No mention of Matt Frewer or his episode?
I guess you could say the Prime Universe itself was always in a state of temporal flux where things were rising and falling like the crest of a wave. Big difference with most of these changes as opposed to the so called Kelvin Universe is that all these previous occurrences more or less reverted … mostly.
Well, it was a different time. Not that that excuses it (I remember being just a bit uncomfortable even at the time about it) but I figure even as progressive as (some of us) we are, there's still stuff we're going to be castigated for in future despite our best efforts.
Oh I love that film. Saw it and Switch twice, on consecutive weekends when they originally came out at the cinema.
Well, there was a tangential universe where Edith Keeler didn't die for starters, whether these alterations permanently exist as an alternate timeline and it's just the characters jumping back to their 'previous' one as opposed to deleting the 'new' one is never specifically stated.
The Q Continuum exists outside normal space-time so they could be completely isolated from all of this.
I don't know the specific articles off the top of my head but yes, fetuses with genetic defects do miscarry at a much higher rate than fetuses which do not. It's a defence mechanism for the species (orientation is not one of those things as the whole situation with twins demonstrates - if there was, for argument's…
This particular one didn't even sound great in theory before the event.
One of my friends told me his workplace has rented somewhere else in Cleveland for the people who can't work from home because they couldn't use their regular workplace, I'm guessing proximity to the event made traffic and pedestrian conditions impossible for access.
It's been done.
It's complicated. I know some diseases like Huntington's Disease (autosomal dominant) and Cystic Fibrosis (autosomal recessive) are have the gene or genes/have the disease and don't/won't, so I imagine there's some human characteristics which are like that too (+ gene = yes - gene = no).
It's a bit too hard to expose one twin in a such a way to a theoretical environmental factor to create this effect while not doing so in another. Hormones and the like (assuming those are even the causes in some cases) are a bit of a blunt instrument in their effects, especially in a situation where there's a shared…

Well, going by the raw data, I think it seems mostly likely that it's multifactorial but that's as far as I can go with that myself. The rate of discordance being as high as it is among identical twins seems to rule out a purely genetic explanation/pre-birth cause.
Strictly speaking with time travel, there's a strong argument to be made that the ripple effect on any disruption no matter how minor would lead to a cascade effect that effectively causes everyone who existed in the earlier timeline to completely vanish from existence and be replaced with someone completely different…
"that we would be inadvertently implying that sexual orientation was a choice"
I've only seen the original early release version (which I believe was re-edited) and for me that was enough in the sense that at the start of the pilot, Karen Gillan's character clearly had no awareness whatsoever but by the end, she'd learned something and was on the path to self improvement.
No thank you. I don't think she's very popular with the government right now either given what she's said about them in the past either.
Well, because it's something from George Takei, of course:
