Actually, your name is like his name.

Indeed. Shame I didn't notice when I first joined.

Phase II? Uh, huh? (Unless "Devil's Due" was another recycle job, but I was sure they had burned through all of those during the second season writer's strike.)

Actually it was a Phase II recycle; and so it goes:
#1) ST: The Motion Picture
#2) "The Child" - Season 2
#3) "Devil's Due" - Season 4

....Season 2 shortcuts, however, included only the one recycle, the clip show ("Shades of Grey") and 6 episodes less than what became the norm.

That would have to be after he nailed her. It's Kirk, after all . . . he'd be nailing somebody, and you know he'd do the god-chick.

If it's really supposed to be *the* Ventaxians, they will mess up history just another time and make the worst possible choice from a large pool of possibilities (it's only a name in the plot, but it means a lot for continuity).

It remains to be seen if they will look differently. Worse, the plot would make no sense, because the TNG Ventaxians were said to have lived in a peaceful agricultural society for 1000 years. They may have starships, but it isn't fitting to have a "small minority" of them raid Enterprise. Just as we wouldn't accept whining Klingons or greedy Vulcans.

"...or greedy Vulcans."

What, like Romulans, you mean?

Like the Cardassians were a peaceful loving society that made great architecture and were poor 40 years before TNG even though the military had been running a fairly facist regime for several hundred years?

Or Ferengi that aren't interested in money? Oh, wait, we've had that. How about Klingons who aren't obsessed by logic. No, wait, we've done that too. What about Klingons who don't want to be great warriors? Jem'Hadar who are individual, reasonable humanitarian (*cough*) thinkers? Individual Borg?

It's an aspect of Trek that is (possibly) necessary, but also (possibly) lazy: All Members Of Alien Races Act The Same. Why can't we have whining Klingons? Or greedy Romulans? Or Ventaxians who don't like living in a peaceful agricultural society?

Who said that line anyway? Was it a Starfleet member, or a Ventaxian? Because if it's the former, it could easily be misinformation, and the later, it could be propoganda.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

And yes, I meant to say "Vulcans who aren't obsessed with logic". Don't think that pointing that out makes you any sexier than me, because you aren't. Okay?
