My thought on the Vulcan who stayed behind on Earth in the episode Carbon Creek is that he was relatively young by Vulcan standards. Probably only in his 30s or 40s. He had a lot of life ahead of him and managed to live as a human until official first contact was made. When the Vulcan Embassy on Earth was established, he quietly made his way there and shared his anthropological findings.

My issue with most people's interpretation is the assumption he would die before first contact. Vulcans live a long time and Nastral as at most middle age; he would likely survive well over 100 years on earth. In my head he just walks into the vulcan embassy and is quietly taken back to vulcan (no need to freak out the emotional humans).

He had subsequent attacks noticed in later years, leaving after a century of activity on earth.

"Carbon Creek" is easily one of my absolute favorite episodes, of "S.T. ~ Enterprise"! I have occasionally caught myself wondering about Mestril's life, in 1950's America, after their rescue ship departed without him. He had a good heart, and he did not seem to be overly burdened with suppressing his emotions, entirely. I do hope that he had love, and friendship, in his life. I hope he had someone to whom he was able to confide the truth to about who, and what, he really was. Someone, who would keep his secret, and who would help him. I really do hope that he did live for a long time, and that he prospered. 🖖🍻✌

I would also love to know what his status was, but considering that Vulcans live in average of three times the average life expectancy of a human in that decade, unfortunately even if you fell in love with someone and spent their life with them, they would die while he was still a relatively young man. He could spend the next person's life with them and the next person and maybe get old and gray and die with them the third time around. However considering that Vulcan emotions when they are not being fully suppressed or significantly stronger than humans, his grief if he was not practicing his emotional suppression may have overwhelmed him.

I think Mestral's fate is a sad piece of peotic irony. His comrades saw humans as Savage and would use their relatively new Atomic weapons to destroy themselves whilst he saw the good potential in us. Perhaps, sadly, the reason no one found his body was because he lived long enough to become one of the millions of casualties of the Third World War and there was nothing left of him to examine.

Given the increasing death toll of WW3 in later and later references to it I suspect he did die, but I’d like to think he survived and tried to help rebuild. That these aliens he lived with were going through the same thing Vulcans did (and in a way had their own Romulans by way of Khan’s Augment exiles) and they also simply needed to be shown a better way. Maybe he helped establish First Contact directly or indirectly by somehow helping human science along the way, knowing the Vulcans were watching and what their schedule would be.

Before we even get started, I will say that Carbon Creek and little green men both better be on this list otherwise it is incomplete. Oh yes and I believe there was Gary 72 although I don't know too much about that one because I've only seen it once or twice ages ago. There is also the fact that Guinan was in the past in season two of Picard as well as in times arrow in the next generation. In addition to her on times arrow there was those aliens. I'll probably think of Moore as I'm watching but all of those examples must be there in order for the list to be complete and I know I'm probably missing some.

At 12:30, one of the cloaked ship’s landing feet crushed the trash can, but not the grass itself. The ground appears to get flatten, but the grass on top of it does not. That’s some bad special effects and then relying on people watching it to be distracted by the flattening of the trash can to not notice the grass not flattening. But, in the end, it was a fun film to watch.

It was a practical effect. They could rig the can to flatten, but rigging every blade of grass would be a bit much.

Unless I missed it, Star Trek Enterpise: Regeneration should have easily made the list. It is my favorite of Enterprise. At least in the top 7...10 favs is hard to reach...more like acceptable. But Regeneration of a BORG cannot be left out. It would have to be number 1 actually! It teased and tested StarTrek Dogma, but did not cross it! Brilliant episode! If the writers could have maintained that level, Enterprise could have had the customary 7 seasons!

I think Redjac counts as an alien if you're bringing in things that are even more powerful like the Q. A third episode you could do would be the non-canon but licensed instances, some of which directly involve the aliens from this episode. The Mesoamerican god from the animated series, the Preserver trilogy by Shatner & the Reeves-Stevens, etc.

Kirk Randolph Thatcher was an associate producer of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and played the part of the music-blasting Punk on Bus in that film. Thatcher actually composed the song "I Hate You" which plays on his boombox in the movie.

I imagine Mestral was still alive 100 plus years later when Vulcans arrived. In fact if he teamed up with Roberta Lincoln and eventually the other Watchers, that would be awesome. And what if they worked with Rios and/or Cochrane?

Don't forget DS9's "Little Green Men." The Ferengi were the aliens whose ship was taken to Area 51 in 1949. Along with a stowaway changeling the U.S. Air Force were unaware of.

The irony is that Quinn didn't have to off himself. He could have just waited awhile longer for his eventual natural death, as it is confirmed that Q's can eventually die of old age in Picard season 3. However, billions of years of existence doing literally everything would eventually get boring, so maybe he did have a point.

Ferengis in the DS9 episode Little Green Men, or the crew of Voyager incl. Tuvok in 1990s Earth. My personal favorite when Kira and O'Brian are looking for Sisko and Bashir (stuck in 21st century Earth ghetto), but they teleport into 1960s where they meet two hippies who give them flowers before they are transported away, which for the hippies probably was believable :D That still gets me:)
