OT-Sybok and The Way to Eden.

[Tharmatuge Stickelore]

i am rewatching the old trek ep'th way to eden' and was thinking about
sybok in trek 5. spock was interested in severin's search for eden. did
he get that from his exposure to sybok lo those many years before? it
seems a lot of the concepts are similar, though the destinations were
different. did 'god' [the superbeing trapped in the center of the
galaxy] plant the whole idea of an 'eden' throughout the collective
unconscience of humanoids in the gALAXY to lure them there to release
it? was it vague aND UNSPECIFIC ENOUGH TO bear deviance in different
species? maybe that was why severin sought out 'eden' in romulan space
instead of the center of the galaxy and the great barrier.

Since the script for The Way to Eden was written about 20 years before the
script for Trek 5, and the character of Sybok wasn't in the original series
bible, it's pretty obvious the answer is no.

Yes, what you say is true, but i was writing more from an 'in-universe'
POV than a literal POV of 'our' reality where Star Trek is a TV show. I
was writing more as if the Trek reality was the place where my article
was written: more of a historical document or theory of actual events.

And that's why us trekkers think you trekkies are a bunch of nerds ;)
