Even if it is a misreading of the TOS episode that still implies Medusans can't communicate except through other means like a physical body or environmental suit that can translate their thought patterns into audible language. I can see some developing psychic powers to overcome that.
 
If Medusans wanted to win a battle or a fight, all they needed to do is expose themselves to the adversaries. No one could even aim at them with a weapon without becoming mad. It's hard to hit a target if you don't look at it.

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, and the presence of Lurians and Caitians just implies that by the 2380s either some other Alpha Quadrant races had managed to reach the Delta Quadrant or they'd been abducted from the Alpha and relocated to the Delta.

A solid 9.

We don't know how long the CareTaker or Suspiria were kidnapping Alpha/Beta Quadrant folks, so there can be any number of Alpha/Beta Quadrant native species missing and located in the Delta Quadrant.

All thanks to those two Nacene.

I’m betting this area of the galaxy borders on the Delta/Beta Quadrants to explain why we’re seeing so many familiar species. What other explanation could make sense?

Caretaker? Borg? Old colony ships that were established pre-Federation? How many "old Earth colonies" did the Enterprise stumble upon through different series, including in TNG were they "hadn't made contact in 60 years" sometimes.

Also this. Also VOY had a Klingon ship show up in the Delta Quadrant. Why is this so far outside of the realm of possibility that they only explanation that makes sense is the idea that they must be close to the Beta Quadrant?
 
Yeah, that D7 battle cruiser from the TOS Movie Era wasn't going to get to the Delta Quadrant just using the warp drive it came with. Those Klingons ended up there because of more than just setting out to explore a Klingon legend or myth.
 
I mean, I guess 100 years of poking around at different warp velocities could get them there but the journey seemed a bit assisted by something that was never referenced. Kind of how we're just supposed to accept based on the second TOS pilot that the S.S. Valiant reached the Galactic Barrier using just Warp 1-range engine technology from the Zefram Cochrane Era and around the year 2065 but you know that some magnetic storm or wormhole helped that ship get to the edge of the galaxy so quickly.

And going in the other direction, Voyager encountered an entire colony of Talaxians near the end of season 7 that were many, many light years beyond where they should logically be, likewise without explanation.

What's more disturbing is that they have a rather large region of space where any person with a high level of ESP is turned into a god in a matter of hours. I guess that's how the Q continuum was created...

Except that going through the same Barrier two more times in TOS did nothing to anyone else in the Enterprise crew. Oh, Trek. Your inconsistencies never fail to amuse.

Indeed, "I lost a brother once..." everybody thought he was talking about the brother he lost in Operation - Annihilate! and then he says "I am lucky I got him back." and everybody says: "What!!!"...:eek:
 
I liked everything about it. I can't wait for the next episode.

Interesting that the ship had been being searched for 'for years'...and its name was known as well.

I just wondered why Starfleet never used Medusans against the Borg, but if the Medusans can build containment suits to remove the harmful effect of their presence, the Borg can probably likewise build their own shields that can do the same.

In the comic adaptation for Star Trek 5, Peter David changed the line to "I've lost two brothers, but I was lucky that I got one of them back".

Kirk's cold. And yet everyone bashes Spock for not even mentioning Burnham or Sybok.
