RVWinkle posted:I was thinking about the Prophets a while back and came to the conclusion that they are the ultimate evil in the universe. They manipulated Sisko's dad to make Benjamin and then manipulated events so he would end up on Bajor. This leads me to conclude that they caused the massacre at Wolf 359 to kill Ben's wife so he would be reassigned. They influenced the Cardassians so they would occupy Bajor leading the federation to eventually occupy Deep Space 9. The Prophets are literally responsible for decades of genocide and massacres. That means they were probably working with or manipulating Q tho, to cause Wolf 359.

Between that and the events of First Contact the Vulcans must have thought we were like the weird time war aliens like the Krenim of the Alpha Quadrant.

I haven't looked at the timeline of everything but at any point where was Janeway aware of the carnage of the Dominion War did she pass up on a chance to intervene in it? I mean future finale Janeway arguably but she presumably felt crippling the Borg was more important overall. Also I bet they felt like idiots when she showed up "I could've been breaking the temporal prime directive all this time out here?!?" I mean we've seen several instances where time cops or spies or whatever intervened in time travel in Voyager or Enterprise, why did they let the Krenim run wild anyway? How policed actually is the timestream by Future Cops?

I would say that their relationship is not only poorly written, but that the entire Ocampa species is poorly written in the extreme. I don't know or care how it all works with them, and I suspect I share my apathy with the people who conceived of the species in the first place.

Did they just turn up and he was there and they're like "eh..... he's literally the perfect spy and a completely unique lifeform unknown anywhere else in the galaxy, and nobody has any knowledge of or defences against a shapeshifter..... make him the mall cop on this small outpost I guess..... maybe get him a segway so he can catch shoplifters better" The Alpha Quadrant was home to numerous races of shapeshifter, one unique one is a curiosity but hardly a prize. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Shapeshifter

Neddy Seagoon posted:They had entire shifts of qualified helmsmen forced to give up getting to fly the Starfleet Flagship because Picard wanted to give some kid a turn for a couple of hours. If they wanted a character like that they could've just made him a cadet from the start, who got awkwardly assigned to his mom's ship. I knew a guy in the merchant marine who got assigned as an engineering cadet to a ship where his dad was chief engineer, hilarity presumably ensued.

Sunswipe posted:I see the problem. You're thinking of Ezri. Prodigal Daughter and Field of Fire were good classic Trek episodes that had like an original series flavor almost, but yeah maybe not time optimal either. Ezri is a good take on the Trill stuff and I can't hate her episodes though - she had the kinda misfit vibe like Spock and worked better all in all than Jadzia imo.
