Well Andrew, seeing as we are already off topic what the hell? Here is all I can find from the three episodes (Heart of Stone, Business As Usual and Apocalypse Rising) he/she/it seems to be referenced in:
He (It?) buds, and therefore is asexual. The buds took a little over a month to individualize. For his baby shower O'Brien built him a hatchling pond and Bashir was getting them clothes.
The hatchinglings have wings that evidently tangle.
...and his litters have ranged from 4, 2 and then the unknown possibility of 8 to 18.
Asexual, hatching ponds, wings...could be anything, maybe he's (it's) a mutant jurassic park frogman?

I believe that the DS9 Companion mentions that they didn't really take Vilix'Pran seriously. They knew we'd never see him, so they just kept thinking up wierd things to attribute to him and his kids. Sorta like namedropping the Breen all the time until they actually showed up at the end of DS9.
I think Pran was probably plant-based, though possibly still humanoid in order to get around properly. Think Ent. Or possibly Goomba.

That one sentence explains why TAS should never be thought of as canon.

"Just like we don't WANT to see Captain Boday."
And why not? You could do lots of really neat things with a transparent skull. Maybe get some little servos in there to shift fluid around. Uh, with transparent skull prosthetics, I mean.

No, no. What I meant was that the effect of a transparent skull could, today, with modern prosthetic technology, look really cool, with moving parts and such, so that it wouldn't look like an actor wearing a skullcap with a brain painted on it, but actually have some depth and motion to it.

Just bought DS9 3 and 5. Only need 6 and 7 and my collection is complete. Watching the Tribble episode now, and I *really* can't wait for TOS DVD sets now!
But I'm not particularly interested in Voyager box-sets. Definitely a Trek lowpoint. I wouldn't really have cared if they'd never gotten home

Although I will say that the Voyager cases look much more attractive (and solid) than the DS9 cases, which I find to be slightly flimsy. I wish they had a cardboard cover like TNG and other box sets - Buffy, Sports Night, etc.

Yes, let's buy the Voyager DVD's for their cases... Why not?

I'll probably wind up getting them, eventually, because I am compulsive, easily swayed, and not a wise spender. DVDs are neat and fun! the ads tell me, and I listen. Oh, how I listen. Of course, I haven't gotten any of the DS9 sets yet, or even finished TNG. Because they are spendy.
