The Gorn fought on the federation side according to non-canon.

In order for Odo to have the best chance of spreading the disease, it would require a long latency period. Bashir mentions that shapeshifting accelarates the spread of the viral load. Once the Founders realized they were infected, they probably tried to shift as little as possible, most of them remaining in the…

Kind of surprised here. Rewatching these episodes, i didn't feel them to have much "filler" at all (except perhaps some of the Dukat-Wynn stuff.) It seemed liked a breakneckof awesome beats, with everything unravelling/falling into place at once.

Given the fact that Bajorans apparently had solar ships thousands of years in the past and were able to get to Cardassia, who knows, maybe the Cardassians are all descendants of Bajorans.

Question about GoT: I've never seen an episode or read a book. Two years ago I briefly read a few pages from a book my friend was really into. Didn't really catch my interest. But since it had become such a big pop-culture thing like Lost or The Sopranos, I thought I should read about it.

Yeah, the Dominion in the Gamma quadrant sort of struck me as a "dead" society. It wasn't an organization like the federation or even an empire. It's sole purpose was to protect the Founders. It did this by severely limiting the development of any advanced humanoid cultures. While there was at least some kind of…

Presumably, each other quite a bit, for practice. It makes sense the Dominion wouldn't want jem'hadar who had too much time to develop cognitively just in case. Also, from a genetic engineering standpoint, there's just no need to give them long life spans.

I think it was more what Sloan said. She was a Romulan patriot. She would support the Federation alliance untill it was no longer in the Romulans' interest. And like Bashir, they had her psychologically profiled as someone who would play the necessary role given the circumstances (since Koval was a Fedration agent,…

To be fair he was undercover.

There are attempts at providing canon explanations for the shift from TOS to TNG.

I'm suggesting S31 was aware of the Quickening BEFORE Bashir encountered it. If their virus was based on it, they would have to be. I'm sure S31 sent cloaked ships to the Gamma Quadrant to do their own reconaissance. They were probably aware of what the Dominion was before the DS9 crew.

Presumably the Dominion sent probes and such through the wormhole which were lost. One thing that is not completely clear is whether the Dominion in the alpha quadrant is in contact with the Dominion in the Gamma quadrant (The female changeling is aware of the illness in the link, but it's possible she was aware of…

In 325, the council obliged
a set of sacred testaments, transparent and wise
the truth is only ever relied
upon that which we agree and abide

I think season 3 of Enterprise really works when binge watched. I found it much more compelling then the earlier seasons, which mostly just seemed liked a blander TNG clone.

But what is not generally acknowledged is that US intelligence services DO in fact engage in totalitarian enterprises. They disrpt and discredit actvists or those outside of the mainstream political power structure. They just do so quietly, while publicly maintaining that they don't and they are protecting freedom. …

I feel like he would have had to at least been aware of them and basically what they are. I mean, he was the number 2 in the Obsidian Order for years.

Seriously, fuck you all. Fuck you all so very, very hard.

SPOILERS I think it's sort of a resolution to that plotline, and also a bit of a red herring for what comes later.

That's the thing. Sure these inter-species relationships make sense when they're all just humans with makeup. But can you see, say, a human falling for a gorn?

STO can be considerd cannon, and it has alot to say about previous stuff in trek.
