Star Strip page 104

Quinto-Spock tries to prove the illogic of Da-Tu's actions. She takes refuge in her species air of superiority that ties in with the indifference she alluded to earlier. Human are just so much cattle and we all know aliens do cattle mutilation all the time. There are plenty of dark tales of missing persons that hint at human mutilation in addition to probing orifices. More on that in a future Belle's Best.
The whole point here is that Rickover and gang are helpless and they know it. Rickover is no Jim Kirk. But then what would Kirk do in this instance? He probably would try to fight and be promptly beaten down just to show that he can still fight and that he is Jim Kirk Man of Action. But then taht is a TV series. Kirk doesn't believe in the no-win situation. Rickover does.

@bravo: haha I was messin with ya! I remember seeing one male get 'harvested' - didn't realize three had been 'Ensign Smith-ed'!! So, lots of people, of all sexes, have been gruesomely reduced to their bloody essences - all is good!! :D

Classic Star Trek morality here...the third panel is a classic Trek shot. Datu's ranting in the last panel reminded me of someone on an Internet message board. Maybe that's where she'll end up...

@KimLuster: Three males were harvested and are in the pile on the floor. It was really a question of where each member of the crew was when chosen for harvesting. If they were in detention as most of the males were they got passed over since Dancer grabbed crew on station with the Exo-belts. And as per Lon's orders those were mostly female. I thought I had more male characters to red-shirt but there was only three.

@plymayer: Roger Corman? The last movie he produced was Sharktopus versus Pteracuda! This is more along the lines of an anime.

How do we feel about eating beef?… cows form friendships with other cows… they have feelings and personalities… and they're delicious grilled… mmmh, short ribs…

I am starting to think Roger Corman produced this movie.

Riveting! Minor typo in bottom left panel... If she's gonna harvest, Da-Tu's gonna have to start harvesting more males to balance the ratio out. Sexism is illogical ;)

Spock makes good points, but it looks like Falsnorans aren't entirely logical creatures.
