Talk:Gabriel Bell

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Background Section

The fact that Sisko had been taught the history of the Bell Riots prior to his trip through time makes it clear that the events did happen, and by ensuring that they happened after Bell's death, Sisko was not altering history, but preserving it. It could still be speculated that it was a predestination paradox, but if that was the case, Temporal Investigations would not have had a reason to question Sisko on the events since in a predestination paradox, there would have been no alteration of the historical record, Bell would have been Sisko all along. --68.160.81.194 21:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


Re; Picture of the original Bell, why is it so dark and blurry? -- someone who has yet seen the episode

It was a dark scene, and he was in motion. Such is the case, unfortunatly, for many shots. -- Jaz talk 05:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Was Bell Really That Important?

Especially since millions of people die in a nuclear war a mere two years later. I can't really see how closing a few sanctuary areas would be all that significant. -- Jimmy Hill's Chin

[edit] Death Date

The death date here, I persume, is from the datapad we see Nog holding. However, this was the death date, and last day, of the historical Bell, that Sisko took over for. Didn't the original Bell die a couple days earlier, like, on September 1. --Nmajmani 23:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

It was the night of the 31st of August, counting from the date shown in the waiting room where Sisko and Bashir had to fill out their forms. - Archduk3:talk 06:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
