minus-squarechemical_cutthroat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up25·10 months agoDon’t worry, companies like 23andMe and Ancestry have been banking DNA records, so mimicking blood won’t be too hard, either.
minus-squareryper@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 months agoI think that stopped working as of Picard season 3.
minus-squareHiddenLayer5@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoWait really? Haven’t seen Picard, what happened?
minus-squareSpaceCowboy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down2·10 months agoTwo seasons of stupid garbage followed by Season 3 which just ignored the garbage and made things right.
minus-squareSpaceCowboy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoYeah but isn’t it just the changelings that Starfleet did all the fucked up experiments on that bleed?
minus-squareIm_old@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agotechnically yes, but IIRC they were pretty much the only changelings remaining since the others were wiped out in the war? I missed a few Star Trek shows/alternate timelines etc so I might be wrong.
minus-squareHiddenLayer5@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoSo they’ve gotten better at mimicking other life forms? Is that the canonical reason in the show or is Picard just going against established lore?
minus-squareCaptPretentious@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·10 months agoI only watched a little of Picard before I gave up. But if I had to guess, it’s that the writers never watched any Star Trek, so they get a lot wrong.

Two seasons of stupid garbage followed by Season 3 which just ignored the garbage and made things right.
Well, changelings bleed for example
