Continuity?? (minor spoilerish)

[Tricky]

Colonel Green. I remember him from....I suck at Ep. names, it was the one with the Excaliban, the recreated Lincoln and a battle to decide good and evil (so....you can create perfect replicas of histories greatest/worst people, but you have no concept of good and evil??? )

Any way, I always thought he was from Pre WWIII, and maybe he started it, or his actions precipated it.

Now in "Terra Prime" he's a guy calling for the cleansing of the mutants (Someone call Bryan Singer) and diseased from the population?? Did i get the TOS ep/background wrong?? I mean, they used to say that we "Avoided" our Third World war, so he couldn't have been some anti-rad activist.

Any thoughts?

By the by, anyone watching the episode, the shot of Mr. Weller and his Hypospray...what do you think his secret is. I mean they included the 'Col. Green' bit for a reason. I'm thinking he's a mutie, or maybe an alien, but I could be wrong. But he used that Hypo in a very "i cant let anyone find out I'm...."

And why create a Vulcan/Human hybrid if you hate/fear the prospect of species intermixing?

[BouncyCaitian]

well, if I'm going to be a evil sort like paxton, Culture a lethal disease that affects both species in the child, let the kid be taken, and say "I told you so" when the virus starts ravaging Vulcans and humans. I'm sorta getting that impression from what I've seen so far.

Hmmmm....interesting.

You'd need to immunize yourself before the virus is released.

And I remember a reference about chemical weapons, or maybe bio, in regards to Colonel Green.

hmmmm

facinating

Just to mention quickly, for clarification's sake: the episode in question was "The Savage Curtain", and had the distinction of being the second-last episode broadcast for TOS. It also introduced Kahless the Unforgettable (who apparently mollified his tyrannical, despotic personality with imitations he did in stand-up routines; observers from the First Empire called him "the Jim Carrey of our generation", which creates puzzlement because of the utter impossibility of the Klingons having heard of our species at that point. Oh well)

[Owen E Oulton]

Any thoughts?

The sum total of the background we are given in The Savage Curtain is a line by Spock when he recognises Green: "Colonel Green, who waged a genocidal war." Period - that's it. Sure, there have been novels and comics which have expanded to varying degrees, but they're just licensed products which have no relevance to canon continuity. In fact, the one novel which went into great detail on Green was so completely blown out of the water by the movie First Contact that it was completely irrelevant, anyway.

Actually Owen (funny, but my name is Owen as well) they also said that Col. Green struck at his enemies while he was negotiating with them. Kirk mentioned it when Green was pretending to want to work together to escape. Of course he was being a decoy so his minions could strike while he negotiated. I guess some things never change
