What episode is this?

[cooleddie74]

I guess considering it's a fictional race to begin with...and living in a fictional universe set 300 years into the future...anything is possible. I love how we let ourselves fall into all-too-serious arguments about all this, don't you?

That's what turned me off to Trek novels and comics years ago...they wind up doing anything and everything, showing no restraint and pushing things a little too far into the realm of fantasy. Having a sentient, talking Mugato in a Starfleet uniform is like having a sentient, talking panda bear in a Starfleet uniform. And "The Devil in the Dark" established that the Horta could only live in an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere for short periods...not to mention that the ship is clearly designed for humanoids who stand upright and use appendages to manipulate controls.

I would like to SEE "a sentient, talking mugato in Star Fleet uniform."

I would like to SEE "a sentient, talking mugato in Star Fleet uniform."

He had a very tiny cameo in the Wildstorm comic, "New Frontier: Double Time".

We see in "The Devil in the Dark" that the horta can control her acidic secretions cleverly enough to carve "NO KILL I" in the rock floor. Naraht had to stay on best behaviour while on the Enterprise.

Obviously the Horta was not a Red Sox fan.

Because if she was, she would have carved YOU KIL I (s).

No, if she were a Red Sox fan Vandenberg would have still insisted on killing her at the end of the episode.
