The real reason they seeded the galaxy.

  I love that they wrote an in-universe explanation for the TV quality prosthetics.

  Like when Worf had to address why Klingons looked different in TNG compared to TOS.

    *DS9 not TNG. I have a special place for that episode…partly because of Jadzia in the TOS uniform.

      Oh right! For some reason I thought they addressed it earlier.

      And yeah, you’ve gotta appreciate Jadzia in most any uniform.

      Don’t lie, it’s almost entirely because of jadzia in the TOS uniform

  I get it, you’re alone and bored in the universe and you have to come up with things to do to entertain yourself. I normally don’t kinkshame but flying around and masterbating into every ocean you come across hoping life takes hold is kinda fudged up.

    It actually makes perfect sense that a species who does that would be related to humans in particular.

  I always wondered, did all the other planets have dinosaur periods too?

    It’s probably implied somewhere that the KT asteroid was part of their life seeding program that started by eliminating predominant species. They would most likely look for the right conditions on a random planet to support life and then inject the biosphere with their creation.

      Lol no prime directive for the dinosaurs.

    Not quite Star Trek, but Rick & Morty did an episode with that as a plot point recently in the season where they only travel the galaxy, not the multiverse. Every planet had some form of prehistoric life, with the interpretations of what they found having more or less the same effect on society, but with different silly names.

    I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but i would imagine any place with life will have mass extinction events and that will make it likely that there has been at least one period before the current sapient species where there was a different group of animals in prominence.

  Jeffrey actually responded to this meme on twitter at one point saying “Oh so that explains it.” or “Yeah that makes sense.” Something along those lines. Hard to find the tweet now.

  Also quietly removes the meme from the planned posting for today

  More of an explanation than a reason, but an excellent one nonetheless
