Entry: The 'Star Trek' Guide to Interspecies Mating - A87870261

Here's a bit of fun for Trek addicts like me who are suffering from Trek withdrawal. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it

GB

Excellent! Definitely an enjoyable read, an entry I'll return to soon.

Good entry, GB.

You might like to mention the strange relationship between Neelix and Kes. It's strange because Kes is such a short-lived species, living only 9 years in total.

Fantastic Entry - really informative as well as entertaining! I particularly liked the Q section.

Very nice. A little scifi titillation never hurt anyone (except people who have sex with Klingons).

Thank you everyone

I wrote the Q section just for you Sasha

I did consider the relationship between Neelix and Kes, but as they never actually mated, I don't think they belong in this entry.



GB

Q can mate with humans, as an early Next Generation episode has a character called Amanda who is half-Q.

Kes does mate with Paris in an alternate timeline, and they have a daughter who marries Kim in 'Before and After'.

Janeway and Paris once evolved into a different species and then mated, does that count?

<BB<

Oh yes, I remember those shiny little creatures and Janeway's comment about being a mother once she got back to normal I don't know what the creatures actually were though - reptiles? Like little newts.

I could go on forever if I add all the alternative timelines and I did originally start out with just one example of each race - hence why Spock's lovelife is left alone, and it's a anyway due to the latest films showing him involved with Uhura

>>Q can mate with humans, as an early Next Generation episode has a character called Amanda who is half-Q.<< I actually thought Amanda's parents were both Q who defected?

Weird amphibian/reptilian things anyway...

Thinking about it, I think you're right, that they were Q who took human form. In which case, that's two Q deaths when Amanda is orphaned, even though Q in Voyager says that no Q has died in millennia...

<BB<

"I wrote the Q section just for you Sasha "

Mine is not to question Q... ()

Weird amphibian/reptilian things... yes, but they were "both" those things, evolving from "both" being human, so in essence Paris and Janeway weren't interspecies mating were they? It wasn't as if Paris jumped on the reptilian Janeway or the other way around

GB

What happened on the shuttle Cochrane stays on the shuttle Cochrane – we assume they evolved at the same time, but it is vaguely possible that Paris evolved first... Best left out, though

(Incidentally, my great-grandfather served on HMS Cochrane during the Great War, but fortunately didn't turn into a weird reptilian swamp creature).

<BB<

Are you sure, BB? I mean, a lot of things are covered under the Official Secrets Act...

Hello GB, lovely read.

But I think you may have missed one significant inter-species mating: The one that produced B'elanna Torres.

Maybe add a bit about her (or her parents) under 'How to attract a female Klingon'?

Best of luck with the entry!

Thanks Otus, I've added your request to the How to Attract a Female Klingon section now.

GB

I'd forgotten B'Elanna and Paris eventually did become a (semi-)interspecies couple.

Best of luck with the entry!

Thanks

I've added some more now - Leeta and Rom and a Cardassian section.

GB

Excellent An entry I can't have too much of.
Is it worth mentioning that Cardassians during the occupation took Bajoran females to be 'comfort women', one of whom was Kira Nerys' mother who was Gul Dukat's lover for many years?

<BB<

I already mentioned that using Ziyal as the product of such a union. As Kira is coupled with Odo (cough) I'm reticent to mention her twice. Gul Dukat also appears (with Kai Winn)

I was pondering exploring the union of a Romulan and Tasha Yar in the timeline which was changed to prevent the Klingon war. That resulted in the half-Romulan Sela, who was played by the same actress as had played Tasha Yar, although half human she displayed no human qualities. Not surprising considering she grew up on Romulus and rapidly rose through their military ranks even though she was half-human. Still, I thought her (Tasha's) romp with Data was infinitely more interesting.

Another Romulan I could mention instead was the female in TOS who thought Spock was another Romulan, and they had an erotic joining of hands. Does that count as sex? There's not a lot in the Star Fleet database on Romulan sex, according to Dr McCoy. Speaking of Bones, one of the Dax incarnations had a liaison with him didn't she? Jadzia remembered it well
