Let's fix Voyager

[Lighthawk]

Yeah, and then we have Enterprise giving us two species growing up on the same planet that can't mate, but races from entirely different ones can. What is and is not compatible in the trek universe doesn't often follow common sense or scientific reasoning.

You mentioned Enterprise...


DIE!

[Mikey]

Thank you grammar nazi, I feel enlightened by your nitpicking.

NP. Make fun if you like, but at least now you know what "unique" means.

...but considering how well tech seems to work between races in trek

Bingo! Exactly my point - the fact that this intermingling happens at all is the writers' fiat about which I was talking.

To be fair, RL modern Earth creatures mate outside their species all the time - the sticky wicket is that the offspring of a mixed-species union is sterile.

Amen to that, brother.

We could always say that the Progenitors make them all evolve to be biologically compatible and come up with similar tech

Now that would be just crazy.

Oh, wait - they did say that.

[USSEnterprise]

They did...damn, I really need to go back and rewatch some episodes....

What's this "we" stuff - I thought we were talking about VOY.

Oh, right.

Nevermind.

Voyager gave us 7 of 9 and the Doctor...that's about the end of it's positive contributions.

You're not counting the giant-newt porn?

[Lighthawk]

Mikey, I think we'd all appreciate you keeping your personal fetishes off the forum.

Oh, if only they were that mundane.

*ahem* Anyway, I didn't write the damn show. The only plus side to that ep is: if we had to have an ep with Janeway having sex, at least it wasn't in her human form.
