The Orion Union

[M'Sharak]

If that's what I said, you'd have a point. I never said MUST, I said--because they look like no Orion we've seen before beyond the green skin--that they could be (and I prefer to think are) another race. By your logic, Kermit and Yoda are Orions.

(Sucks when people misrepresent and over-simplify your argument, doesn't it?)

Or, perhaps, simply misunderstand the argument? "I don't regard those women as Orion" does seem a rather definite statement, even if it's not exactly the same as saying "They must not be Orions.".

The male Orions in TAS were a pasty pale blue.

Must've been Brits. Can't believe they didn't go with Yvonne Craig or Susan Oliver Look-a-likes )

True, and thanks for being the voice of reason. I should make it clear: I know they are supposed to be Orion and expect the vast majority of fans to see them as such. I'm just throwing out a friendly--and, I hoped, fun--dissenting view. And, like I said, I see no reason why many Trek humanoids can't have green skin, just as the range of human skin tones is reflected in Bajorans, Vulcans, Klingons etc.

I agree. When i was in the army almost a decade ago, i served with muslims.

What relevance is their religion?

Were these Muslims Americans, British, French, Canadian or so on?

Or is this the tiresome confusion that "Muslim" is a racial term encompassing people from certain countries in the Middle East?

She appears in A Choice of Futures, which I just read. Had no idea/forgotten she was the Orion in "The Time Trap" Though I thought she might be a previously encountered character.
