[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Regarding the Tholians: if they are indeed a crystal based lifeform then perhaps they can grow whatever appendages or limbs they might need at will which could mean that they can look like any one of those depictions if they wish. Which would make them shapeshifters, sort of. Another possibility is that they are only semi-corporeal and are in fact plasma based and the crystal structures are like shells that they harvest on their homeworld and use to travel around and interact with objects without melting them. Perhaps they evolved within their home sun and were colonised on Tholia by a solar flare? One small point though, wasn't there an episode early on in TNG where they encountered a crystal based lifeform and it was something totally new to Federation science? (no I'm not thinking of the crystalline entity...although that may also apply) If I'm right then either the Tholians are not crystal based or the Federation were never able to learn anything much about Tholian physiology until after said episode. In which case then we probably won't actually see the Tholians on Enterprise other than on the viewscreen....not that violating canon is unheard of on that show. [/QB][/QUOTE]
