Human nature isn't real. We are the byproduct of the systems we're placed under. Even more developing in our mothers we're affected by the environmental changes. Is the environment were to change we would change. If we utilized are technologies such as AI Automation and autonomous technology to provide goods and services to all people without cost. Removing the need for money. Removing the desperation people feel. The behavior I'm feeling you need to commit crime or be greedy what to take from others covet power is no longer necessary even to the person who previously felt those feelings. All the laws in the world stop people's desperation. It's making those environmental factors non-existent that changes society.

Once the hybrids become significant population of their own, will they become subspecies of both species? Or will they just remained hybrids with nothing changed at all?

Humans spreading that human seed 😅

Honestly, the prominence of humanoid species and the whole progenitor "explanation" is one of the least believable and least scientific aspects of Star Trek, especially their being so many hybrids who are fertile themselves -- when as closely related species on Earth as horses and donkeys can't even achieve that, it pushes believability with alien life with presumably a completely different evolutionary history, no matter what happened 4 billion years ago. That's a lot of time to allow for genetic drift and the incompatibility that would imply. I understand it's because of the makeup limitations of the 1960s, and that Roddenberry thought it was more interesting for Spock to have a mixed heritage. But still, they could have left it at Spock, as a unique example only achieved through extreme medical intervention, instead of doubling down on the concept. Honestly, most of the human/hybrids would work perfectly well as characters if they had *just* been aliens. I personally would love to see more focus on the non-humanoid species, like the Tholians, Horta, Gorn, etc. Star Trek is getting better in that respect.

Humans are genetically compatible with... Caitians?! That one surprises me. So... do they have fur? Or tails? Although I remember a novel that included an Andorian-Edosian hybrid (though I don't know if genetic manipulation was involved, or how many limbs they had). Infinite diversity in infinite combinations would yield some interesting outcomes.

Can you make faction versus videos where you compare the species, technology, military, intelligence services and assets of the factions to determine who would win in a head on conflict with no interference? My suggestion the Klingon Empire vs the Romulan Star Empire both factions are at full strength.

Starfleet member; "I consent" Member of newly contacted species; "I consent" Starfleet officer and medical staff; "we don't" *Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?*

No mention of the Metrons or the Organians. This channel continues to disappoint.

After this war, anyone knows about the relations between the Dominion and the Federation after that? The same can also be asked about the relations with the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire as well.

Sure Captain Kirk tried to be cruel to all of the seemingly all powerful energy beings he encountered but the solids were basically nothing compared to them.

At least Dominion is functional, and can be negotiated with. Can't say thr same for DS9's other antagonist species, the Pagh - Wraiths.

The rebel captured the alliance leader and forced a peace settlement, but spoke had a bigger plan ,he stage managed the fall of the empire and laid the ground work for it to be rebuild, but more like the federation, ( their was a book series)

This sounds like anti imperial, rebel propaganda, doctor cochran foiled a vulcan sneak attack attempting to conquer earth when we were recovering from ww3 ,

Earth is terra in both universes , the terran system, aka sol system, sector 001

Slight mistake: the white wasn't an addictive drug. Jem'Hadar were bred to not produce a certain protein naturally, and without this protein they would die. White supplied the protein.

Great video. I loved it. I would have liked to see more of the subjugated species under Dominion control and more history about the Dominion but still very great.

To be fair, we solids can be real bastards sometimes. But it's not like we have a monopoly on that. Armus was no saint. (And don't get me started on that cloud vampire!) But the people you really need to watch out for are the non-corporeals! Sure the Medusans are all right (if you don't look at them), and the Organians stopped a war (for a minute, then they promptly forgot about it). But most of them just want to possess your body, or feed off your emotions (or both) or go around corrupting children or turning them into superhuman jerks, or have hissy-fits and wipe out entire sentient species. And I wouldn't trust a Q as far as I could kick one!

The next antagonist that I would like to you cover would be the Xindi , especially the Reptilians. I believe the Xindi Reptilians were equal if not superior soldiers to Jem’Hedar and the Breen. I’d also like to see you cover Species 8472 or the Undine.

I refuse to believe Dominion Propaganda . The Dominion are guilty of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity , err also Non Humanity i guess 🤔🤔

The Dominion's back story is one that actually makes sense in context of the story. It's believable. You can imagine a people who have been persecuted who achieve power and make sure nobody can ever persecute them again. What was the quote? What you control can't ever hurt you?

"victory is life"

One has to wonder if a cetacean federation member would want gill augmentations 🤔

If you think about it, the Federation, Starfleet in particular, couldn't function with a money based system. Think about it, how could you build a Galaxy Class starship, for example, if you had to pay for everything? The cost of that alone, much less a whole fleet, would bankrupt any civilization based on a monetary system.

Calling a loss a L is such a stupid term.

The Borg all the way. One cube eliminated 39 ships before it kicked out the sphere and went time travel. The Dominion/Breen alliance did loose in that war against the Feds/Roms/Klingons, so really an antagonising enemy, but not on the same level as the Borg.

With the Breen being revealed in Discovery as not entirely Solid, their alliance with the Dominion, and the Founders' favouritism towards them compared to the Cardassians, makes a lot more sense now. I was quite happy to see them make a return in Discovery. And they don't look so much like they're delivering a Wookiee to Jabba the Hutt.

Is it wise to let the the device that allowed the creation of intelligent species to ceased to be? Personally, I think kept it hiding until it is necessary to be bring out will be the good option. After all, no ones know when will the Rumbling on the galactic scale will happened.

the Progenitors evolved into the Founders and forgot their history after billions of years.

Junk

It reminds me of the ending of the book Contact (by Carl Sagan) where no matter how advanced a species is, there are always mysteries in the universe.

The in universe answer is the fact that the next generation show called the Chase tied altogether with a progenitor race showed their DNA across the Cosmos. Therefore, you would wind up having humanoids everywhere.

So, it was akin to a galactic-scale Genesis Device.

Kurtzman really did a thing.

Don't forget the Horta species.

As many beings with the power of gods as Captains Kirk and Picard discovered how can those be the main threats? If all you have to do is snap your fingers...

You mention that the turmoil that brought the military to power occurred centuries ago, yet Gul Macet talks about it as if it happened in his childhood

STD is not real star trek bro, please stop,, all this stuff about the breen is weird fan fiction, 25% different 😒

I've seen field commissions given to Federation cadets to promote them to ensign, but I've never seen a NCO receive a field commission, even though there are definitely situations where they should be (outside of extreme specialist roles like medical). O'Brian *should* be a Lt. Cmdr with all the crap he's had to put up with, and his experience surely outweighs formal academy schooling. Hell, he goes on to *teach* at Starfleet Academy after DS9!

I would love to eventually find out how the Cardassians relationship with the Federation improved after the 24th century, to the point that by the 32nd century, the Federation President is part-Cardassian. I doubt that's canon information right now, but I'm sure it's an interesting story nonetheless. Hope we eventually get to hear it.

Please use a real narrator for all your future videos. The mis-pronouciations of the AI voice is quite grating in this one, like "Captain Pick-kard", and takes viewers out of the video. While the Federation's currency-less society is a remarkable dream, and I could certainly see Earth evolving towards such a system, especially after WWIII wipes out current economies, I'm a little surprised that currency of some sort isn't used for "extras". Like, food, shelter, clean water, education, health care and other necessities could and should be completely de-monitized, but a luxury apartment decked out entirely in holo-emitters, for example, is probably something that you should be shelling out credits for. Though when necessities are taken care of, maybe the very greed for luxuries goes down accordingly. Either way, Star Trek's future, where regular people *don't* have to work themselves to death to line the pockets of a tiny minority, is a very hopeful one, and one of my favourite things about the franchise. It dares to imagine a better future in a genre full of dystopias.

This only came out recently -- I'm surprised you didn't mention Jillian the Whale's significant contribution to Star Trek: Prodigy -- how she demonstrated just how amazing whales can be at navigation. Voyager A would have been screwed without her! Here's hoping, however, that the part about many cetacean species becoming extinct in the 21st century will remain a part of Star Trek that will always be just fiction.

Need to discuss things with your editor -- they showed *completely* the wrong Enterprise crew at 8:11. I'm surprised you didn't go further into the Andorians' history after Enterprise. I would have liked to have known more about their alliance with the Emerald Chain in Discovery -- what, besides the Burn, drove them to ally themselves with the Orions. Perhaps a Part 2 is in order.

Would love to see videos on the Andorians and Tellerites -- Federation founding members who have been sadly neglected lore-wise.

Hands down the Borg were the biggest threat. I think it's naive to assume that Janeway wiped out the whole collective as well, as we *know* the Borg will cut off infected cubes/drones that pose a threat to the Collective. I bet they're just biding their time in the Delta Quadrant, concentrating on other assimilation priorities, perhaps rebuilding from Janeway's virus. On another note, your narrator sounds a LOT like Corey from the Star Wars channel, Corey's Datapad. Is it the same guy?

Resistance is futile...

How about those reptile type criters or the energy ones they seem to be a real threat too

Klingon (Cling ON, not Cling in)

Solid vid per usual. Here’s my take: Janeway proved the Borg could be somewhat negotiated with. At very least for a temporary cease fire. What more that could have lead to is unknown, the collective’s greatest strength was adapting after all. They’d never been rolled in ANY conflict, in ANY sense before the war with the Alpha/Beta quadrants. Voyager showed they’d at the very least acknowledged that, and to some degree were wary of outright hostilities versus either feds or that one alien species who was also rolling them for a while there. They showed they are capable of retreating and self preservation to a degree. Though yes it is true their aims are brutal and single minded, they can’t be so daft to not realize even if they decide to “make peace” with the federation(ie, ignore and cordon them in essentially), there’s an entire galaxy of sentient species to assimilate…in the meantime. I think therefore the real biggest threat was the Dominion. If not for Odo, and few other “horse shoes up there you know what’s”, I mean…we were f’d. Either collapse the wormhole, or roll over because the dominion was just dominating everyone until diplomacy over their disease and Odo’s pleas won out. Had Odo been off’d by the Cardies during the occupation? Or a few officers not been assigned to DS9 or one specifically died at Wolf 359? lol…game over man. We won a 1v1 fight against the Borg. Very little help, beat em back. The dominion? No. We lost. Then dues ex machina saved us. Remember, they demo’d the joint cardi/Romulan fleet. No effort. Without Odo giving the genetic sample to make the virus, we had no hope against a species that wanted no ground given, no peace brokered because they’d “been there done that” for millinia already. Borg are no joke. But the Founders literally manipulated natural evolution to create a galactic empire.

Question: Will it be the better idea to bring unity to the known spaces by using the Borg Collective as target for raids? You know, like how the Abbasid Caliphate did back then to the Roman Empire for a few centuries after the Umayyad Caliphate failed to take Constantinople for the second time. And with raids from multiple fronts, the Borg Collective shall be put on the defensive and need to constantly rethink again and again to deal with these raids.
