What you guys don’t know is that I have a raging mullet (except mine is more emo lesbian than southern redneck but I digress) may the mullet Trekkies rise up!!!
HELLO IM HERE TO TALK ABOUT MY ISSUE WITH BIOLOGY AND STAR TREK AND ITS ISSUE WITH THE LAWS OF SPECIATION CUZ I HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH BIOLOGISTS (I disagree with many of the laws and theories put in place specifically in biology)
The law of speciation in biology is that the way to classify different species is that they are not able to procreate, and if they are, that the offspring is infertile. They are plenty of examples of hybrids in Star Trek. One of the most famous being of course, Spock, a human Vulcan hybrid. Spock never had any children, so it’s very possible that Vulcans and humans are able to make offspring, but they are still considered different species because their offspring is not able to procreate itself. But then how are Deanna Troi and B’Elanna Torres able to have children?? Deanna Troi is a human Betazoid hybrid, by the law of specification that should mean that humans and Betazoid are able to procreate, but their offspring is infertile right? WRONG! Deanna Troi is somehow able to have children with Commander Riker!! The same goes for Torres, Torres is a human Klingon hybrid, so specification law should mean that Torres is infertile, because human’s and Klingons are not classified as the species and therefore are not able to make fertile offspring. But then HOW is B’Elanna Torres able to have a child with Lieutenant Tom Paris? If Tori and Torres and both the offspring of supposedly different species, then how are they able to have children of their own?? Wouldn’t that mean that Humans, Betazoids, and Klingons are members of the same species? Is the law of speciation different in the future? If I’m being honest, I don’t think this is an issue with Star Trek. I think it’s an issue with our rules of biology. I think so many things in our current biology whatever are flawed and very close minded, but that’s just me.
It occurred to me that unless I die from an external cause, that I will probably live to see Star Trek’s 100th anniversary… this is both very exciting and also quite frightening
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPOCK I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SPOCK THE NOBLEST PART OF MY SOUL ALWAYS AND NEVER TOUCHING AND TOUCHED PARTED FROM ME AND NEVER PARTED
I made this a few months ago, and it’s just been sitting in my camera role. I deserves to be posted (more edits to come, I’ve had too many Star Trek edits just sitting there waiting to be posted)
