The Flight of the Protostar: The Long and Winding Prodigy Journey

1

A question about Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

The whales Gracie and George were stated to have wandered into San Francisco as calves. Outside of feeding events which can include the famous bubble nets, humpback whale pods usually consist of a lone mother and calf (or calves) pairing with a trailing "escort" male. Humpbacks are one of the few mammals that can be nursing and still get pregnant. So anyway, the implication seems to be that if they were both calves and coming in the same time as a pod, they must have been orphaned from their mother and part of the same family group. Therefore, when its later revealed that Gracie is pregnant this one question comes to mind:

"Was the pregnancy a product of incest?"

No wonder they were originally going to be called Adam and Evie.

Just started Strange new worlds s1 Gorn episode

I’m not happy with how the episode with the gorn ended. I really really liked Hemmer as a character and his arc was cut short way too early.

I don’t normally get upset about character deaths as I know they happen, but they don’t usually happen to a “main character” and I feel like he got the Tasha Yar end of the stick.

I found myself upset saying that’s bullshit at the end when they killed the last Gorn :/

☹️😢
