He's wearing the same clothes as everyone else.

I mean the clothes is the last thing I complain about Star Trek because if the production people can't invent future music, I don't expect them to make future clothes. lol

They also didn't have interconnected computers that held tens of thousands of backups. We have a hard time eliminating or hiding data today, the meme ( the internet never forgets) is going to be doubly true over the next 1300 years.

The burn just does not seem like a force that can really harm digital information outside the ships that held it, But that is a small fraction of the computers and so on that held that data, that was nowhere near the burn.

And the Federation went all the way with it's backups, having multiple records planets solely dedicated to the backing up of it's collected knowledge.

They say a lot of things that are "true", until they say the next thing. That's how canon and continuity works. Who thought Klingons were a long lived species until the TOS three showed up on DS9? A lot of fanon and Lit had them with short lifespans. Even with the Trill we got one version in TNG and another in DS9. The TNG version faded into obscurity.

This is true, we are swept along in the currents of whimsy.

 

[firehawk12]

It was a wonderful tribute to DS9 - I was in tears by the end. Prophets, Fire Caves, gumbo, punching Q, Emissary, The Dominion, Dax, baseball. These were things from DS9 - things I remember. And they mentioned those things.

Incredible stuff.

For a closer look at the care and respect woven into this tribute:

I attribute this to some intern in some CG art studio being told to make a random family tree and them just doing whatever it is they needed to ship the product. lol

I accept the possibility, considering they said it's rare for a symbiont to live 800 years but the symbionts aren't joined as soon as they're born so Bix would have been over 900 more likely (one could interpret 800 years outside the pools) but for now I think I'm going to stick with the headcanon that Dax hosts had some interesting adventures that took them on a less than linear path to the 3190s. Until such a time as something concrete makes that impossible to reconcile.

Yeah I was chatting about this with friends on the weekend- my headcanon is that Dax spent some time on 'Meridian', effectively leaving our timeline for 60-600 years, depending on how much they were enjoying it.

In my view it was entirely intentional, and, combined with a lot of other elements shown explicitly or implicitly in the episode, indicate that Sisko did indeed return and raise his child.

He wishes it had looked that good.

 

[Set Harth]

that's cold.

 

[cooleddie74]

What Scotty and Chekov are wearing in the deleted orbital skydiving sequence from GEN isn't great, neither.

Isn't that the same skydiving suit B'Elanna wore?

 

[cooleddie74]

The exact same one. Berman and Braga weren't about to let the expense of making that costume go to waste.

Someone deleted Sisko's other child from history and then decided to mess with Sisko's parents in the records as well?

<Long rant on how a 24th Century skydiving suit shouldn't look like a 23rd Century one>

We never saw any other female Klingons wearing skydiving suits. Must be a canon violation.

 

[cooleddie74]

I buy into the head canon theory that Sisko's other child was ommitted to protect their privacy and personal records, since as the younger child of the Emissary of the Prophets they could become a target for slander or violence by factions who want to upset political stability on Bajor.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

It probably wasn't public knowledge that she was in the early stages of pregnancy so certainly easy to deny. She could also have moved far away from Bajor and lied about the child's parentage to anyone who asked with only the inner circle knowing the truth.

The alternative option that Kasidy miscarried is a dark story and I wonder if it could be told in a way that wouldn't just be darkness for darkness' sake?

Given all the errors on the family tree we may as well just ignore it entirely and consider that story an entirely blank slate.

We do know she still went by her maiden name later in life so that could be to further distance and protect her family. That or she just named her company Kasidy Yates Interstellar Freights because it rhymed.
