#''you could put the word secret in front of any aspect of romulan society'' and that includes grandma's name and place of birth

[mylittleredgirl]

first up on the infinite list of new trek things i’m too obsessed with to articulate clearly: tallinn star trek 😍, and how she’s definitely related to laris, and specifically how the supervisors are descendants of people taken from their respective planets six thousand years ago -- so, how did tallinn’s genes get reintegrated into romulan society?

did one of tallinn’s close relatives get assigned to protect someone on romulus but they abandoned their mission? or completed their mission and didn’t leave?? and then had a CHILD on romulus??? was it maybe even with the person they were sent to protect, who is never supposed to see them??? is there an empty branch in laris’s family tree that picard’s about to fill in for her? this sounds like a major supervisor scandal and i CRAVE gossip.

#it's possible having mystery relatives isn't even that unusual on romulus #''you could put the word secret in front of any aspect of romulan society'' and that includes grandma's name and place of birth #and also thinking about how tallinn gently violated the rules in order to talk to renee #and laris left (!) the tal shiar (!!) to go make wine on earth #so bucking the system is also part of that genetic line #i really did think tallinn was going to somehow end up being laris because of a memory wipe or something right up until the end #star trek picard #star trek thoughts
