did you do the Pakled? After March 2020, i think i was transported to their home world.

Thank you Jeff! It's nice to be able to produce content that is at the confluence of my interests in science & film/entertainment.

@@OrangeRiver it’s time for me to become a Patron

I had said the same thing but scrolled down and saw your comment. Well said.

@@warrenreid6109 he’s amazing

Taking it seriously is part of what makes our fantasies so much fun! The more I can make sense out of a story, generally, the more I like it.

¡AND LOST SEVERAL NIGHTS ON THIS "MISTAKE"!

Seems like that would be pertinent information....

Yes I think that is a better way of seeing it. Their climate and temperature regulation may also be different as to create a different type of adaptation to deal with their particular star. As human skin color variation is our adaptation to dealing with our sun.

Then why aren't we green? Our vegetation is very green. Many evolution fan layman assume that mutations just happen conveniently to situational circumstance. However if mutations occur they must be random and they must be based on biochemical realities already existing in the physiology of the parent of the mutation. Some of them work out, many don't. Some aid health, most are destructive to health. Melanin in human skin can go pale pink to tan to black based on the density of melanin cites and their dilation ability. Human skin without these elements are very pale, with some pink, more or dialations tan, lots almost black. However the whiter people didn't just wake up in 7million BCE and say, man this sun is harsh on the skin. Road Trip. A chameleon or octopus has different chemical makeup. A plant leaf and stem has different photoreactive cells.

Lmao, I'm glad to hear it! Thank you

But, your absolutely correct, Viana was being presented as Origon slave woman because they're pheromones are so overpowering that Captain Pike couldn't resist; Only introduce of Number One and young Ensign only thing stopped her getting him.😊😅

Lmao

Fuck, I double checked the comments just to see if someone already made this joke. Congrats on beating me to it.

They could've been exposed to gamma rays!💪🤢

SAME here!

So do central African negroes have black blood cased on carbon? Blood does tint transparent skin (very obvious in Caucasian newbirn babies), but coloring is primarily cells that produce pigmentation despite blood color. Often by hormones (chameleons) or photoreactive (humans with a tan) or by pigment cell density (black humans)

@@STho205 it’s science fiction. Way to virtue signal!

Excuse me gentlemen. I couldn't help overhearing. Mr. Rudibega is employing the flawed logic of *bulverism* or the *identity fallacy*. Instead of presenting information relevant to the discussion, he fabricates his own false premise of motive upon another, and then attacks that construct of his own fictional motive instead of relevant information. This is not a valid form of logical discussion or debate. An argument can only be valid if the form of the argument is logically valid. So avoid using Bulverism, the Identity Fallacy. That would be wise. Afterall, it is only logical.

They've appeared a fair bit in this fan comic: startrek.swiftbow.com/

Thank you so much!

In other words, the Vina Orion slave girl was going to be in charge of Pike.

Thank you!

Thank you Jaime!

Thanks Shane!

@@OrangeRiver your welcome

Green lighting, clever.

Because it was cheap to just cover a woman in green paint and call it a day in 1966.

I figure Orions have been genetically engineering themselves for centuries. So the pheromones they emit would be tailored to local species, allowing Orions to better control whoever they meet. That would be an interesting idea for Orion history, where they would attempt to take over a political organization subtly, rather than by conquest. So lots of politicking rather than threatening, along with building up others to provide better leverage. The pheromones would also be used to establish their dominance at court functions, where the scent of the leader is supposed to be the strongest. This would affect room design, making sure that the scents/pheromones of the guests is sent out of the room via carefully arranged wind traps, while the pheromone scent of the leader would be blown over the guests (to reinforce her authority). It also means if an Orion leader is injured, that her pheromones won't be as strong, potentially leading to a coup or other political turnover (since nobody can smell her scent as strongly). As to the body shape - S6E20 "The Chase" Orion desire for wealth/luxury could even drive their technological development. Rome on Earth would not have wanted to develop better tools as it could put slaves out of work. Orions would develop better technology to make more wealth available. You would also have other Orions who would see the greater wealth being produced, and demand some of that wealth themselves (instead of wealth being concentrated).

Thank you Chase!

Thank you! I really like how this episode in particular turned out.

@@OrangeRiver I like your take on these subjects, and the way you delve into what a lot of us old trekkers have been talking about for decades. Keep up the excellent work.

It should be canon. I weigh it more than Enterprise and then all the recent crap.

Thanks for subbing! I haven't covered the Andorians yet, BUT...I plan to soon. And I'm not just saying that 😉

I've got plans to cover all of them at one point or another!

Sounds absolutely wonderful thank you kindly sir! 😁👍🏼

Classic internet stupidity lmao

I haven't really covered the Prime Directive as a singular topic, I believe.

Gene didn't really want a lot of elements of The Original Series to be carried over to the films and the TNG era. He kind of envisioned those as a soft "reboot" of Star Trek. But with the 21st century shows and films, we're seeing something of a renaissance of a lot of TOS elements :D

@@OrangeRiver They had Andorians in TNG briefly.

Yep, very briefly. In fact Gene barely wanted Vulcans in TNG :0

@@OrangeRiver What was going on with him?

just did

@@jeffhallam2004 Thank you so much!

@@OrangeRiver I support your art and your hopes! Keep up the good work!

@@jeffhallam2004 Will do!

As Kermit the frog said "it isn't easy being green"

The "red-shirts always die" trope primarily applies to security officers. Ops and engineer officers (whom also wear red) are generally safe.
