The Federation didn’t need 31 to win the war
Do we know that for certain? The cure to the virus was actually pretty fundamental to the Female Changeling ordering the Jem'Hadar to stand down. She refused to surrender until Odo linked with her and cured her.
I completely agree.
I've often thought that there must have been plenty of Section 31 operations that didn't rise to the level of, you know, genocide, and that those operations were likely more ambiguous.
I'm hoping that whatever they're up to in this movie is more in that vein - almost certainly illegal, but probably more ethically murky?
They were definitely villains in the series...but I don't think DS9 ever made a strong case that they weren't necessary (nor do I think they were trying to).
Right up until the end, the morphogenic virus was critical to the end of the war.
It's quite difficult to describe the character of Fuzz. This is a species that we have never seen before.
...Huh. So neither Vulcan nor Romulan, apparently. It's been a while since the word "Vulcanoid" has been on my mind.
So could any given episode of "My Little Pony" - in fact, the number of things that could say "Star Wars" on it is literally endless!
The EPC seems to be an endless source of controversies, I can't keep track of them all.
Hey, Hugh isn't dead in STO canon!
Edit: I briefly forgot that he's technically already in the game, but still!
Tractor beams and force fields are actually both supposed to be applications of graviton technology, so...kinda?
But no, I don't think that bit of the Technical Manual is very consistent with how we saw the holodecks actually being used.
I wonder if they have any regrets about being in this constant cycle of having to top themselves.
be a good Lemmy and block the community if you don’t want to see this content in your feed
Never gonna happen. They don't have the brain cells.
It thankfully stops short of "meat":
Such animated characters are composed of solid matter arranged by transporter-based replicators and manipulated by highly articulated computer-driven tractor beams. The results are exceptionally realistic "puppets," which exhibit behaviors almost exactly like those of living beings, depending on software limits.
Objects created on the Holodeck that are pure holographic images cannot be removed from the Holodeck, even if they appear to possess physical reality because of the focused forcebeam imagery. Objects created by replicator matter conversion do have physical reality and can indeed be removed from the Holodeck, even though they will no longer be under computer control.
Obviously, there is an inconsistency here, as we saw that later holographic characters could not be removed from the holodeck, and therefore must not have been replicated.
