Juan Fernandez Yeah I remember that episode well. Loved watching next gen back when I was a kid. I think that was the episode where Picard and Wesley crashed in that shuttle.
@Kaleb Swager the truth about all science fiction is that if the protagonist and other characters made obvious logical decisions we wouldn't have much in the way of show's or movies to watch. You can say the same thing about all intertaiment
@K lake voyager liked to stop to sight see and send out probes whenever it ran across some phenomenon. plus they didn't have maps showing places to avoid due to hostile aliens or routes around black holes etc.
well, Vulcan's homeworld is Vulcan, here is there. i preferred their homeworld to have a unique names like the Klingon's homeworld is Qo'noS or Kronos, and the Asari's homeworld is Thessia or the Turian's homeworld is Palaven or the Salarian's homeworld is Sur'kesh
I always figured that since Starfleet uses universal translators that if its something the translator cannot translate to the tongue of the one hearing it (lets say the Malon home world name sounds to a human like breaking glass or a high pitched shriek) then it defaults to "X Prime". We have canon evidence this is true from that episode where Quark, Rom, and Nog got sent back in time and became the Roswell aliens because with their translators offline human speech sounded like gibberish so it obvious nobody actually bothers to learn other languages they just take whatever the translator gives them at face value.
I seen the translator tun in on languages not in their database over the time of a couple minutes/hours. This mean it is possible for every single individual to have their own unique language.

I believe they just did it because it is easy to accept and move on. If you name a planet a real name and it goes over poorly? It sours the milk more each time it is said.
Please do a cultural index on both spaceies thankyou 👍🏻 and perhaps you could also do a cultural index on another three Star Trek races the Bolians, Benzites and the Betszoids
This was a tough choice for me, as I feel the both the Tholians and the Hutts have little more than stereotypes defining them, at least at this time, and I do wish to learn more about both of them. So, since I'd love to see both societies delved into, but I must make a choice between them, I'll take the culture which I "met" first, of the two, that being the Tholians.
Another informative and well done Cultural Index Thanks for the information , I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE Personnel Files on First Officer of Federation ships.
Yes, and for its time it wasn't ham fisted with it. Now looking back it is obvious. Another reason I hate Discovery. It cares more about appearing "woke" then a good narrative.
Its the Star Trek sewage theme characters. In reality there should be a load of shielding in their ship and they should be pretty normal guys, or scronny guys who are always smiling about something.
Wouldn't it be tight if it turned out if the Malon were an oilargicy and it was the disposal industry that had poiltical power at this point in Enterprise?
I have never understood why don't they dump their waste into the nearest black hole. It would be much easier then spread their waste throughout the delta quadrant.
Because one could say that the magical waste will irradiate the whole starsystem with theta radiation from the star, which is not a problem when they throw the waste into the blackhole.
@@botondkalocsai5322 Yes but black holes themselves are not infinitely durable; their space can be disrupted like any other. All you blackhole commenters don't know much about the delicate balance even within space.
I always wondered if the Malon's we see have been made ugly due to the Waste and the Malon on the Homeworld are actually quite pleasing to the eyes. But that is just a thought I had years ago
I like to think that practically every species names its planet a form of "Earth" since the majority of life lives on land, and there's really only so many variations of the word Land. So to prevent the confusion of having several thousand Earth's, you either name a planet after its star or main species.
Here's a question: If Voyager, or another Federation vessel, had begun the process of reprocessing the theta radiation, how long would it take to process an export vessel's worth of theta radiation waste?
I like how you addressed the problem of species having almost the same name as their home world. It works in small amounts like how in halo the Sangheili come from Sangheilios while all the other races have differing names (Unggoy of Balaho, Jiralhanae of Doisac). A similar problem I have is that all the other races use ancient human words in the naming of things, such as the frequent use of Greek letters (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta) when they should have little to no linguistic similarities in their cultures.
If the Federation could develop a reliable way to get to the Malon's area of the Delta Quadrant, they could get a great trade deal out of them. Take the Malon's waste and recycle it to run Federation ships potentially cheaper than making new antimatter.
Vesek was a sculptor when at home, so some at least value art. They seem to indulge the children, remember that Pelk had bought a model ship for Vesek's son.
Maybe they wouldn't get such terrible radiation sickness if they actually wore their damned helmets. You can see on the suits, there are attachment points for a helmet and gloves, but we never, ever see them wearing any, rendering the suit completely pointless
Tholians for sure. Trek has always used them from the beginning as the mysterious mulligan bad guy- but never put the time into developing them. They put more focus into the Gornz than the Tholians, for petey's sake. And from all the boat-loads of all Treks I've seen, they have pretty well advanced technology for a bunch of space-ticks, spiders, and mites. BUTTTTT- THE HUTTTS... come back to them soon. Star Wars definately isn't an IP high on my favorites (getting squarely beat by Space:1999 and Ice Pirates lol haha) But I'm sure that I heard from a friend of a friend once, that the Hutts actually are supposed to be some kind of ancient race in SW, and that supposedly there's even a Hutt Jedi somewhere in the expanded SW universe. Can't EVEN imagine how that would work for all the Force acrobatics.... TOTALLY appreciate your time & effort that you put into your vids, Mr. Rick. Your graphics are tastefull, your info is square, your topics are interesting. It can get pretty boring out here in Or-y-gun, USA (Oregon). Your vids have helped pass the time more than I can count. Pretty good for a "Limey" lol.... THANK YOU!!!
his name was Beldorion. the ONLY Hutt to become a Jedi but fell to the dark side and set himself up as the ruler of the planet Nom Chorios starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Beldorion
The Malon definitely strike me as a civilization who were given warp tech by passing traders and did not discover it on their own. The Federation might have a Prime Directive. But I'm sure many aliens don't have any qualms about messing with primitive societies. The Malon were probably at the equivalent of their Victorian Era when warp tech was given to them in exchange for a bunch of food.
How about the Breen? Especially after the bomb dropped in today's episode of Star Trek Discovery. That they exist in either a physical form or one that looks like pure energy. And they can choose which way they want to be. Which makes me wonder, when the guy got injured, why didn't he just change back to his energy form?
this is just an interesting thought but id love to see the upper cooperate side of this race. like maybe they just turn a blind eye to the suffering and ignore issues that could be fixed to make a larger profit or something.
One problem is that matter-antimatter reactions aren't a way to generate energy. More exactly, it is a way of storing energy with very high density and power production. It takes energy to create antimatter for use as fuel. How is that energy generated? Fusion maybe?
I'd picture the UFP expanding into the delta quadrant and getting absolutely fed up with the Malon waste dumping and just giving the clean tech to the Malon people as a whole just to eliminate the issues. Just distribute the tech to such a degree that they government and disposal groups could never suppress it.
@@DolphyBlueDrake uh.. no DUUUUUH! you don't say.. I was quoting B'Elanna Torres, when she was referring to the malon, but hey thanks for the recap their Captain obvious.
@@theeternalsalvationist9674 I know that quote, and I don't care. She's wrong, too. That quote made me shake my head, since compared to the the Borg, they're practically saints. Sorry, but I _did_ know who you were quoting. It didn't do over my head, but I think the quote itself is stupid.
Should we change the name of our planet to Human? We live on Human Prime. Or , call ourselves Earths ? Mr Klingon, I would like you to meet the Earth that is captain of our ship.
yeah we don't call earth Human Prime.... or Terra prime for the Terrans of the mirror universe. But i want to know how does starfleet actually deal with this waste? is it chruned into replicator fuel?
I imagine that they just build cleaner reactors that take as input very pure deuterium and anti-deuterium, and then balance that reaction so perfectly that all waste is self-consuming.
Gotta say, that captain was a idiot. He could've become a multi billionaire by being the guy everyone would pay royalties and such to to use the tech he obtained from voyager, not to mention being the only to produce the tech for the first few years of its existence.
Not exactly, using the name of the planet to refer to the species is for ease of use, just as we are not known as humans but terrans as we come from the planet Terra, however just as cardassians come from cardassia, they have a word sinonim to the word human. Just as Vulcans come from Vulcan and Andorians from Andoria.
It always bothered me they looked for new places to dump their waste. Just find the closest black hole and all your waste disposal problems are gone in an instant.
What is anti-matter waste anyway? Matter and anti-matter mutually annhilate each other resulting in 100% conversion of mass to energy, there's no waste left over from the reaction.
Where do they ship the waste even? Why not find a neighbouring sun and dump all the garbage in there? You might argue that it causes dangerous chemicals or radiation to be released or something. But surely that radiation wouldn't be able to travel to a different solar system!
Radiation travels at light speed, mate. Our closest neighbor is about 4-5 light years away. If we dumped radiation into the star, we'd be screwed in five years when the planet is hit with theta ray blasts. That's _why_ they have to go out so far and into the middle of nowhere.
To be fair, we don’t call humans earthlings, but we call people from America Americans. That’s why I like how StarCraft made humans Terrans, presumably from Tera. It’s consistent… except I don’t think the Protos are named after their planet so I guess the then broke that.
