- Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this episode, Linkara begins Star Trektember with a follow-up to his first Star Trek review!
atopthefourthwa...
Originally released September 4th, 2018.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: I think the reason why the Organians needed to stop the war between the Klingons and the Federation is because the two sides would have destroyed themselves with their idiot plans and decisions
I vote to call the clone Linkara "Twinkara" until we figure out what exactly he is.
G0ATFAC3 some are calling him Retrokara.
Linkartwo Electric Bugloo
I was leaning towards "Clonekara" myself, but Twinkara works too
Oh my
*sees thumbnail to video, instantly clicks*
You expected Jojo, BUT IT WAS I, STAR TREK!
You beat me to that joke. Kudos.
Kono star treku da!
STARSHIP ENTERPRISE DA!!! KHAAAAAN!!!
Stand User: 「James T. Kirk」
Stand: 「Rocket Man」
The artist REALLY likes Jojo.
I'm totally calling it. He's Mechakara!!! after he was destroyed on Europa, the planets healing powers rebuilt his body from the flesh parts of him so now he's 100% human.
But if he was then Linksano would've picked up on the alternate universe particles. And Mechakara never would allow himself to become a full flesh being.
TonesTheGeek not impossible, maybe but less 100 human and more a techno organic machine.
Mario Mario true, unless he doesn't know he's Mechakara. The planet could have grown a complete body from a few cells. Doctor Who did it with a hand.
Even then Linksano's scan would've picked up on that.
That's a good point I will admit. My theory is that he is Linkara but from the past but was in some form of Limbo or was trapped somewhere while still aging. Like That one episode of ST TNG where they encountered a clone of Riker.
13:18 To quote Star Wars "No ship that small has a cloaking device."
zrlap
In the spirit of telling people lore that nobody asked me to tell.
In star wars there are two small ships with cloaking devices before episode 5.
Darth Mauls ship and a experimental republic blockade runner. You would assume that a experienced Imperial Admiral like that guy would know about that ship considering he likely commanded ships during the clone wars.
@@anthonyrodriguez6456 its not that its impossible for a ship that small to have a cloak.... its that ships that small dont generally have cloaks, the before mentioned ships being exceptions that prove the rule.
Anthony Rodriguez considering incompetence of the imperials...
Experimental, but safe to say after the Clone Wars it never got off the ground due to high production costs of installing a cloaking device on ships of that size or smaller. So if you can't go invisible, outrun the radar. Remember, most imperial ships like the Dreadnaught have outdated targeting systems, left over from the Clone Wars.
Anthony Rodriguez The Scimitar wasn’t actually SHOWN to have a cloaking device.
Not to mention that the line in question makes LESS sense in Legends where the Empire developed both a cloaked starfighter (TIE Phantom; prior to TESB) AND a cloaked Corellian Corvette (Vorknkx; between TESB and RotJ). Then again, one can easily assume that those projects were on a need-to-know basis only.
Surprised, but kinda relieved that Linkara didn't start accusing Linksano of cloning him.
Wanderingsage7 of course, because Dr Insano is the one responsible!
@@oliviawilliams6204 nope

Apparently, one of the early outlines for Star Trek II involved Sulu being the Captain of the Reliant.
Oh yeah whenever we get the deep “TWANG” it only foreshadows fantastic things to come.
It’s Vyce I’m calling it.
Thatguywiththestuffies TH-cam page.
Damn it! Oh well
But Linkara! Aren't you supposed to get all defensive and kick the other one out?! What are you, AVERTING TROPES?!?!
james gluck what is this madness?!
@@michaelrhett4958 Sparta?
Ky0dar Exactly!
Oooh, I was about to turn in for the night, and then this pops up! Thanks Linkara for keeping me awake a little longer.
Same! I have work in the morning, but after last week's cliffhanger, there was no way I wasn't immediately watching this.
The Name's Recoome Gotcha Recoome.
Hank Foreman and not for the first time
17:25 someone went to the Doofenshmirtz School for Self Destruct Buttons.
radu nicolae 🎶🎶 kli-i-ingon evil incorporated! 🎶🎶
Died the same way the death star crew did some jackass pulled the wrong switch or pressed the wrong button...
(Screams out into space) LINKAAARRRAAA! LINKAAARRRAAA!
Okay, so right off the bat:
1) Vyce cloned Linkara/Linkara was kidnapped during his journey to find Aplos: debunked in canon.
2) Time traveler theory/alternate dimension counter part theory: debunked.
3) Linkara is likely the original.
What does that leave us?
1) Retrokara is wearing an older reviewer outfit.
2) The two Linkaras are the same age.
3) Retrokara doesn’t have many memories except for: a cold, dark place and a lot of pain.
4) When was Linkara alone with someone powerful enough or technologically advanced enough to create a copy?
5) Why would someone want to make a copy? What could they have to gain by having two Linkaras running around?
My theory to this is that this might have something to do with the movie post credits scene. Like maybe the plotting hole had something to do with it.
One person commented that it could be Mechakara remade from the organic pieces from Europa.
@@Nothing-of-Much-Importance See that's what I thought too, but then I had an intresting thought. It's been long established that Mechakara used His Universe's Linkara's Skin to make a Suit to try to use his Magic Gun. What if that skin was somehow turned into a full on Linkara by the remaining Plot hole Energy instead. And because that linkara was used as surrogates for so long and has been in this universe for now about 8-8 1/2 years now he has been acclimated to the main ATFW universe. And somehow got some of Mechakara's memories.Also remember what 90s Dude said a few weeks back, Go easy on him he is truly sorry about it.
Somewhat none sensible I know but it's a plot whole were talking about.
Other options include transporter accident, and some form of magic as of now unclear, possibly a test or challenge from the magic gun (though your guess is as good as mine in terms of why)
Its possible the king of worms or the entity created a copy either as a soldier that could effectively fight linkara, or as a means of creating a host, that can't fight back, but has a face that will stop any of Linkaras friends long enough they loose the element of suprise,
Though all of this is over estimating Linkaras actual level of power, for all intents and purposes, linkara is a mortal, one with powerful tools, but a man that can die easily the key is don't let him open his mouth, just hit him like a semi truck before he knows you exist and you win, it doesn't take special tactics to deal with him, especially god like beings, his contingency plans don't work if he doesn't know you're there
Alright, my theories for the duplicate Linkara.
1. He is Linkara, but from a timeline that diverges from our Linkara's own at some key point in history, likely due to some sort of time manipulation, thus why he still has the old outfit. I suppose technically that could just be considered a parallel universe, which Linsano ruled out, but maybe there's a difference between a full alternate universe vs. simply a different branching path in the timeline.
2. This is a Mr. Mxyzptlk/Superman Reborn situation, where the entity or another being powerful enough to copy Linkara's DNA perfectly genuinely believes it is Linkara. I think Linkara teased he might be getting a new outfit, so I'm imagining a situation where the old and new combine to form a new whole Linkara, like what happened with the Pre-Flashpoint and New 52 versions of Superman in that story.
I don't even pay attention to the storyline segments but are you Linkara's understudy or something?
Because you sound exactly like him right now.
I recently found a DC Star Trek where the Enterprise is taken over by intelligent housecats, who’s cover is a lie.
And as Alice once said, "Curiouser and curiouser..." I don't think I can wait until Monday. I need more answers!
I have theories
1. Transporter Accident (Thomas Riker)
2. Mechakara skin suit revived on Europa (unlikely)
3. Clone by way of 3D printing with some implanted memories, to what end who knows (also unlikely)
4. Magic (I have no idea, but i'm thinking the Clone Spell of the Necromancy School in Dungeons and Dragons)
5. An elder god is screwing with him, presumably skeletor from the previous seasons halloween special, that was never touched on again
@@alexandercross9081 or just good old-fashioned Warpfuckery by chaos...
I love this Linkara already. I'm dubbing him Renkara. Len. Rin. What, I was a vocaloid nerd *before* being a DC nerd, I was listening to Hatsune Miku on my aunt's car before I started hoarding Teen Titans DVDs! But man, while the comic wasn't the greatest and it could have been better (even not having watched or read anything Star Trek, I've got enough second-hand knowledge from AT4W to know it can DEFINITELY reach better places), this lore is just… God, it's so good. I may be late to the party, but I adore this more than the previous arcs. And that's what I said about the PREVIOUS arcs too! Every single saga manages to build on the last one and bring a better, greater story to us! Hats off to you, Linkara, for real.
The last episode's cliffhanger is still the biggest punch to the gut I have ever gotten from a story tho
I like the dialogue between Linsano and Linkara. I like to think they’re trusted friends now despite their past.
So a few years ago, Linkara remarked during the Clone Saga that he didn't think that Ben Reilly being the original was the worst thing in the world. I wonder if that was Lewis trying to slip in a clue about this.
That musical cue at the end gave me Vietnam flashbacks of the entity.
"I suppose we could just ask him..." Damnit, and just as i was taking a drink too. *Wipes off monitor*
Anyone else excited for Star Trek VS Transformers coming out September 19? The siliness of that will be offset if at any point in the series the Enterprise will become a Transformer. TRANSFORM AND ROLLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE!
I want more of the Star Trek/ Green Lantern series. Especially after the ending scene of the second mini.
Hope Skywarp in it, he’s my favourite
Wait this is a thing?
...
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED THIS IS A THING!?
So can we expect to see Kirk trying to get into Arcee's tailpipe?
"The siliness of that will be offset if at any point in the series the Enterprise will become a Transformer"
Star Wars already did that because the toyline is owned by Hasbro. ...Actually come to think of it, IDW currently has the rights to Star Wars... Doctor Who and Transformers and a couple of references in MLPFiM (granted, one of them was Discord bending reality and even wearing one of the outfits Q wore which they probably would have done even if they didn't have the comic rights to Star Trek) but not Star Wars? WTF IDW?!
Oh awesome I get to watch Linkara before I head into work!
Looking forward to the rest of Star Trek-tember AND the rest of this "Clone Saga Storyline." Can't say I saw it coming but in retrospect I guess it's kind of fitting. XD
Also not to geek out but seeing my name in the credits is spectacular XD (Glad I was finally able to take the plunge and support :) )
Andrew "The Angry Sports Fan" Acuna I feel at some point mechakara will appear in this arc
HEY YOU
This is going to be a much better clone saga then Spider-Man! Also a few theories
1. This is an outcome of when Linkara “I am a man” punched the universe with the infinity gauntlet.
2. Plot hole regened the fleshy bits of mechakara.
3. A Linkara from an alternate timeline where he didn’t change outfits.
I’m betting more on 1 and 3 though leaning towards 1. You punched the universe with a cosmic W.M.D! Who knows what kind of insane chaos you unleashed! I’m talking Joker level insanity here!
"No tribble at all." I love that line.
Sleep is illogical. Also, LET THE CLONE MADNESS BEGIN!!!!!!!!
13:18 - They weren't banned by treaty _yet:_ that was established in TNG. In fact, the blueprints that came with DVD's of the Motion Picture outright say the shuttles _did_ have cloaking devices.
Make it so Linkara!
Also it’s funny how Linkara being a clone was unintentionally foreshadowed in I believe the very first “previously on” segment.
LOOK AND BEHOLD THE COMING OF THE TENTH, FOOLISH MORTALS.
And that's how you do a proper "first" post, kiddies.
*claps* Nicely done.
In one of the novels I think, Sulu was meant to to become the Captain of the Excelsior after what became the Mutara Incident, but Starfleet delayed it due to the events surrounding it and the aftermath. They didn't give him the ship because they wanted information together and his actions in stealing the Enterprise caused even more of a delay.
Also, the Treaty of Algeron, which you refer to, is signed long AFTER these events.
This is going to be one hell of a saga and month
Who watches Atop the Fourth Wall at 1 AM?!
Me: Oh boy, 1 AM!
I have never watched a single episode of any Star Trek series, but know a lot about it thanks to you. By the way, during the end credits you start something in parentheses, but end it with a comma. Loving the story-arc so far.
... We aren't dealing with a fern are we?
With how many characters Lewis is playing I half expect there to be a cover of the theme song with every Linkara singing it together.
Well, my personal and insane theory is that the clone is in fact just Pilo. Clearly it's simply gathering info on opponents due to a lull in the contest.
The few surviving Organians discovered time travel and migrated into the past to a galaxy far far away. They settled on an idyllic planet establishing the lineage of one of the great noble houses who came to rule and represent the peaceful world into the "dark times". Their direct bloodline would come to an end when an artificial moon appeared in orbit and emitted a beam of piercing green light. The only survivor of the house was an adopted daughter forced to helplessly watch the destruction of world, family and people.
Ultimate crossover established, LOL.
Calling it now the clone is actually an teleportation copy like in Star Trek and commander Riker.
I agree. Also because using a star trek plot line makes sense in startreksember. And it answers all questions, except where he's been all this time and how he's lost his memory.
Even though I'm more of a Star Wars fan, I still have a soft spot for Star TREK. I really gotten into the franchise during the summer of 1994 when my mom let my sister and I watch episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation right before we all went to bed. At the end of that same year, I got to see my very first Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Generations. Overtime, I was introduced to all the other Trek TV shows and movies that were around at the time, and I REALLY gotten into it when the Paramount Network (known as TNN until 2003) aired reruns of TNG, because I was older enough to fully appreciate it. I even hate the poster to the 2009 reboot movie framed and hanging on my wall along with other movie posters I own.
3:10- I love Commander Zebracake's product.
4:00- Cough*DeathStar*cough.
7:35- I just have a feeling when he comes face to face with a Klingon, he's gonna say, "Hello. My name is Ensign Bearclaw. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
9:36- "Ha'DIbaH." ("Animal" in Klingon)
10:27- Yeah, I'd feel the same way, too, when it comes to nerdy stuff like this.
16:51- Never stop on the Trek-frences, Lewis.
The way Retrokara looks at Linksano. I stand by my calling that this is Insano's work as a payoff to Linkara cloning Spoony.
AAAAAAA THIS STORY ARC IS ALREADY SO GOOD AND NOTHING HAS EVEN REALLY HAPPENED YET.
Its a mystery and we're just starting out with all the logical solutions we'd jump to just getting debunked. Cant wait for more!
I'm more excited for this than I feel comfortable admitting.
Based on all the evidence so far, the most likely scenario is that the other Linkara is Mechakara, revived via the Europa restoration field. The field regenerated the human components only, which might be what caused the amnesia. Linksano wouldn't be able to detect the traces of him being from an alternate universe, because the cells comprising the new body were created in this universe. The way he's looking at his hands indicate that they seem strange to him. If I recall correctly, Mechakara's hands didn't have flesh. The tears in the other Linkara's coat do line up with the ones on Mechakara's coat, and Mechakara was wearing a black shirt in his last appearance. However, Mechakara's shirt was torn, while the other Linkara's shirt isn't.
After that, the next most likely scenario is a transporter duplicate, like with the two Rikers in TNG, but that raises the questions of when the duplication happened and where the other Linkara has been since the duplication. It's too soon to be certain about who the other Linkara is, but things will become clearer as the weeks pass and we see more of the storyline. I'm looking forward to seeing things play out.
Okay, important question regarding the clone-storyline: Will Linkara-1 or 2 dye his hair blond?
In reference to the situation with a Starfleet shuttle having a Cloaking Device...
It was established in TOS that the Federation had stolen a Cloaking Device from the Romulans in "The Enterprise Incident", meaning they could have had an example of the technology to use.
The treaty prohibiting the Federation from developing and using Cloaking Devices, the Treaty of Algeron was not yet established, being first mentioned in TNG "The Pegasus" (Aired in 1994, well after this comic's publication date of 1984), but not only that, in setting the treaty was signed in 2311 while these events are taking place in 2285.
In other words, both from an outside perspective and in universe perspective, there's actually nothing stopping Starfleet from having Cloaking Devices. So the only real "WTF" moment is that prior to this they'd never shown Starfleet USING a cloaking device. Now, that's not to say it still isn't a WTF moment (as seriously, if you HAVE cloaking devices why put it on a shuttle and not the Enterprise proper), but it isn't quite a canon breaking as you make it out to be... ;)
Theory time: my initial thinking was that this is Mechakara who somehow came back again, having transferred his mind into a a fully organic body but the process damaged his mind. I then remembered that Mechakara despises organics and only wore Linkara's skin to allow him to travel between universes and attempt to access magic, plus it would remove all of his robotic advantages.
Second, perhaps another fragment/remnant of The Entity, this time unintentional and is the result of the dimensional anomaly trap interacting with its lengthy possession of Linkara?
Third, a delayed anomaly brought about by The Plot Hole (that is if it's still canon after all of the recent turmoil)?
Fourth, an attempted subterfuge by one of the participants in The Contest Of Champions?
Fifth, one of Vyce's backup plans just in case something resulted in his defeat/demise?
Sixth, not an origin of the clone but something that it did: it was the one that sabotaged Comicron-1 and forced it to crash on the Moon. We never did find out what caused the crash.
Well, I won't confirm or deny any theories except for this 6th one - what forced Comicron One to crash on the moon WAS revealed - it was a cybermat that had gone berserk. Revealed in the Yu-Gi-Oh GX Ch. 1 review, IIRC. There was no evil presence behind it - it was indeed a random occurrence of chance.
And yes, the Plot Hole and the anniversary movies are still canon despite no longer being associated with CA. =)
Huh, I don't recall that, I'll go watch the episode then. :) Thanks for the clarification and keep up the stupendous work. :)
Experience beej? Sounds right up Kirk’s alley.
On one hand, the second Linkara breaks my hearts, on the other one, why did they have to ruin a perfectly fine jacket!?
“I’d love to prevent your wars, but I gotta pretend to herd goats.”
-best excuse I’ve heard
Chrono Trigger. A 'moment in time' duplicated, a person stripped from it.
A Linkara, in a moment, duplicated... but the first wasn't dead.
Ah Linkara, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us that the needs o the plot, outweighs the need for logic? It is very cold in space.
I feel like you could do this plot idea in a modern comic
Idea A: the Klingons have somehow figured out how to access a transwarp network, but are cut off from it somehow after fighting the Enterprise a few times and their base is destroyed, retroactive foreshadowing for the Borg.
Idea B: This particular Klingon ship has stolen Spore Drive data from prior to the USS Discovery’s disappearance, taken during the Klingon-Federation War of the 2250s, and Starfleet Command is insisting that the Enterprise destroy the ship, extremely adamant that it doesn’t transmit to the rest of the Klingon Empire, to the confusion of the crew. Kirk knows what’s going on because of Spock detailing the information in a previous personal interaction since they’re such close friends, plus getting officially briefed due to his status as an Admiral, and it now falls on him to maintain the secret from the rest of the crew, creating tension.
Everyone! We must work together on this! To the theory mobile everyone!
The cloaking device thing might have been a power issue, though that would have been good for the comic to explain.
I spy a gold power staff on the shelf there.... of course! Linkara is really a triforan and split himself up into his Wisdom, Courage, and Heart forms! Now we wait~
Gotta love that Toto’s Africa Tour reference in the thumbnail/titlecard.
Is it me or is the R.O.B. the robot in the background on the shelf looking right at Linkara and each episode it’s featured in, its head turns more towards him.
Just saying, getting AVGN episode 100 flashbacks here
So for the plot part of the episode, did anyone else hear the entity noise at the end?
You mean that duuunnnnn sound?
I was literally just watching some of your storyline compilations. Imagine my happy surprise to check my notifications and see the latest episode helps been uploaded (I’d keep up with your actual website but I prefer to be surprised)
Nice JOJO Reference
Look at Linkara having character development. Recognizing that when an identical replica of him suddenly appear, he might be the replica himself
I'm calling it right now - this is somehow Lord Vyce, who will eventually remember who he is and resume his conquest plans with a new body to mirror his nemesis Linkara.
The hologram made flesh and with scrambled memories?
Nice to see you got Spider-Man's whole "Which one's the clone?" thing out of the way before it ate up the rest of the year's episodes :P
I have to wonder, how is Viga handling two Linkaras around the house?
Well, that's a fun little situation... Let's hope Linkara warned Harvey beforehand. Considering what's happened with doppelgangers so far, seeing two Linkaras again will make him flip!
See now this is how you treat a unexplained double situation: With patience, rationale and as many calmly asked questions are are comfortable.
As I recall, the reasons why the Organians don't do anything is covered in a later issue of this story arc. Basically, they were being held captive by the Excalbians (the rock creatures that made Abraham Lincolm and Surak fight Genghis Khan and Colonel Green), and were inciting this as another test to of Good Vs Evil. Kirk managed to talk the Excalbians into fighting the Organians directly, as the ULTIMATE test of GvE, and they agreed. So the Organians and Excalbians vanished into higher realms to do battle for all eternity. Which is why the Organian Peace Treaty is never mentioned again.
God, I'm such a nerd.
Tell Linksano not to rule out clone by way of 3D printing, essentially create the cells in a lattice, printing them one by one, it gets around the aging issue, and it can take ages if you don't have a lot of biomemetic gel handy
I'll hold off on the theorizing for the time being and just say that... poor Duplikara. I just wanna hug him. He looks so sad and confused. :
18:55 This has been another episode of Klingon with Gowron.
Warranting a guess. We know that the Vyce that came back in Pollo's temp body was his digitized consciousness, which is what he was post that point despite later appearances. His original body (presumably original anyway) was left behind in the Minnesota dimension, ie a cold place. My guess is somehow, someone or something turned Vyce's body into a perfect match of Linkara, hence the pain. For whatever reason, we'll have to see. Could be totally off base, but that's what immediately came to mind.
So, I just noticed Comickron1 only has three visable guns and doesn't seem to have any armaments or shielding on the bottom, other than the general shielding I mean.
Also the Federation apparently didn't have therapists until next generation, as evidenced by LT Bearclaw here.... even though the Vulcans aka the psychic space elves, are you know, telepathic and should really have seen things like massive revenge fantasies coming.
Vulcans are not that kind of telepath.
@@DrewLSsix hmm. fair.
I am surprised Linkara isn't more used to talking to himself.
he is, but he's used to the usual suspects.
So basically DCs Star Trek comics wouldn't get good until Peter David's run
OK Theory time!
The New Linkara is actually the 'Old' Linkara, Linkara from before the image change.
Linkara see's story telling as a thing of substance, just because a character grows and changes and gets a new image doesn't mean that the 'older version' doesn't exist now it exists as part of what that character is a becomes, there experiences and struggles are still a part of this character.
This Linkara is the old persona, Linkara before he planned to be proactive to threats and have defences ready but he's been here the whole time as part of our Linkara, present through everything like a shadow and he didnt fare as well, the threats and conflicts were harder on an unprepared Linkara.
My Theory is something has somehow Manifest the old Persona and we're seeing a how it could have affected him.
Or Ya know I'm just seeing something that's not there... if so... Hope you liked the over analysis of a fun video on the internet about comic books
raise your hands if you skipped to the linkara story
My theory is that the clone Linkara is somehow Mechakara.
Instead of being a clone of Linkara, he could be a clone (or the OG) of another of his characters - they all look similar after all.
Always fun to riff something Star Trek related.
4:22 - 5:17
That...was actually pretty damn good!
*Congratulations!* 👏
Earlier versions of the scripts (and the novelizations) stated Sulu *was* to command the Excelsior. Whether he had already been promoted, or if that would be done shortly before his officially taking command was unclear.
This makes his soul searching about helping Kirk spring McCoy and get to Genesis more poignant. He is giving up his dream right when he is on the verge of attaining it.
I think he's doing something akin to the TNG episode "Second Chances" he was 'cloned' by a faulty transporter. He has been transported several times in the run of the show. as TNG explained it, the transporter made a back up and didn't get the acknowledgement from the end location so it returned the back up where it was.
Yes! A month of me wishing I had your Starfleet uniforms!
Oh, and that "Federation using cloaking devices"?
Yeah, that entire treaty was invented during TNG to explain why the Federation never used cloaking technology despite being a tremendous asset besides "we're peaceful!"
Also, you may notice only smaller ships used cloaking during that era. It wasn't til TNG that big Romulan ships were using it. Cloaking devices in that Trekverse have enormous power consumption, which is why Klingon ships can't fire and cloak at the same time (at least not til Chang.)
I know this because I was reading those comics. After Star Trek III, Spock returned to being a full member of the Enterprise, til he had a "remission" just before the Star Trek IV comic so they could explain why he was having to train his mind again despite being a fully functioning member of the Enterprise for 2 years! :D
Could be a machination of the Entity...though incredibly doubtful considering that I'd imaging Linksano could detect that kind of energy. Iunno, maybe he's a resucitated 'extra life'?
For now, this seems to be the safe bet that this is likely related to 90 kids warning. It could refer to another character, but if he is referring to this character, it is unlikely the Entity, Vice, Mechakara or Holokara. Since the character foreshadowed needs to be able to show genuine remorse, which is out of character for those four villains.
He's the entity, reborn as Linkara. Linkara's the entity...again.
4:00 Did you forget that DS9 used retro rockets or something to move from Bajor’s orbit to near the Bajoran wormhole?
12:02 Obsession was the episode Kirk was referencing, IIRC.
12:43 Why is McCoy wearing that outfit? I thought he had the same uniform as everyone else in II-VI.
13:45 Since this is the movie era, I believe this was BEFORE the treaty that had the Federation ban the use of cloaking devices on their ship (the sole exception being the Defian- I mean the USS Ben Sisko Motherlovin’ Pimp Hand).
17:28 Must’ve been Koloth’s ghost that got killed by the Albino in DS9.
Since it’s Star Trektember, maybe Clone!Linkara is a duplicate in the vein of Thomas Riker.
Also, Koloth survived at least to the signing of the Khitomer accords in the tv show. Otherwise he couldn't have become friends with Kurzon Dax (see Trials and Tribbleations).
You know, the Entity couldn’t have been possessing Linkara if he’d been replaced during the Gunslinger arc. So that’s another reason why Linkara himself couldn’t have been switched at that time.
I think Koloth self-destructed so Kahless could have an excuse to break the treaty with a "proper cause."
My guess is that Twinkara will be created during either Startrek-tember or the Halloween arc. Storyline antics during the Clone Saga review will result in Twin being sent into the past to reveal vital information to past/present Linkara.
When you started going on about the Klingon ships I swear you sounded like Stardock talking about the 15 different type of bomber craft the Empire use.....
Nerd....all of it....all of it!
To be fair, I don't think the cloaking device treaty would be established until late in TNG, so long after this comic.
They probably just thought that, since it was a comic, they could fix the plot hole of Federation vessels not having cloaking devices by saying that they have them now.
Linkara's McCoy sounds exactly like Tonegawa from the Middle Management Blues dub, and it's my favorite thing.
I think the other Linkara is Pilo in disguise !
Cool concept with the clone. To bad we can´t make it like Retro-Kara with him reviewing older stuff since you are already doing it. And it is sort of nice seeing your old get up again. I have missed them. But that is good. That shows your show have grown and continued.
I am unreasonably excited for everything going on here.
c:
The novelization for Star Trek III stated Sulu WAS supposed to get command of the Excelsior after its shakedown, but then they committed several crimes so no dice.
