That’s what Kirk gets for being a grup.

Well, maybe if you’d stop scratching at it, it wouldn’t look so bad.

The thought just occurred to me: they talk about it being a big deal that the Ocampa only live nine years and... We assume they mean nine Earth years. But they never actually establish how long an Ocampan year is. If they have an orbital period similar to, say, Saturn, she could easily outlive Tuvok while lamenting that she "only" gets nine years.

Didn’t they also establish that Ocampan women only go into heat once in their lives, and have human size litters aka usually just one child, meaning they would be at Chinese levels of birth deficit?
Xariphon@kbin.social 7 months ago
Yes. Kes was artificially put into it and made a point of saying it happens only once.
As to them having a tendency to single births, I don't remember. There do seem to be few enough of them to indicate a population in decline, but...
If each couple can only have one child ever, their population would halve every generation, wouldn't it? That's... Isn't that wildly unsustainable, biologically?
I suppose they could represent an evolutionary dead-end...

Pretty sure the universal translator translates units too. Many times aliens (from outside the Alpha quadrant) using “parsecs” for instance. Wouldn’t really make sense otherwise, since the translations of those would be often pointless

Since it’s the mirror universe it should say Ketracel White: At least once

Dude, the Ocampa kinda give me the creeps. It feels like the polar opposite of “little girl that’s actually a million years old so it’s totally legal” that anime often pushes.
Except in this case, it’s someone that looks like a fully grown adult but is only 2 years old. And then of course we have multiple crew members interested in her.

Given how much oddball shit happens in Trek, it should be a pretty flexible idea.

Love it! My initial idea was to use the pre-exploded headshot, before I remembered Kes.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
There’s a lot of potential here…
