[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7577086, member: 37579"] The key phrase there being “that can’t be explained”. Yeah, you can fan wank an explanation for most of the changes. That doesn’t mean they’re not changes. The fact that we have to explain it ourselves because they can’t be bothered is an issue and example of them not caring. Heck, even something as firm as “first android in Starfleet” can be justified. “Oh, that mean first androids creased by a Federation member, not non-members” or “Data was the first android created by humans” or “she’s more of a robot than an android”. But the fact remains is they’re just making stuff up as they go along and leaving it for the fans to fit it into continuity rather than trying t make it work. His “one interesting thing” was that he belonged to a prey species that could sense death. That was unique: we’d never seen that before. Then they replaced that aspect of the character and forgot to add anything new. Now he’s a predator, like half the intelligent species we’ve seen... Which just makes the life cycle of his species weird. They’re wolves, who don’t actually become predators until middle age and are dependant on the rest of the pack for that time. [/QUOTE]
