    See, it’s that interbreeding that’s the issue.

    Spock was originally fully Vulcan, and then he was a miracle of Vulcan and Human genetic science.

    And then the eugenics war became part of canon.

    But the writers still wanted hybrids, because they offer a glimpse into an alien culture.

    Which leaves us with a conundrum.

    I just feel that there was a better answer than “Ancient Aliens”.

      In a galaxy full of aliens with the same morphology and 3 or 4 godlike species like the traveler and Q, “ancient aliens” is where the answers start to fall apart?

        I’m just saying that 99% of the hybrids shown in any particular series could have still been explained as deliberate genetic manipulation. Many of them are.

        But mostly I’m still mad about how lazy that episodes seemed when compared to some of the other episodes that season.
