I urge you to read Q in Law by Peter David, one of the funniest ST books I’ve ever read, in which Q meets Amb. Lwaxana Troi, Deanna’s mom. Good stuff.
YogSosoth, Wesley shows up in a deleted scene of ST: Nemesis, which you can see on the special edition DVD. He’s at Troi’s and Riker’s wedding. He’s a Starfleet lieutenant and will be serving on Riker’s new command, the USS Titan, as an engineer. No mention of the Traveler.
I confess I liked several VGR episodes, too, although the ratio of sucky:good was far too high for that series.
The civilization that created the probe was the one Picard experienced in the episode. They created it as a memory of their world so their world would not be forgotten.
It was actually the traveler who got the ship out that far and not a ship malfunction. They ended up in a section of space where thoughts could be made manifest and the traveler noted that they were not yet ready for such a thing yet.
In one episode of Enterprise T’Pol and Tripp had sex so they are at least compatible enough. In the same or different episode Dr. Phlox told Tripp and T’Pol that Human and Vulcan DNA are perfectly capable of combining to make a healthy baby.
The problem with that scene (I also just saw this one) is that first of all, when Picard entered Ten Forward, suddenly all of the people that were in there were gone and it was empty. Then Guinan emerged from behind the bar, like she used some power to prevent Q from making her disappear.
Worse than that, after Q saw her and stepped back a little, Guinan adopted some sort of defensive pose, and held her hands up like she was making claws and was about to shoot some magic weapon at him.
The only time they ever mentioned two humanoids having difficulty making a baby, to my knowledge, was when Jadzia and Worf were planning to have kids and Jadzia mentioned she was having some sort of genetic treatment to make it possible for them to conceive together.
I seem to remember either a fankwank, or a producer talking about all that…
What they said was something along the lines of… We know the Q used to be corporeal beings (some episode in VOY confirmed), and they became non-corporeal.
According to what I remember: the Q used to be the same race as Guinan, but the Guinan’s appreciated life and thought immortality and eternity would make it all trivial. As such, the only significant difference between Guinan and Q is that Guinan will eventually grow old and die…
Actually, IIRC, Keh’leyr (Alexander’s mother) was half-human/half-Klingon, and I THINK it was Troi who expressed surprise that that particular combination worked. Also IIRC, Keh’leyr said that her parents had undergone a procedure (probably the same procedure Jadzia did) to be able to conceive her.
On the other hand, I don’t remember ever hearing B’ellana Torres mention this about her conception on Voyager.
Were there any “good” female Klingons who were not half-human? The only other major female Klingons I can think of were the Duras sisters, or old ladies.
There were some “good” female Klingons on the warship that Riker served aboard as part of an exchange program, and aboard other ships during the Klingon Civil War, too. None of any particular prominence, though.
Wasn’t Azetbur (the chancellor’s daughter) in Undiscovered Country the one who carried on her father’s peace plans after his assassination despite the conspiracy to torpedo them? And IIRC it was the female VULCAN in that movie who was part of the bad guy conspiracy.
I assumed it was some sort of space-fu, like the strange moves Decker and the ensign made when fighting in The Doomsday Machine.
The only other one I can think of was the Klingon who married Quark. In a DS9 episode her husband was accidentally killed in Quark’s bar. After satisfying all sorts of Klingon ritual (including shagging her) she is able to take her husband’s place as head of her house.
There were two redshirts already on the planet. They beamed down two new redshirts to take over for them. They tried to beam up the first two redshirts… oops, they’re not in orbit any more. They never did say what ever became of those first two guys.
When Torres was pregnant there was at least one episode about the necessary and not-so-necessary gene therapy that the Doctor needed to do/could do to her baby. I just checked Memory Alpha and it looks like Miral would have been born with a deviated spine if Doc hadn’t fixed her up, but they don’t say if that’s a side-effect of Klingon/Human interbreeding or just something that runs in Torres’s or Paris’s family.
