Where's [insert character or ship name here]?

[ITDUDE]

Right, because it's obvious that every character, element, and plot thread from TNG, DS9, and VOY is eventually going to be called out by someone as "needing to be addressed in PIC."

So, since it's inevitable....maybe all of the "What do you think happened to Chief Engineer Argyle" threads could be under one umbrella.

I guess they all got merged here

 

[Crazyewok]

Harry Kim is a Ensign still.

Yup..........the Kim one was the breaking point. :-)

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

That Waldo is a changeling for sure. Good luck finding him.

 

[SJGardner]

Good, at least I don't have to open a new thread to find out what happened to Sela's handless Spock hologram. Last time I checked, he was on Romulus...

 

[Lord Garth]

Only so much can be found out about so many characters and situations in 30 (or 40) episodes. Especially if it doesn't connect to the story they're telling.

My biggest issue with it, as I've said elsewhere, is this leads to "small universe syndrome."

Realistically we should expect that the Alpha Quadrant has a population of what, two orders of magnitude larger than Earth? So take the chances of any two random people running into one another, and then divide by 100. Except it's probably worse than that, since they're scattered all across the galaxy, which makes showing up in one place very hard, even with most of space being empty.

The bigger you make the characters - the more central to everything - the smaller you make the universe feel. It's part of why Ferenginar just felt like a small town somewhere in DS9.

Which is an issue in all of fiction since beginning of time

There is definitely a love for small universes. Hence the "Wold Newton family/universe" that seeks to link all kinds of literary works that were never supposed to have anything to do with one another in the first place!

All fiction doesn't take place across 1/4th of the galaxy!

 

[Jedman67]

Truth is, the "fucking hubris" line would have been gold from Jellico. I hear Ronny Cox is still on the acting circuit.

Yup..........the Kim one was the breaking point. :-)

sorry!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Yup..........the Kim one was the breaking point. :-)

You are the anti-Janeway.

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

Yup..........the Kim one was the breaking point. :-)

Further proof that your rise to Mod was right and for the good of all!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Episode 1 should've been just Picard sitting in front of his holoscreen and calling every single main/recurring character still alive, even those he never ever talked to, just to ask how they've been. For added variety, some could've called him themselves and talked over the ones he was already talking to, until it all would've exploded into a cacophony of 50+ open conversations on the same screen.

Should been like that scene in Austin Powers where everyone he thinks of from the Sixties is dead.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Can all these be combined into a single thread? Maybe call it "where's Waldo?"

I guess they all got merged here

I feel ... young!

I am a fan of any image that can have Grand Admiral Thrawn and Bea Arthur together............

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Is there actually any interest in listing characters that actually have expertise related to the plot as it has been presented so far? Juliana Tainer, Data's "mother"? Shelby, the Federation's Borg expert at the time of BoBW?

 

[Crewman6]

Yup..........the Kim one was the breaking point. :-)

I assumed that was a parody thread...?

Shelby was the "Borg expert" because she spent a year and a half just re-reading reports about what the Enterprise crew actually went through themselves. By this point, plenty of people have had the chance to catch up with her.
