There are rumors going around that Orci is quietly battling alcoholism.
I don´t belive it.

First I've heard of it. In fact, posts such as this are the places where baseless rumors start or are unfairly propagated.

There are rumors going around that Quark is a cross-dresser, that Spot is transgender, and that Deep Space Nine only exists in the deranged mind of a Negro mental patient named Benny.

I don't believe it.

Quark is a cross-dresser:

Spot: Patently false.
Benny: Debatable.

I don't believe it.

Spot: Patently false.

Well, I wouldn't say patently false, as in being false "in a clear and unambiguous manner."

From http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Spot#Background:

Spot first appeared in "Data's Day" as a male, long-haired Somali cat. In subsequent appearances, Spot was seen as a more common American short-hair orange tabby, but still as a male. It was only in the seventh season episode "Force of Nature" that Spot was first referred to as she. In "Genesis", she even gave birth. The Star Trek Encyclopedia jokingly suggests that Spot may be a shapeshifter or the victim of a transporter malfunction.

Yea, that type of orange cat doesn't come in female, the female version is Calico.

Do I really have to point out the obvious?

Spot wore no clothes. Geez.

You can argue exhibitionist or transgender if you want, but rumors suggesting the cat was a cross dresser are patently false.

She wore a coat that can only be worn by males. Hence, crossdresser.

Wasn't 'City On The Edge Of Forever' rewritten like several times ?

I'm not worried....

Nope....

I like the way the novels explained Spot's gender. Data didn't know how to determine the gender of a cat, so he checked with Geordi who also didn't know but rather than admit it took a guess that the cat was male and so that's what Data believed. It was Worf who realized the cat was actually female when he had to look after her in the episode Phantasms.

I'm sure Simon Pegg would be adept at writing a good role for a cat.

So I've been wondering, not much has been established about Spot canonically speaking. We know cats have nine lives, and therefore she could have been alive in the 23rd century. And since Abrams and his cohorts are saying they'd like to provide various links to the other Trek series, this could be a perfect link to TNG. Have a scene where Kirk and Spock enter an alien night club in search of something to do. While they're looking around, they pass by Spot. You know what would make this scene even better? Have Spot licking a Borg implant. The potential is awe-inspiringly awesome.

I'm so proud of my thread derail.

Not a word was said here though until now about ST3, just a deafening silence!

It's an old Trek BBS joke dating back to the pre-Trek XI days. Here are some key threads:
