting new take on Trek includes some characters you already know.arstechnica.com
From the article above:
Is that why we’ve seen Klingon hybrids so frequently? B'Elanna Torres, Miral Paris, K'Ehleyr, Alexander Rozhenko, Ba'el, Brota.
It's extremely strange to me as well and seems more willing to take statements by characters absolute gospel truth then utilize imagination.
Well... Given one's a Klingon and one's a Jem'Hadar they almost surely met while trying to either kill each other or someone else...I’m not sure what you’re arguing, to be honest. The point was that procreation with other species was somehow a very un-Klingon thing. I submit that the evidence suggest otherwise.
As for how Lura Thok came to be: I guess we’ll have to wait and see what she’ll reveal about that, but for right now I prefer to think that a Klingon lady named Asmaret met a handsome Jem’Hadar, they loved each other very much and then a few months later Lura Thok was born.

Klingons being super long-lived & Jem'Hadar super short cancel each other out to "perfectly human-like" ageAnd because her parents were a Klingon and a Jem'Hadar, we also find out that Thok is currently only twelve years old.
Again?
