Talk:Martok (Changeling)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

In The Way of the Warrior, the Martok changeling cut his hand with a Klingon dagger revealing real blood. Wouldn't this be evidence showing that the real Martok was abducted after the beginning of the Klingon-Federation War? The alternative explanation is that the Martok changeling somehow faked the blood test. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.110.29.246 (talk).

It would actually seem that the Martok changeling had faked the blood test. Klingons are said to be paranoid about blood screenings. During his time as Gowron's right-hand, he would have had to pass many of these, and apparently did. --OuroborosCobra 17:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] end of hostilities after his death

At the end of this article, it states that hostilities between the Federation and the Klingon Empire ended after the Martok changelings death. I can find no evidence to support this claim. At the end of the episode, Gowron says the fighting can only stop if the Federation allows the Klingons to annex the Archanis sector, something Sisko says is unlikely. Two episodes later we have "Nor the Battle to the Strong". This episode has Jake witnesses first hand the horrors of war, war with the Klingons. He witnesses terrible fighting. Sure doesn't sound like an end of hostilities to me. The closest I can find is a reference by Jadzia Dax in the episode between the two, "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places" to peace talks between the two governments. Unfortunetly, this is not even a sign of a cease-fire. Peace talks usually come before a cease-fire (see Vietnam War). I am therefore changing the article. --OuroborosCobra 17:48, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
