Talk:Telek R'Mor

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

There is a reference in one of the Pathfinder episodes to 'the Romulans always had an intest in Voyager' something like that, I took it to mean his msg did get passed along, just not as planned. Tyrant 02:49, 26 Jan 2005 (CET)Tyrant

Got it, it's from "Inside Man", when Barclay was telling his commander about possible governments that would want to interfere with the Pathfinder project, he mentioned the Romulans. And he says the Romulans have been interested in Voyager for years. Tyrant 16:04, 26 Jan 2005 (CET)Tyrant

That is, by far, purely speculation. --Gvsualan 23:43, 26 Jan 2005 (CET)

And it was noted as such. "Telek R'Mor may have sparked Romulan interest in Voyager, on Inside Man, Barclay says the Romulans have been interested in Voyager for years." I am not the first trek fan to notice that tidbit and I think it most definitly deserved that small note. Tyrant 23:55, 26 Jan 2005 (CET)Tyrant

I just think it's a cute reference to this episode for the fans. Nothing else went on with Romulans between (besides "Message in a Bottle") and there's not really any other good reason the Romulan govenment would be interested in one ship of a class, that wasn't even around to be interested in.

The thing is -- it isn't a reference at all to this episode or character: zero evidence exists. Voyager had already been lost for "years" at that point. Barclay's comment could be attributed to any one of a dozen things: from his paranoid tendencies, to him grasping at straws (which is what he was doing at the time) or just plain good intelligence on the part of the Tal Shiar. After all, the Romulans certainly seemed to have their 'A-game' on when they learned about and were able to capture the Prometheus. Keeping that in mind, finding intelligence on and having interest in 'some ship lost in the Delta Quadrant' would be small potatoes compared to capturing the most advanced starship in the Federation, much less any indication that they had off-set fore-knowledge of the situation. The Romulans are in the business of good intelligence. Secondly, the Ferengi seemed to be fully aware of Voyager as well, and there was no contact made with them prior to that that would have given them the knowledge they had. So, the reality of the situation is that it was fairly common knowledge. Whichever the case, there is far too much speculation to support any theories when there is no direct references tying the two links together. If Barclay had said, "They have been interested in Voyager for years, ever since they sent us that data transmission from the crew they received 20 years ago,�? or "Our intelligence is aware of Romulan contact with Voyager," then you may be able to make the speculation that that data was received by the Romulans from R'Mor. Bottom line, it's not necessary to mention something that has no direct relevance to the issue. --Gvsualan 00:45, 28 Jan 2005 (CET)

Haha, well played. I retract my argument, hope I didn't get you too hot. Tyrant 00:53, 28 Jan 2005 (CET)Tyrant

[edit] More speculation

By 2353, R'Mor had returned to Romulus, and would see his daughter, who was now two-years old, for the first time.

There is absolutely no evidence of this in the episode. It's pure speculation.

Yes, it was supposed to happen, but it is not cerain that is actually did. 90.231.197.44 19:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

That, however, does not change the fact that it is speculation and non-canon.--31dot 00:13, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
