    Except interspecies relations wouldn’t procreate on its own and if it worked at all would require serious help from science. Spock was a result from lots of genetic assistance, and that’s being very distantly related (TNG The Chase).

      In DS9, Dukat accidentally knocks up two Bajoran women and I seriously doubt they were undergoing advanced medical treatment to deliberately have a child in either situation.

      There was a TNG episode that revealed that this ancient species seeded the galaxy with life which explains why there are so many humanoid species and might also explain how different species are capable or procreating.

        I read somewhere that there is an implication that cardassians are descendants of ancient bajorans (see solar sailboat episode)

            Can we just all by mutual agreement say that Trip never got impregnated in an alien holodeck? Just for the sake of Enterprise as a whole?

              I couldn’t get into ENT when it was broadcast. Where should I start binging, and what should i skip?

                It’s actually not bad at all. I think it just really suffered from is timing. A heavy Texan accent after 4 years of really shitty Bush corruption, a really dumb opening theme song, being a show about the past of the future that’s still the future, and Temu Angalina Jole. When you remove it from the mid 00s it’s really well done. But you know. Skip that opening credits hard that song still sucks ass aggressively.

                  The overly sexualized decontamination scene Rick Berman’d me so hard my suspension of disbelief was ruined not just for that scene, but the whole series.

                  I’d like to avoid that if possible.

                  The Texas accent actually wasn’t bad for me, but I get what you’re saying. And the skip button was invented for commercials but continues to exist for the ENT intro

                    It’s all worth it for the final season which is basically one long TOS tribute (except for the last episode which is one of the worst Star Trek episodes ever).

        It wouldn’t be the first time different canon collided with each other. In that case I tend to go with the one that makes more sense.
