Talk:Noonien Soong
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
There's speculation that Arik Soong made good his escape sometime after ENT, moved to the planet in the Briar Patch, and assumed a new identity when emerging again. Since there's no canon statement that he died or ever had children, this theory is not entirely unlikely (why else mention the Briar Patch?). It might be added to the article as an aside.
- Actually, there's absolutely nothing linking the two canonically. As in zero, zip. I suggest removal of the definitive statement, replaced by a speculative assertation. --The Rev 23:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
If I recall correctly there's an episode of him coming in the Uss enterprise and talking with Data, stating he is 100+ something years old...having a precise age coudl solve all of the speculations about him being the other soong guy.
- Given that Arik Soong was aware of the Briar Patch and felt that, should he escape custody, one of the two planets in the region would make an excellent hiding space, it is also conceivable that the two Soongs are the same person, having taken refuge on the Ba'ku Planet and being kept alive and healthy for decades by the metaphasic radiation in its rings.
