    The proper term is asexual, actually, since a monogendered species would only be capable of asexual reproduction. Pansexual means multiple gender types (more than two).

    Star Trek has various species of multiple gender types (Andorians, and presumably Rigelians). We love them all.

    in truth "asexual" means no sexual organs at all... It implies no sexual reproduction.

    The correct term for a person with traits of both genders in a race with normally distinct genders is "intersexual".

    If the race exhibits both genders in an individual as a default (I.E: snails, worms, etc...) the correct term is "Hermaphrodite".

    Am I the only one who noticed they appear to be made of CRYSTAL?

    Now as a geologist I can categorically state there are no male or female crystals :D.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    has anyone considered they ,ay be a race that reproduces in another fashion, and that sex as we know it i.e. male and female could be irrelevenat and infact an alien idea to them.

    Cue a geochemist telling you you're wrong, generally how it goes. ;-)

    Also, I feel this mineral is appropriate now.

    I apologise.

    kinda sidenote but the lady-like-thing reminded me of the lady-like-robot-thing from one of the Animatrix episodes (Golden body green eyes etc?)

    Thought id share.. D:

    YES! So I'm not the only one that saw that!

    As far as the voice, I was totally reminded of this (give it a few seconds after he starts speaking for it to change)...

    Hmmn. The redder concept was sexier imo. Probably because red. Or that concept art tends to look better than the final product. One way or another, Evil is sexy.

    Red would not have worked all that well against the inundation of red that is Qo'noS, though, so I can see why the devs didn't go with that for that scene. Maybe we will see other colors at other times...
