That's a fluke - (Deanna btw)

Just like the whole of Nemesis.

Miles DS9 left because she wanted to go back to Earth, and she vanished for most of the DS9 seasons leaving him to "bond" with Bashir. So it proves the point that trek tries to avoid successful relationships.

They remained happily married throughout the whole series.  So it would rather seem to disprove the point.

[Flipside]

As far as Deanna relationships are concerned, I always wondered why they kept a bike on a spaceship

[Knight Templar]

Ha.

That was pretty funny. Really.

you  obviously missed Dax being killed by Pah-Raith-Dukat around the time she was trying to get pregnant.

I dunno about that...I recall multiple instantances of "the petty fighting O'Briens", but on the whole you're probably right.

that didn't stop them from getting together though, becase after that the next host to Dax went directly back to Worf

Data and Tasha Yar...

...ow wait, nah.

I'd imagine that's it; ST has been doing surgical alterations throughout its existance as a show to do covert inter-species operations, but I don't think they've ever physically changed someone's species for that purpose.  The Cardassian agent in Voyager may be an acception as I stopped following that show after its first season, but otherwise that's a task outside of DS9-level technology.

Why wouldn't they be able to turn someone into an alien? 20th century surgeons managed to do it with Michael Jackson, so why not the startrek ones?

I fianlly saw the episode.  Reed is a "former" member of Section 31?  It's not actually ever named.

What going to be interesting is how they explain why "the section" was so silent for the intervening years till they showed up again on DS9, thouhg that'll probably never happen.

[Tiara]

Dude, they are meant to be silent. They are meant to go unnoticed. That's the whole point of the organization.

Surely they weren't silent...but this event may lead them to retreat back into the shadows a bit and not use command officers to do their work for them.

Data and Borg Queen... (eww), wait are we even still on this subject?

errr...we don't know what happens to any TV relationships after the show is over. we don't know If Ricky and Lucy got divorced 5 years after I Love Lucy ended, are you gonna tell me their relationship failed then, just because the show didn't continue on and show them married until they die?

There's the DS9 episode Second Skin, where the Cardies "turn" Major Kira into a Cardie. There's never any indication that she was able to scan herself and discover that she's still Bajoran on the inside, but perhaps that's due to her not having any access to a tricorder equivalent.

[Inquisitor]

Guess I should fire up the tivo'd episode and watch it.

I always like the book "The Final Reflection" they explained the human looking klingons as hybrids, bred to the purpose of interfacing with other cultures. And the guys with ridges were true "Imperial Klingons" untainted.

Kinda goes against canon, but it's an older book, and it's really well written.
