Star Trek VGR Episode 65 - Distant Origin

An incredibly Interesting episode. It sounds stupid, but it really wasn't. So it starts off with a group of humanoid dinosaurs, they are ... ironically ... paleontologists on their home world. Except they look for humanoid bones. The head archeologist lizard person (Gegen) is seeking to prove his theory that his people and humans came from the same origin. They find the "missing link" and eventually track down Voyager. After a few misunderstandings, they learn about each other and surmise that they both my have originated from Earth. Unfortunately his planets leaders do not want the truth getting out, so they threaten to destroy Voyager if Gegen doesn't refute his own theory ... so he does. In the end Chakotay gives the dejected Gegen a globe of Earth. It's a weird plot, but this is an actual conspiracy theory. Just look up David Icke. Truth be told, I actually wish Star Trek would use conspiracy theory stuff more often.

65 down 107 to go
