| Jan 2, 2017 at 1:00 | comment | added | Valorum | @Random832 - Voyager's travel time is based on a high-warp trajectory. The pods are (presumably) designed to travel for decades at lower warp without the need for maintenance. | |
| Jan 2, 2017 at 0:59 | comment | added | Valorum | @ruakh - Ah, I suspect this is because the pod is smart enough to detect that it's in a different part of the galaxy and go into orbit on the nearest warp-capable planet. The travel time is irrelevant. | |
| Jan 2, 2017 at 0:57 | comment | added | ruakh | @Valorum: But then why did they have any expectation about when he would get back? The statement only seems to make sense if they knew roughly where Odo's pod was supposed to end up, and how long it would take it to get back. | |
| Jan 2, 2017 at 0:55 | comment | added | Random832 | @Valorum Yes, but if there were some mechanism guaranteeing, as the exchange suggests, that it wouldn't land next door, it should have then ended up three hundred years' travel time away from Bajor (also where in the galaxy would it take three hundred years to return from, given Voyager's projected travel time of 70-odd years?) | |
| Jan 2, 2017 at 0:40 | comment | added | Valorum | @ruakh - I don't see why that shouldn't be the case. His people live on the other side of the wormhole and sent a hundred self-guided pods off in 100 directions. One of those pods went through the wormhole and landed on Bajor. A few years later he came back through the same wormhole and found his people again. | |
| Jan 2, 2017 at 0:38 | comment | added | ruakh | +1. Though I've always hated the exchange you quote, because in the first episode of DS9 it's implied that Odo actually came through the wormhole to begin with. It's too minor a retcon to really be considered a retcon, but still. :-P | |
