  Why could they not do in hundreds of years what the EMH did in a few days? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Something I would have liked to have seen is Vidiians being assimilated by choice on the basis that being part of the Collective had to be better than suffering from the Phage. Instead of them just being enemies, they should have really leaned into how horrible it would be to live with that plague hanging over their heads. It’s also implied in an episode or two that there are uninfected populations somewhere, probably under quarantine, which would have been interesting to explore.

    I’d still rate the warp 10+ as the worst of all star Trek. Voyager was cool but there’s so many plot holes everywhere.

      If you’re watching star trek for consistency and scientific accuracy you’re gonna have a bad time.

    The worst was the in-universe explanation for why all of the aliens are shaped like humans. That was just cartoonishly bad. I mean, I get it. There’s very few ways of casting actors that can play a sentient shade of blue.

    But just leave it. You don’t have to explain it. We all know. You especially don’t have to explain it in a way that demonstrates no one involved had ever taken Bio 101.

      Yeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.

    …And the combined total of thousand of years of scientific advances of myriad species. The Federation’s strength is in it’s diversity. No doubt the Vidiians made enemies of more than one species that were able to help them, too.

  You’d think they’d be looking for non-organic options. Go full cybernetic, shed their mortal, diseased bodies entirely.

    Or do cloning. If their own DNA is too messed up by the Phage then pick a non-Vidiian species that's particularly compatible and start running off copies to harvest. Apparently killing clones is fine by the Federation, paragons of moral virtue that they are, so this should be an acceptable solution.

      And yet I’m DS9 Bashir says that murdering a clone of yourself is still murder. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But maybe that was Bayorian law.

  perhaps they already did this until they all went extinct.

  remember, the Vidiians had been combating that Phage for thousands of years.

    You could trade for new ones from other worlds. I think other worlds wold be happy to grow some pigs for them.

      in thousands of years, I’m sure they could have tried a lot of things.

      a lot of stuff in that show made no sense. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  They may be rampant organ thieves but they have standards!

  That said, what evidence do we have they didn’t? With the phage rampaging through a full planetary population they could have very very horrifically turned on each other and every other living thing on the planet before hunting the stars

  • someguy3@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Pretty sure they’d have more luck with other civilizations to get their livestock than hunt them.

      I think we established at this point with the vidiians that Mister Logic Is Not At Home

  Real answer: b/c then it would not have been as horrifying, and thus you would not be talking about it here, all these years later:-).

  In-universe answer: various mysterious sciency-whiency BS mumbo jumbo thoughts that are fun to conjecture about:-P.
