@[email protected] What can we know (or at least guess) about Tellarite culture and behavior from Jankom Pog?
This is going to be pretty open-ended, but I’m curious: given that Jankom is the only Tellarite main cast member of any Star Trek series, what might his personality, behavior, relationships (etc.) tell us about Tellarites as a whole, or their relationships with other species within or outside the Federation? Obviously, it’s not easy to know much from Jankom in particular (given that he’s a kid and grew up among pre-Federation Tellarites), but thematically, I think it would be nice if one could draw some lines (even if it’s wild speculation) between his his role in the team, and the fact that the Tellarites we see in ENT not only help found the Federation, but never leave it, even after the Burn (IMO, one of the most fascinating bits of worldbuilding that’s ever been dropped in an off-screen monologue).
That officer on Janeway’s ship was very rude and prejudiced to Pog if I member correctly.
