Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Gasik" data-source="post: 9761062" data-attributes="member: 6877472">Yeah but again, there's so much of this permeating Trek already that coming up with a better explanation for one thing is like taking an umbrella with you during a hurricane.Sometimes, when they do try to explain stuff without resorting to meaningless Treknobabble, it's the literal "Voodoo Shark" and just raises more questions.  For example, "The Chase" felt the need to explain why there are so many humanoid aliens in our galaxy, and a potential explanation for why so many different species can interbreed, despite some vast differences in biology.Ok so in order to explain why so many alien races are depicted as just people with weird skin color or stuff glued to their foreheads, which we know was simply due to budget and technical limitations, you introduce this super ancient species who undermine the evolution of species in Trek, especially Humans (as Q seem to see as something special, but apparently they're run of the mill or worse, as they seem to be one of the few aliens who don't have special powers) and in the end reduces all races in the Galaxy to what? a lab experiment by the Progenitors?Or how an otherwise excellent episode of Strange New Worlds tries to explain the wonky timing of The Eugenics Wars, despite the fact that, as time goes on, it's still going to end up becoming dated, rather than just admit "yes, actually Star Trek isn't our future" which we all know it can't be already.And patching The Eugenics Wars does nothing to fix The Bell Riots place in the timeline.</blockquote>
