Because then they would not have had a plot device for William Shatner to use his cheaters.
That was just the 23th Century. They hadn’t cured the cold yet then, either.
Plus, didn’t Crusher cure a bunch of 12st century lethal illnesses in that episode where they resuscitated Leon Rippy, the rich guy and that housewife from their cryogenically frozen ship?
You just reminded me of another entry for the “single lines that still make you giggle” thread.
I seem to remember a mention of Andorian’s having three genders, so it might be difficult or impossible for them to breed with aliens with two genders.
They weren’t high as such (just hovering over the ocean, as I recall) but Scotty beams two humbpack whales and (as I recall) 400 tons of seawater in the fourth movie. He suggested it would a tricky business, but not an unprecendented one.
More impressively, the dino-people beamed the entire Voyager into one of their own mind-blowingly-huge ships.
In the two part TNG episode Birthright, there was a colony of Klingons and Romulans who began working together after Khitomer. There is at least one child of a Romulan and a Klingon, named Ba’el, there.
As to Andorian half-breeds, Shran’s daughter is half Aenar, but since Aenar are an offshoot of the Andorians, that may not count.
No, Andorians only have two sexes, though their marriages require four individuals.
Correct.
Randomly, does anybody know if it was ever established just how the Vulcans ended up as full members of the Empire in the mirror universe? In Enterprise’s MU episode, the Vulcans, like all other non-humans in the Empire, are slaves. In the TOS episode, they’re clearly full members, as Spock’s able to rise to Emperor, and thus accidentally screw them over by leaving them defenceless when the Klingons and Cardasians ally, ending up with Vulcans back to being slaves. Silly Spock.
And Dr McCoy cured kidney failure. “Dialysis ?! Barbarians ! Here, take this.”
