What's with the dolphin? Is that some one from.... what's-his-face Hwii?.... Hwii's species?

Hwii was a cetacean alien who was described as a dolphin floating in a sort of bubble of water on a hovering pad. It was in the "Dark Mirror" novel.

I'm amazed that you know about/remember the "life support belts" that we saw in Star Trek: TAS. Almost NOBODY I know, even most of the more "serious" fans, even know that there was an animated series.
(I'm not much better, I once had it all on my computer - and then the hard drive died! But at least I watched a number of episodes before it happened!)

I thought it was a pretty innovative thing, as well as the fact that the show established that yes, Kirk *did* have a primitive Holodeck type room ("The Practical Joker (TAS)") long before TNG came along and established the Holodeck as most fans know it! It kind of justifies the appearance of holographic chambers that the NX-01 crew encountered in "Enterprise" if Kirk had a Holodeck by the late 2260s.

Quite the opposite, in fact. I've now trained it to sit, beg, and fetch (planets)!
Of course when it brings 'em back, they look rather like a Golden Retriever's tennis ball....

They were mentioned in his Next Gen Enterprise-D blueprints. So... I guess it makes them sorta-kinda-quasi canon. But I don't think they ever appeared on screen and certainly may have fallen out of favor, since.

Tell me about it! Still not sure it was successful as I like. My mind's eye view was cooler.... but that's often the case.

Yeah, kinda, though I wasn't really consciously thinking of that.

I also like the TAS throwback with the Enviro Fields...I always thought that was a superb Idea, even when I was a kid! And that was a long time ago!!! lol
So tell me is the Dolphin's name Darwin? lol

Guilty. I skimmed it, but I have read it now.
So the universal translator reads Darwin?
