Tbh I'm as surprised as you that they didn't make her the mother of all life in some fawning and pathetic attempt to pander to politics. Was still garbage however.
Other theory: the Founders weren't created by the Progenitors casting off all their evil into Armus. Armus was just purge batch #1. _They_ were purge batch #2. Dumping them in another quadrant was just a standard waste dilution practice, a safety feature.
It'd be one in the eye for the Founders. "here have a look at this. You were bio-waste the Progenitors didn't even need or want in their quest to make humanoid solids. You weren't even worth effort to neutralise. They just threw you on a barren rock and said f-you" 😂
The only thing I’d say about this is evolution is largely down to natural selection. Paris could have evolved into millions of different potential species
That definitely would have to be one of the worst Trek episodes of all time -- a complete lack of understanding how natural selection determines evolution.
I think Paramount etc., is making a big mistake in not making a cable show, on the Life and Times of Pseudo Pods? Or whatever they turned into. Paris and Janeway, the original actors, dress up in furry costumes, showing how they Would have been if they were not taken back. It could be done like a musical. Like Cats! I can see it now, having an assemble cast of actors. Like Jeremy Irons, Anthony Hopkins, Kate Winslow, Emma Watson and more! All doing Shakespearian type language. You can take my idea and make money from it. You don't have to thank me.
"Yo, Beverly, how many of your seasonal romances end up as an alternate lifeform? I think you have a type. Even Picard in the end...became a synthoid or some crap"
@@Canoby when Worf give up Alexander he at least made sure someone else raised him, but Janeway abandoned her 3 children to fend for themselves in an alien swamp while ran away 70,000 light-years and never thought of her children again! Janeway is definitely the worst parent in "Starfleet", but the worst parent in Star Trek award goes to Garek's father.
How did they know that one day they would be gone in the first place? Did they time travel to the future and spot michael tossing the last of their kind into a black hole? Ouch.
Based on what we know about evolution, I dare say it's not only probable but also inevitable. if humanity expands to distant colonies with no instantaneous travel, it's plausible that over time, genetic, cultural, and environmental differences could lead to distinct evolutionary branches. Factors like isolation, different planetary environments, and limited gene flow between colonies could drive this diversification, potentially resulting in varied human adaptations and new cultural identities.
Mashing all those together really shows how limited many sci-fi writers are. Not just Star Trek, but SOOOO many things have an ancient extinct race, or evil AI. Hell I love Expanse and even that has both.
I don't like there being like one uni-theory tying everything together in Star Trek, but this is some fun speculation I don't think the Great Link was quite successful in excising toxicity when it finally expelled Armus lol
@@travissmith2848 Maybe it wasn't 100% successful. Remember that Troi realized that Armus still felt lonely and rejected by his creators. There was a little bit of love there.
I would also suggest another possible theory. In The Animated Series, there are the Slavers, or "Thrintun" as they are called in Larry Niven's _Know Space_ series who ruled the entire Milky Way over a billion years ago in the Trek universe. While not part of Trek lore it is stated they came to power by taking over, enslaving, and later killing a much more ancient and advance alien species. Perhaps if this is also the case in Trek those aliens could have been the Trek's Progenitors.
Voyager already had some strange comical ideas. There is no predetermined form which humanity will evolve into. That would be the opposite of evolution. Evolution is about adaptation to the existing environment.
So sad that Discovery and Picard have continuously chosen to single out and bastardize the best stories from TNG. I only just learned of them crapping all over the Progenitor story line recently, since I havent watched the STD since the season where they went to the future. It was very mediocre and was the last straw for me. I only gave Picard 1 season, and it was just too depressing and insulting to the legacy. They even managed to drag in Seven of Nine into it, and spit of that character. Man... I really hope someone buys the IP from Paramount, and discards all this modern "Trek" before going back and making something new that actually respects the original content and original fans.
Is 6:11 from Elysium? The next Star Trek show should be about the copy of the Doctor meeting up with the Paris + Janeway offspring and them having fun adventures in the 33rd century.
I think if you spend 10 episodes and you get to the end, and the not- Progenitor says they're extinct, who cares at this point? What about those 10 episodes? Why did any of them happen? What does that have to do with progenitors creating a technology and clues? Why did we even watch Moll and La'ack on their supposed Bonnie and Clyde routine (PR words not mine)?
In the final episode they reveal the progenitors didn't actually create the technology or the clues; some other ancient race made the tech and the scientists made the clues. The entire reason for Moll and La'ack wanting to find the progenitor tech was so they'd be able to somehow buy their way out of the blood bounty without killing La'acks uncle. Why did the episodes happen? Kovich SOMEHOW got intel on where that romulan ship was with the clue to the progenitor tech and gave everyone the "red directive" mission to find the tech before the Breen. Does any of this plot really make any sense if you really think about it? Barely.
@@MajorGrin Funny, according to Braga the entire plot was to show that not all prices evolve, some devolve, but that dialog was left out. A mess of an episode no matter what they said.

Maybe Kurtzman snuck aboard with Paris on the shuttle. That would explain alot.
I’m still genuinely surprised that it wasn’t Michael who became the ultimate progenitor and birthed the entire Star Trek universe tbh

They saw their creations would create someone as dumb as Michael, Adiraz Gray, Colber and Tilly and committed hari-kari out of shame
😂
U a hater
@@danox2851I'm a LOVER of better stories, better characters
@Tallacus lol, is that really the problem you have. Or is there an underline reason just like when deep space came out
The only thing I’d say about this is evolution is largely down to natural selection. Paris could have evolved into millions of different potential species
Nah, some rando alien race gets to evolve into pure energy while humans get to be pure amphibian.
That definitely would have to be one of the worst Trek episodes of all time -- a complete lack of understanding how natural selection determines evolution.
@@randomelement5510 Please, most Ferengi and Jake episodes on DS9 were far, far worse.

Is this the is this by the guy who did the theory on Picard season 3? That was brilliant!

I like how he turned into a loofah 4:06
Why in that black mass of nano-tech ,was there an obvious star of David?Jesus.C'mon.
2:05 What is this from?

@@MajorGrin Thanks. I haven’t watched that far.

They went woke, that's how
Just enjoy trek without all that sir
Probably😂
What is wrong with being cognitively aware?
@@danox2851the woke can never be enjoyed nor does it last. Hence the cancellations and return to the basics. Don’t hate the obvious.
They all became gay and stopped reproducing.
"Yo, Beverly, how many of your seasonal romances end up as an alternate lifeform? I think you have a type. Even Picard in the end...became a synthoid or some crap"
well at least Beverly is a better mother than Janeway
@@bigfootwalker5399 I do believe the gold standard of shitty Star Trek parents is still Worf

maybe they just knew they really couldnt be bothered to stop anything that might wipe them out, so it was just a matter of time
It takes a lot of self-awareness to know that one day, your species will cease to exist.
I think Star Trek has stumbled its way into implying that Humanity will evolve into numerous different species.
Based on what we know about evolution, I dare say it's not only probable but also inevitable. if humanity expands to distant colonies with no instantaneous travel, it's plausible that over time, genetic, cultural, and environmental differences could lead to distinct evolutionary branches. Factors like isolation, different planetary environments, and limited gene flow between colonies could drive this diversification, potentially resulting in varied human adaptations and new cultural identities.
So "The Progenitors" became "The Founders"? well I guess that works.
Mashing all those together really shows how limited many sci-fi writers are. Not just Star Trek, but SOOOO many things have an ancient extinct race, or evil AI.
Hell I love Expanse and even that has both.
So... the Progenitors are actually "Yakub"?
5:45 what the Halo is this Mass Effect?
It's Moonfall, a 2022 movie

I don't like there being like one uni-theory tying everything together in Star Trek, but this is some fun speculation
I don't think the Great Link was quite successful in excising toxicity when it finally expelled Armus lol
Armus was chaos, the Founders were obsessed with order.
@@SwayRod836 Yet the Founders had no shortage of anger, malice, hatred........

@@danox2851 Is that what that footage of that women giving birth to frogs is from? That is some Hentai shit right there
@@jeremybaker5452 yep
It is like a column in a news paper but in a form of a video ;) Great stuff Grin ;)
Where's the monster from 1:36 from? looks like a water version of the cat thing from Attack of the Clones

There is no predetermined form which humanity will evolve into. That would be the opposite of evolution.
Evolution is about adaptation to the existing environment.
Good thing there are beings Like Q to watch over humanity and make sure that they survive.
Listen to Cosmos by T. A.T.U. Our home forever is outer space.
I thought the Iconians destroyed them?
If scifi has taught me anything, evolution is just like tripping on acid 🤪
Looking back, TNG Season 1 was alot like TOS, with the surreal atmosphere and exotic worlds we never see again
too much pokemon style evolution

I’m starting to think Major Grins head would explode if he doesn’t let such creativity and thought out with these videos.

Wrong. Paris DEVOLVED. Even the writer of this episode said so. They even deleted dialog that said that that’s why the episode makes no sense.
the dialogue from the actual episode is in this video
